Keyword density is the number of specific keywords appear on a webpage into the total words of content. Keyword proximity refers to the search terms of individual keywords or how close the keyword is about the content.

The keyword proximity refers to the distance between the search term's keywords.
For example, a website contains the keywords that make up the “Detroit Corporate Photographer” search term in the sentence “Detroit Photographer Blake Discher specializes in corporate photography”.

Keyword density and proximity are crucial factors in SEO. Keyword density refers to the percentage of times a target keyword appears within a piece of content. While it's important to incorporate keywords naturally, excessive repetition can lead to keyword stuffing, negatively impacting rankings.

Proximity, on the other hand, focuses on the closeness of words in a phrase or sentence. Search engines favor content where keywords are in close proximity, enhancing context and relevance. Balancing keyword density with natural, readable content and ensuring proximity helps create well-optimized content that aligns with search engine algorithms for improved visibility and rankings.
