Word Count & SEO
While Google has stated there is no ideal word count for ranking, comprehensive content tends to rank better because it covers a topic more thoroughly. For competitive keywords, top-ranking pages often have 1,500–3,000 words. For local or simpler queries, 500–800 words may be sufficient.
More important than raw word count is content quality, readability, and how well it satisfies search intent. Aim for a Flesch score of 60–70 for most web content — easy enough to skim, but authoritative enough to trust.
