Keyword and Phrase Extractor
Pull the recurring words and phrases out of a text, with two- and three-word phrases.
About this tool
Finds the words and phrases a piece of text actually uses most, counting two- and three-word phrases alongside single words.
The phrases are the useful part. "Technical" and "SEO" counted separately tell you almost nothing; "technical SEO" appearing eleven times tells you what the page is about. Single-word counts are dominated by whatever the topic noun happens to be.
This describes your text. It cannot tell you what anyone searches for, how often, or whether any of it is worth ranking for — that needs search volume data, which this tool does not have and will not pretend to.
Common questions
Does this show search volume?
No. It counts what is in the text you pasted. Search volume needs data from a search engine, and any tool showing you a volume figure is either paying for that data or making it up.
Why do the phrases matter more than the words?
Because single-word counts are dominated by the topic noun and tell you what you already know. A repeated two- or three-word phrase is the thing the page is actually claiming to be about.
What density should I aim for?
None in particular. Keyword density has not been a meaningful target for well over a decade, and writing to hit a percentage produces text that reads badly, which costs you more than it gains.
Why are common words excluded?
Because "the" is always the most frequent word in English and knowing that helps nobody. They are still counted in the total, just not listed. Phrases keep their stop words, since "out of stock" needs them.
