Keyword Placement Checker

A keyword placement checker tests the key spots where a topic should be clear: title, URL, first paragraph, headings and alt text. It helps you make the topic obvious without repeating the keyword unnaturally.

It runs entirely in your browser. Nothing you paste or upload is sent to a server or stored.

How to read the result and act on it

The results show whether your main topic appears in the key positions: title, URL, first paragraph, headings and image alt text. Read each result as a clarity check, not a score to maximise. If the topic is missing from the title or the opening paragraph, rewrite them so a reader understands the subject straight away. If it only appears once in a long page, check that headings describe the sections in language people use. Where the phrase appears unnaturally, reword using synonyms or related terms. Confirm the URL and alt text match the topic without repetition. Finish by reading the page from the searcher's viewpoint and asking whether the first screen answers or promises what they came for.

Common mistakes to avoid

The chief mistake is forcing the exact keyword into every location. Repeating the same phrase in the title, every heading and every alt tag reads badly and offers no advantage. Another error is optimising for a keyword that does not match the page's content or intent, so no placement fixes it. Avoid hiding keywords in small text or invisible elements, which breaks search guidelines. Do not ignore variations: people use different wording for the same idea, and natural language covers them. Finally, do not rely only on the tool. Check that the page is helpful, accurate and well structured, since placement alone does not make weak content perform.

How many times should I use a keyword?

As many as is natural. Density targets are a myth; clear, topical writing matters more.

Where should the main keyword appear?

Naturally in the title, H1, first paragraph and at least one subheading, but do not force it.

Where should I put my primary keyword on a page?

Use it naturally in the title, H1, opening paragraph and where a subheading fits, and in the URL if it reads well. Then write for the reader and use related terms elsewhere.

Do exact-match keywords matter anymore?

Search engines understand synonyms and related phrasing, so exact repetition is not required. Using the main phrase clearly in key spots helps readers, but natural language and good coverage matter more.
