What is keyword density?

Keyword density is the percentage of times a target keyword appears in a piece of content relative to the total word count. A healthy range is typically 1-3%, though content quality and context matter far more than any specific ratio.

What are long-tail keywords?

Long-tail keywords are specific, longer search phrases (typically 3+ words) with lower search volume but higher purchase intent and less competition. Examples: 'free SEO audit tool for small business' vs 'SEO tool'.

What is keyword cannibalization?

Keyword cannibalization occurs when multiple pages on your site target the same keyword, causing them to compete against each other in search results. This dilutes authority and can prevent either page from ranking well.

How do I map keywords to pages?

Assign each target keyword to one specific page based on search intent. Informational queries go to blog posts, transactional queries to product/tool pages, navigational queries to your homepage or brand pages.
