ASO Keyword Density & Frequency Analyzer
Analyze your App Store or Google Play description text in real time. Measures total word count, single keyword & 2-gram phrase frequency, density percentages (ideal 1.5–3.0%), and flags keyword stuffing risks before submission.
What is the ideal keyword density for App Store and Google Play descriptions?
The ideal keyword density for an app description is between 1.5% and 3.0% per target term. Repeating a keyword 3 to 5 times across a 2,000–3,000 character description provides sufficient frequency for Google Play indexing algorithms without triggering spam filters or keyword stuffing penalties.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q:Why is keyword density important for Google Play Store ASO?
Unlike Apple's App Store (which relies on a dedicated 100-character keyword field), Google Play indexes the full 4,000-character app description. Keyword density directly influences search relevance on Android.
Q:Does Apple App Store index words from the app description?
Apple App Store Connect does not index the long description for standard keyword search ranking. However, user readability and web SEO indexing (Google Search) depend heavily on a clean description structure.
Q:What happens if my keyword density is too high (>4%)?
Excessive repetition triggers keyword stuffing algorithms, causing your app to be demoted in search results or rejected during App Store Connect / Play Console review.
