Free SEO text checker and content analyzer

Great writing and great SEO content are not always the same thing. This SEO text checker bridges the gap: paste your draft and a target keyword, and it scores the text on the signals search engines actually evaluate — keyword density, keyword placement, word count, and readability — then layers AI suggestions on top so you know exactly what to fix.

How to check your text for SEO

  1. Enter your target keyword — the phrase you want the page to rank for.
  2. Paste your content into the editor (a full draft works better than a single paragraph).
  3. Run the analysis to see word count, keyword density, the Flesch readability score, and whether your keyword appears in the first 100 words.
  4. Apply the AI suggestions to fix thin sections, over-optimization, or hard-to-read sentences.

What the checker measures

  • Keyword density — how often your keyword appears relative to total words, so you avoid both under- and over-optimization.
  • Readability — a Flesch Reading Ease score that tells you whether your audience can comfortably read the text.
  • Word count — a quick thin-content check against the 300-word minimum.
  • Keyword placement — whether your primary term shows up early, where it carries the most weight.

Frequently asked questions

What does an SEO text checker do?
An SEO text checker analyzes a piece of writing the way a search engine would: it measures word count, keyword density, where your target keyword appears, and how readable the text is. The tool above also returns AI suggestions so you can fix thin content, over-optimization, and hard-to-read sentences before you publish.
What is a good keyword density for SEO?
There is no exact target, but most well-ranking pages keep their primary keyword density between roughly 0.5% and 2%. Below that the page may not signal its topic clearly; above it you risk keyword stuffing. Use the keyword naturally — once in the first 100 words, in a heading, and a few times through the body.
How long should SEO content be?
It depends on intent, but pages that rank for competitive informational queries usually run 1,000 words or more. The checker flags content under 300 words because thin pages rarely satisfy search intent. Match the depth of the pages already ranking for your keyword.
What is a good readability score?
The tool uses the Flesch Reading Ease score. A score of 60–70 (plain English, readable by most adults) is a safe target for web content. Long sentences and complex words lower the score, so break sentences up and prefer simple wording.
Why does keyword placement in the first 100 words matter?
Search engines weight early content more heavily when deciding what a page is about. Including your primary keyword within the first 100 words helps confirm relevance for that query. The checker shows whether your keyword appears early and prompts you to add it if it does not.
