My suggestion is to use 3% keyword in 500 words content.

3% or 4% of keyword using in 500 words content is good.

This is what is known as keyword density. It is the ratio of the number of times a keyword is repeated to the number of words for the article. It should be calculated and kept in between 2 to 3 percent to get the maximum benefit.

My suggestion is to use 3% density in your content is enough and try to balance your keyword on your whole page top to end of the page.

I would say 3% of keyword using in 450 words for website content is best.

Yes, I should have my keyword that I'm targeting, if I know that I'm going after this keyword, this search intent, that's what the page is about, that's the primary keyword target, I should target it at least once in the title element of the page.
Likewise, you should do the same thing in the headline. This is not because the H1 tag is all that important. It doesn't even matter all that much whether it's H1 or H2 or H3, or if your CSS is a little messy, that's okay. As long as the big letters at the top of the page that make up the headline, so that when a searcher lands after clicking, "Are skeleton keys real?" and seeing your, "Are Skeleton Keys Real?" article, they again see right at the top of the page, "Are Skeleton Keys Real?"


So they know they clicked on the right result and they have that consistency. People really like that. That's very important from a psychological perspective, and you need that so that people don't click back and choose a different result because they're like, "Wait a minute, this article is not the one that I thought I clicked on. This is something else."


I'm going to say two to three times in content. That is a very rough rule. Generally speaking, if you don't have the keyword at least a couple of times in the content of the page, unless you have an extremely visual page or an interactive page with almost no content, which maybe that would fall in the 5%, you should definitely be hitting that.


Then one time in the meta description. Meta description is important because of the snippet aspect of it. Not that critical from like, "Oh, that will boost my ranking." No, but it might boost your click-through rate. It might make you appear more relevant to the searcher as they're searching through, and it will help target that.


Again, sometimes in that 5% there, there might be times when a snippet is actually better without the keyword. Again, especially if it's a long keyword phrase and you only have a little bit of room to explain things, okay.


So 95% of pages should do at least this.

Maintain 3% of ratio of keyword density on 500 words content is quite useful.
