Blog post word count
Search articles are not automatically better at 3,000 words. Match depth to the question. Count so you know what you shipped, not so you hit a magic SEO number.
Useful ranges
Product update: 300–600. How-to with steps: 800–1,500. Definition page: as short as it stays accurate. If you are repeating the same tip three times to “look long,” cut. The Word Counter also estimates reading time at about 200 WPM.
Publish bar
One H1, scannable H2s, a working example, a next step. Length is a side effect. Paste the final markdown (strip code fences if they inflate the count) into the Word Counter.
Steps
- Decide the job of the post (update vs guide).
- Draft, then count words and reading time.
- Cut repeats until every section earns its place.
