Analyze keyword density, readability, sentiment, and heading structure. Get actionable insights to optimize every piece of content for higher rankings.
Keyword analysis is the process of evaluating how well your content targets a specific search term. It goes beyond simply counting keyword mentions — modern analysis examines density, placement, readability, sentiment, and content structure to determine how likely a page is to rank.
Consider a blog post targeting “best project management tools.” Keyword analysis reveals whether the keyword appears in the title, headings, intro, and throughout the body at the right frequency. It also checks if the content is readable, if the tone matches search intent, and if headings are properly structured.
InstaRank's keyword analyzer provides all of this in a single dashboard. Enter your focus keyword, paste your content, and get a complete optimization report with specific, actionable recommendations.
