🔍 Keyword Density Best Practices for YouTube

Ideal density: 1–3% — for a 300-word description, your primary keyword should appear 3–9 times. Below 1% may be too infrequent; above 3% starts to look like spam.
First occurrence matters most — YouTube weights the first mention of a keyword more heavily. Make sure your primary keyword appears in the first two sentences.
Use natural variations — if your keyword is "Minecraft survival base," YouTube also indexes "Minecraft base," "survival build," and "Minecraft building." Natural variety is better than exact-match repetition.
Hashtags don't count toward density — keywords in #hashtags at the end of your description are indexed separately and don't affect text density calculations.
