    It's the amount of times your targeted keywords are mention on your webpage

    Just make your page copy sound natural to a human audience and you will be just fine

    3-5% and no more otherwise Google will think you are keyword stuffing, but the person who said to write naturally is correct, Google is ont ehlookout for pages that read like they are not naturally written

    Keyword density is the percentage of the keyword
    keyword density = keyword/total word X 100%

    5% way too much, 2% with nice content will do the trick
