Page has sufficient word count

content_word_count

Checks that the page has a sufficient word count.

What does this rule check?

Content-heavy pages generally rank better because they provide more value and cover topics more thoroughly. The minimum recommended word count depends on page type: landing pages (300+), blog posts (800+), pillar content (2000+).

Why is this important?

Thin content is a negative ranking signal. Pages with very few words are often seen as low-quality by search engines and are less likely to rank for competitive keywords.

How to fix

Add more valuable, relevant content to the page. Focus on answering user questions thoroughly. Don't add filler text just to increase word count.

Examples

<body>
  <h1>Our Services</h1>
  <p>We offer great services. Contact us.</p>
  <!-- Only ~8 words of content -->
</body>

<body>
  <h1>Our Web Development Services</h1>
  <p>We specialize in building fast, accessible, and SEO-friendly web applications...</p>

  <!-- 500+ words of valuable content -->
