    Hello, the keyword density has been flagged “Red” because it’s used 9 times on this page, however the word is actually a product name. Therefore, the product name needs to be written more times than the maximum of 5 in the plugin. How do we overcome this? It’s preventing us from getting to Orange or Green.

    Hello Anita,

    Thanks for reaching out regarding the keyword density score.

    We understand that sometimes it’s tempting to attempt to get all green lights on the SEO analysis. However, these are general guidelines, not strict rules that will hurt your ranking. If you feel your page is properly formatted and has a good user experience, as is the case with your use of the product names, then these warnings can be safely ignored and you should not sacrifice user experience to get the green bullet. You can read more about this on this article on our website: https://yoast.com/want-green-bullet-wp-seo/

    I did mention that it won’t turn Orange either. This is for a client site and they need to know why their page will not turn Orange either. I think that flag is a bad user experience. It will make someone want to force something when forcing should not be done. Just my opinion but it’s hurtful for the product.

    While it’s hard for us to advise more without looking at your content and particular setup, however, assuming everything in order if you feel your page is properly formatted and has a good user experience, as is the case with your use of the product names, then these warnings can be safely ignored.

    We are going ahead and marking this issue as resolved due to inactivity. If you require any further assistance please create a new issue.
