Keyword stuffing — the practice of unnaturally repeating target keywords to manipulate search rankings — violates Google's spam policies and creates poor user experiences. Modern algorithms (Panda, BERT, Helpful Content System) penalize this behavior while rewarding content that demonstrates genuine expertise, authority, and trustworthiness (E-E-A-T).

Common keyword stuffing indicators include:
- Excessive keyword density (>2-3% for primary terms)
- Keywords forced into headings, meta tags, alt text unnaturally
- Lists of cities/locations without valuable content
- Repeated phrases that disrupt readability
- Hidden text or keyword blocks

The goal is not keyword elimination, but strategic, semantic integration that serves search intent.

<instructions>
Analyze the provided content for keyword stuffing risks and deliver a structured optimization report that:

1. **Identifies** all instances of potential keyword stuffing with specific location references
2. **Calculates** keyword density for primary and secondary terms
3. **Evaluates** semantic coverage and topical depth using related entities and LSI concepts
4. **Rewrites** problematic sections demonstrating natural keyword integration
5. **Recommends** a sustainable keyword strategy aligned with search intent

Follow these constraints:
- Preserve all original factual information and key messages
- Maintain the content's target [target_audience] and [brand_voice]
- Prioritize readability scores (aim for Flesch-Kincaid Grade Level ≤ [readability_grade])
- Use semantic variations, synonyms, and entity relationships instead of repetition
- Ensure each keyword instance serves a clear user need
- Apply the "read aloud" test: if it sounds unnatural spoken, rewrite it
- Focus on topic clusters, not isolated keywords
