Tips & recommendations

Tips & recommendations

Pro tips to get the most out of this tool.

2–3 keyword mentions per 100 words

A healthy keyword density is around 1–2%. Much higher and you risk keyword stuffing; lower and the page may not rank for the term.

Aim for scannable paragraphs

Short paragraphs and subheadings keep readers on the page longer, improving dwell time — a ranking signal Google watches.

300 words minimum for most blog posts

Google favours comprehensive content. Use the counter to make sure your article is long enough to fully answer the query.

Watch reading time for scripts

A 60-second video is about 130 words of narration. Use speaking time to script with confidence.
