Question keywords and keyword density - how to make it work?

Non-question keywords such as 'best google SEO mastermind' can be used multiple times in an article easily. But question keywords such as 'who is the best google SEO mastermind?' cannot be. You can have this as the title and maybe find a sneaky way of inserting it in the article body once. But that's it. In a 2000-word article having your main KW only once doesn't do any good.

How do you guys make it work?
 
Google will pick up the difference in situations like these. Like you said in the post, having your H1 heading "who is the best google SEO mastermind?" and answering the question while using keywords like "best google SEO mastermind" will give Google a good idea of what you're answering. If you look at a lot of questions, the top-ranking sites won't even mention the question word for word in their article.
 
you don't write 2000 words articles for such long tail keywords. You write 50-100 words sentences / paragraphs on this question alone, then find several more questions related to SEO masterminds, write 50-100 words for those, too, then group all of these mini-articles together into 1 larger article of whatever length it turns out to be and call it a topically relevant article that google will love and rank (which they will).

And if there aren't many "SEO mastermind" question-type of keywords that can be grouped together than you insert this keyword as a LSI term / long tail keyword into an article that's about SEO and which is somehow relevant to SEO masterminds, under a H2 / H3 tag (whichever makes more sense hierarchically) and you call that thing an article, as well
 
Tagging along on Tazar's post -- you can use sites like Semrush or whatever else to help with similar keywords / phrases.
 
maybe you're overthinking it?

google doesn't need you to stuff your h1/title keywords into articles over and over, they know that whatever is in the h1/title tags is the most important keyword on the page.

put some extra keywords into the article that you hope you might be able to rank for, and put the most important keyword in h1/title.

keyword stuffing is frowned upon anyway, if you do it too much it could piss google off.
 
Focus on search intent instead of kw density
Especially, in the case of informational searches
