Answer Density Analyzer
The Answer Density Analyzer measures the ratio of direct, valuable answers to supporting content in your pages. High answer density means readers and AI systems can quickly extract value, improving user satisfaction and AI citation likelihood.
This tool identifies answer blocks, definition patterns, summaries, and other high-value content segments, then calculates their proportion to total content. It shows which sections provide direct value and which may be unnecessarily verbose or tangential.
You'll receive specific examples of high-density and low-density sections from your content, along with rewrite suggestions to improve clarity and directness. This helps transform meandering content into focused, quotable material that performs better in both traditional and AI search.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is good answer density?
Good answer density is 40-60% for most content - meaning about half provides direct answers or key information. Technical content may be higher (60-70%), while narrative content can be lower (30-40%). The key is matching user intent.
Does high density mean short content?
Not necessarily. High-density content can be comprehensive but focuses on value delivery. Every paragraph should answer a question or provide essential information. Long-form content with high density performs best for SEO.
How does answer density affect AI selection?
AI systems prefer extracting from high-density sections because they provide clear, quotable information. Content with higher answer density is more likely to be cited in AI overviews and answer boxes.
How can I improve answer density?
Lead paragraphs with answers, use bullet points for multiple items, eliminate redundancy, replace vague statements with specific facts, and cut transitional fluff. Focus on what users need to know, not what's nice to include.
