What this tool checks

This tool scans a piece of content for a list of target keywords or phrases you supply, then reports how many times each one appears and shows the surrounding text for every hit. It doesn't crawl your site or know your URL structure — it works purely on the text and keyword list you paste in, which is what makes it fast and usable for any CMS.

The output is sorted by occurrence count, so phrases that appear most often — and are therefore the strongest internal-linking candidates — surface at the top. Each match includes 40 characters of context on either side, enough to judge whether the surrounding sentence is a natural place to drop a link.

When to use it

Run this during content audits, before publishing a new article, or when building out a pillar-page/cluster structure for SEO. Paste the draft or published page content into the Content box, and list the anchor-text candidates you want to link to other pages (product names, feature names, cornerstone article titles) in the Keywords box, one per line.

It's especially useful when you have a growing content library and want to systematically find where older or newer posts should cross-link, rather than relying on memory. Because it counts occurrences, it also flags over-optimization risk: a keyword appearing 15 times in one article is a sign you're stuffing it rather than linking naturally.

Example

Paste a blog post about API design into Content, and list "rate limiting", "REST API", "webhook" in Keywords. The tool returns each phrase with its count and a snippet like "...important when building a REST API that other teams..." — telling you exactly where in the text a link to your REST API guide would fit naturally.

Frequently asked questions

Does this tool crawl my website or know my URLs?

No. It only works on the text and keyword list you paste in — it has no knowledge of your site structure, so you decide which page each matched phrase should link to.

Why didn't a keyword I expected show up?

Matching is case-insensitive but exact-substring — if your keyword is "rate limit" but the content only says "rate-limiting" or "limits the rate", it won't match. Try a shorter, more common root phrase.

Is my content uploaded anywhere?

No. All matching happens client-side in your browser with JavaScript's RegExp engine — nothing is sent to a server.

How many occurrences is too many for one keyword?

There's no hard rule, but if a phrase appears far more than others in the same piece, treat it as a signal to diversify anchor text or check for keyword stuffing rather than adding more links for it.
