      Moz on page grader - Text content is very important for modern SEO. In order to optimize your chances of ranking higher for the targeted keyword(s), we recommend using the targeted keyword(s) at least 4 times.

      Recommendation: Add at least 4 instances of the targeted keyword(s) to the document text of this page.

      Is there any preferred word count for the web page/blog? for example it is not good to add keyword 4 time in 200 words content.

      and We need to add exact keyword 4 times in the content?

        You shouldn`t take those numbers too serious although they are not really wrong... just see this info as a recommendation. There is a unwritten rule which recommends that the keyword density should be between 2 and 4 percent but you should focus on writing a good text in general.

        Of course you can keep in mind to use your keyword in a propriate way but what you do is: you write for humans not for machines...

        Its undeniable that your text wont rank for a keyword if you do not mention it (this might change in the future) but as I said: don`t focus too much on that.

        Write a good text (everybody has a different opinion about the definition "good" by the way) and review it... think of using your keyword so that your text will still be a good one...
