How To Take Action
I would suggest focusing on finding a keyword balance in your content. Here’s a simple plan to do that effectively:
Set a Goal for Keyword Density: Aim for a 1% to 2% keyword density. This means for every 100 words, mention your keyword once or twice. This helps your material become more visible on search engines without feeling awkward to readers.
Avoid Keyword Overstuffing: Don’t force keywords into sentences where they don't naturally belong. Overstuffing makes your content less enjoyable and can even lead to penalties from search engines.
Evaluate Your Keyword Use Regularly: Look through your old content to see if it has too many or too few keywords. Update them so they have a natural flow and are more effective.
Content Revision: As you write, read your content out loud to check if your keywords fit smoothly and sound natural. This will help you naturally integrate them without overthinking.
Audience-Centered Keyword Selection: Consider what your audience is searching for. Use those keywords correctly to match their needs and improve your search engine ranking.
By keeping this balance, you make your content better for both your audience and search engines. Plus, it doesn’t take much time or money to adjust your keyword density, but it can greatly enhance your content's impact.
