Word Frequency Counter

What the output looks like

For a 1,500-word marketing article with the minimum length set to 4:

If the term you expected to dominate is missing from the top rows, the draft may not be focused enough. If an accidental filler word appears near the top, it is a good candidate for editing.

Reading keyword density

Use density as a warning light, not as a hard SEO formula:

• Around 1-2% for a primary phrase is usually enough when the writing is natural.
• Secondary terms can be lower, especially when the topic is covered clearly.
• Exact-token density above 3% can feel repetitive if the term is forced into sentences.
• Search engines understand variants and context better than this simple counter, so review plurals, synonyms and related phrases manually.

Quality, intent and useful coverage matter more than repeating the same keyword.

Exact-token counting notes

• The counter is case-insensitive: Marketing and marketing are counted together.
• It does not remove stopwords, stem words or lemmatise variants.
• The minimum-length setting is the main filter for hiding short words such as a, to or of.
• Languages without spaces between words, such as Chinese, Japanese and Thai, may need pre-segmented text when you want true word-level counts.

Useful checks

• Editing for overuse. Spot repeated fillers such as “really”, “actually” or “maybe”.
• Content audits. Compare drafts in a spreadsheet to see which topics and terms dominate a group of pages.
• Academic writing. Confirm that key concepts recur across a chapter instead of vanishing after the introduction.
• SEO reviews. Check whether target terms, brand names and product names appear at a natural level.
