Using the word counter

Paste or type your text in the text field to count the number of words, characters, sentences and paragraphs. We recommend the following text lengths if you work with search engine optimization (SEO) and want to make your content visible on Google:

  • SEO text: 300-1,000 words depending on the competitive situation.
  • Title Tag: 45-65 characters.
  • Meta Description: 120-160 characters.

Each subpage on your website that you want to increase the visibility of in search results should contain a unique body text - in SEO terms often called a SEO text. In addition to the SEO text, the page must contain a Title Tag and a Meta Description. Read more about content optimization.

Recommended text lengths

 An SEO text is a long text written based on keywords and search phrases that your target audience uses when they search for your products in search engines. SEO text is essential for search engines to understand what your website is about and what searches it should appear on. The text should:

  • is written based on one or more keywords used by your target audience
  • Focus on a limited topic (for example, a product, product category or service)
  • Have a length of 300-1,000 words (depending on the competition situation)
  • contain the primary (most important) keyword approximately once per 50 words (possibly in different inflections)
  • include any secondary keywords one to five times
  • contain a headline (with an h1 tag) and one or more subheadings (with h2 tags)
  • include the primary keyword in the headline and a selection of subheadings
  • include internal links where relevant
  • Be meaningful and appealing to the reader
  • Be written in an error-free and free-flowing language.
