What is Keyword Density?

Keyword density is how often role-relevant terms appear in your resume relative to the overall text. Too few, and you get filtered out; too many (keyword stuffing), and you look spammy to humans.

Examples

• A "Product Manager" job post mentioning "roadmap" eight times.
• A data role requiring SQL, Python, and dbt as repeat keywords.
• A resume using both "machine learning" and "ML" to hit variants.

Why this matters

ResumeWin compares your keyword coverage against the actual job description and flags the terms you're missing.
