“keyword density, in general, is something I wouldn’t focus on. Search engines have kind of moved on from there.” John Mueller, Google 2014 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rk4qgQdp2UA ---> Check this video from Google https://www.hobo-web.co.uk/keyword-density-seo-myth/ If you want to check the optimization level for a keyword go **on-page-grader ** Despite what many SEO Tools would indicate, the short answer to this is, in my experience, there is no IDEAL %. There is no one-size-fits-all optimal ‘keyword density’ percentage anybody has ever demonstrated had direct positive ranking improvement in a public arena. I certainly do not believe there is a particular percent of keywords in words of text to get a page to number 1 in Google. While the key to success in many niches is often simple SEO, search engines are not that easy to fool in 2018. I write natural page copy which is always focused on the key phrases and related key phrases. I never calculate density in order to identify the best % – there are way too many other things to work on. I have looked at this, a long time ago. IN SUMMARY it's an outdated concept from the paleolithic era of search engines add your keyword to your title, headline and meta tags and that s all and please forget about it focus on a relevant task such as schemas, internal linking, site performance, link-building, amp and the most important focus on creating a good content/copy rather than focus on that. Even if you are not a blogger or publisher and you are a small business owner hire a good writer who can create the copy for your homepage that really converts (1500 words) and forget about keyword density That is how your content is going to look like **Main Keyword ** **Keyword Related --Service 1 ** Keyword Related --Service 2 **Keyword Related -- Services Areas ** Keyword Related -- FAQ Hope this info will help you Regards

I agree with Gaston. The most important thing to do is to plan and execute carefully. In my experience, failures are usually caused when insufficient time and care has gone into planning, executing, testing the migration. You'd also be wise to benchmark existing metrics and settings before pulling the plug. It'll streamline problem-solving should an issue arise. This post is also helpful - https://searchengineland.com/take-back-lost-links-220462. It explains how to reclaim lost links when it's not obvious why rankings have dropped. It's possible you've lost backlinks that pointed to previous versions of the site that haven't existed for years and this post provides a step-by-step technique for reclaiming them.
