How Many Keywords?

[learnsearch]

In an article, say about Web Design Florida, how many times would you mention the keyword in 2000 words?

Could using it too many times effect it indexing and ranking?

 

[tazarbm]

10-20 times

10-20 times

I'm currently at 20 placements, I just didn't want to make it look too stuffed and therefore struggle to index

Are you writing for search engines or the reader?

There's no hard and fast rule, but Rank Math, Yoast etc all have suggestions, if you use these types of plugins.

you can add it a few more times if it makes sense and you absolutely need it, don't worry about being penalized or anything

I just like to keep my keyword density around 1% whenever possible, but you can get away with much more than that (I'd say 5% or even more), but I'm too panicky, so I choose 1%

It depends on number of things and there is no hard and fast rule. It results in "keyword stuffing" if you try doing it.
The solution for this untill recently suggested by big seo gurus was use "lsi keywords". This has been largely discredited and labeled as keyword stuffing lite.
So what to do?
Use a seo plugin like rankmath and try getting green light and increase overall on page seo score.
Take it to next level by using Surfer seo live content editor.
Take it further beyond by using Jarvis.ai to generate high quality ai content and using it on your articles and website.

For the reader of course but also to rank too.

I use Yoast personally and that was happy with what I had written, just going through a checklist to make sure what I'm writing is good enough to rank to make sure I'm not the indexing problem.

I just want to include it enough to rank haha! Just trying to make sure my content is as strong as possible.

I got a green light using Yoast which is my usual SEO Plugin, I'm just trying to make sure my content strategy and process is absolutely right!

Ahh, so thats your problem. Do not use yoast. Let me say again. Do not use yoast.

Hello @IM Rider Can you please share your experience of using Jarvis.AI for content??

Is that worth of money and gives the perfect content?

 

[IM Dude]

Oh wait, really? How come?

Search and read this forum to find out.
Many people here have come to this conclusion learning the hard way.
So take this as a golden nugget.

What would you honestly recommend as a replacement? I'll pull the plugin off my site right now lol

 

[gregstereo]

In general 1-2% will be the right range. If the content flow demands more then no need to worry about this number. You can have more no of keywords.

No content is perfect, including Jarvis ( or as it's now called Jasper ) as it still needs to be checked and proofread.

It is a huge time saver though, as it can run on Boss Mode in the background.

Here are the recommendations:

But I am personally using rankmath free version , and i am fine with it.

I'll take a look at that guide! How good is The SEO Framework? Is it the one?

I'm stuck between RankMath & SEO Framework, which is the best for content guidance & meta content?

Thanks for your suggestion @MisterF .

My concern is that whether it is better to save time and money when compared to using writers?

I'm happy with it, but I never overthink SEO. I just go with the basics (because I usually target easy niches and keywords, and I don't need to mind every pixel on the page. This is not to say that TSF can't handle heavy work, all I'm trying to say is that it looks cleaner, faster and simpler than RankMath, and for the stuff that I need a SEO plugin to do - automatically create sitemaps, noindex tag pages, and allow for setting up meta tags- TSF is all I need. RankMath seems way more complex, and I don't need that level of SEO in my life. Besides, it wants me to create an account with them and considering how pissed off I've become lately at every retarded website asking me to register and ID myself it's obvious that I will disregard RM in an instant )

Ah that makes sense. I'm just looking for a plugin that I can manage my Meta Titles & Descriptions with and that can give me some content writing guidelines like Yoast & RankMath does. Does it have the same amount of options as RankMath?
