Content Audit Report
To improve rankings in search results, one way is to create quality content. We present this report so that you know the results of the content audit on the selected URL.
Overview
In this section, we display information regarding the number of single phrases from the selected page. You can see the results at the top left, just to the left of the table containing the results of your page content audit.
Keyword Frequency
This data shows how many keywords are used on your web page. Web owners need to pay attention to the keyword frequency value because it can affect keyword density. For content optimization, make sure not to use the same keywords excessively because they can be detected as spam by Google.
Keyword Density
Keyword density shows the total number of times a keyword appears in a piece of content. These keywords can be target keywords, secondary keywords, or LSIs used in the content.
According to SEO experts, the ideal keyword density is only about 1-2% of the total keywords in the content. If you use the keywords excessively, readers may leave your site and resulting in a high bounce rate. Your content can also be considered spam by Google and will lower your website rank.
To calculate keyword density, you can divide the keyword frequency by the total words in the article, then multiply by 100%. For example, an article uploaded on your website is 600 words long. In the article, the word “SEO” appears 12 times. Then the keyword density for the word "SEO" in the article is:
Keyword density = (keyword frequency / total words in the article) x 100%
\= (12 / 600) x 100%
\= 2%.
Readability Index
The readability index is a value that shows how easily your content is understood by readers. Based on the readability index data, you can estimate the right time to improve the content to make it easier to read. Readable content keeps users browsing your site longer.
On the other hand, if the page content presents information that is quite dense and difficult to understand, it can increase the bounce rate on your website. That's not a good thing for the website because it will lower the SEO quality assessment. Therefore, web owners must provide readable and targeted page content.
Factors that affect the readability index include sentence length, sentence structure, text structure, word use, and visual arrangement of content, as well as other supporting factors such as the use of clear descriptions, attractive headings, font size, and others.
