Why this matters
Baidu's ranking algorithm favors proper keyword density (2%-5%) and semantic keyword placement in Chinese content for better relevancy and ranking.
Hypothetical standard operating procedure
Adapt this example to your site, access, tools, and change process. It is our suggested procedure, informed by the sources below.
- Analyze Chinese content for main keyword frequency aiming for 2%-5% density.
- Use TF-IDF tools to identify semantically related keywords for inclusion.
- Place primary keywords in title tags and H1 headings.
- Maintain content naturalness to avoid Baidu penalties.
Watch for
Excessive keyword stuffing over 8% leads to penalties, while too low density harms ranking.
Definition of done
Keywords appear naturally within titles, H1, and main content at recommended densities.
