{# canonical_base is the OWNING tenant's origin: all 16 Peasy domains serve the same catalogue, so a page rendered by a non-owner points its canonical at the owner instead of competing with it. Falls back to this site for static/self-owned pages. #}

About Word Count & SEO Grade

Count words, sentences, and paragraphs in your content. Get an SEO content grade based on word count, reading time estimate, and see how your content length compares to recommended ranges for different content types.

How It Works

The tool strips HTML tags, counts words, sentences, and paragraphs, then calculates reading time (at 200 wpm). It assigns an SEO grade based on word count ranges and compares against ideal lengths for blog posts, landing pages, product pages, and more.

Step by Step

  1. 1 Paste your content (plain text or HTML)
  2. 2 View word count, character count, and reading time instantly
  3. 3 Check the SEO Content Grade for optimization suggestions
  4. 4 Compare your word count against target ranges for your content type

Tips

  • Blog posts perform best at 1,000-1,500 words for most topics
  • Landing pages should be 500-1,000 words for conversion
  • Pillar content and comprehensive guides should exceed 2,000 words
  • Quality matters more than quantity — don't pad content with filler

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the ideal word count for SEO?
It depends on content type. Blog posts: 1,000-1,500 words. Pillar content: 2,000-3,000. Product pages: 300-500. The best length is whatever fully covers the topic.
Does longer content rank better?
Not automatically. Longer content tends to be more comprehensive, which correlates with better rankings. But thin, padded content performs worse than concise, focused content.
