[juliaalan]

Keyword proximity is the distance between keywords, or more importantly, how close together the keywords are within a section of text.

It’s especially relevant with keyphrases containing multiple keywords — and if you’re following our advice and targeting long tail keywords, your phrases will have multiple words in them more often than not!

With a multi-word keyphrase, keyword proximity is how close together the words from that phrase appear in a given section of the page.

The goal really isn’t to have all of your keywords within a close proximity, but it definitely is something to consider. One common piece of advice you will find is that the closer your key phrase is together within a piece of content, the more relevant that page might be Googlebot for that particular keyword or key phrase.

Keyword proximity is often used as a ranking factor by search engines, in order to determine whether or not a piece of content is relevant to a particular search query.
