Focus Keyword Brightspot displays an analysis of the keyword in the Focus Keyword Density field.
Focus Keyword Density Indicates the number of times the Title and Description fields contain the Focus Keyword as a percentage. For example—
  • The focus word is content.
  • There are 50 words in the Title and Description fields combined.
  • content appears only once in both fields.

In this scenario, the focus keyword density is (1 ÷ 50) × 100 = 2.00.
As a best practice, use a focus keyword in your Title and Description fields that have a density of 3.00 or greater.
