Keyword Placement Checker
Check whether your keyword is placed in title, meta, URL, H1, first paragraph, and image ALT.
The Keyword Placement Checker verifies that your target keyword is present in the six locations Google looks at first: title, meta description, URL, H1, first 100 words, and image ALT.
What is the Keyword Placement Checker?
Ranking pages share a common pattern: the primary keyword shows up in the same six on-page locations. Missing one or two is fine. Missing four or more usually means Google cannot confidently match the page to the query. This tool checks all six in one click and gives you a placement score.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need the keyword in every location?
No — but missing four or more out of six is a strong signal of weak on-page targeting.
Is exact-match URL slug necessary?
Strongly preferred. Short, exact-match slugs convert better in social shares too.
How much weight does ALT carry?
Small but real — and it doubles as accessibility.
