What the Keyword Prominence Checker does
See how early and how visibly your target phrase shows up in the text you provide. This helps you see whether the topic is introduced clearly near the beginning of a draft.
The guidance here covers why an early mention of the topic helps readers orient and how to judge whether yours is too buried.
Why the Keyword Prominence Checker is useful
Readers benefit from knowing what a page is about without searching through several paragraphs. Checking prominence can expose an introduction that takes too long to reach the point.
Early-mention review is most useful on a near-final draft, when the opening lines can still be adjusted.
