On-Page SEO Wiki Entry

Word Count

The total number of words on a page; not a direct ranking factor but a useful proxy.

Word count itself is not a ranking factor, but comprehensive content tends to cover more entities, answer more related questions and earn more backlinks. Optimal length depends on intent: transactional pages need brevity, informational queries reward depth. Comparing your content length against top-ranking pages provides a competitive baseline rather than a target.
