Our analyzer processes your text by: 1) Removing punctuation and special characters, 2) Converting all text to lowercase, 3) Counting occurrences of each word, 4) Calculating density percentages, and 5) Sorting words by frequency to show you the most used terms in your content.

For most SEO purposes, aim for 1-2% density for primary keywords and 0.5-1% for secondary keywords. However, focus more on natural language and user experience than strict percentages. Google's algorithms prioritize quality content over keyword density metrics.
