Text Quantity

Text quantity is the number of words appearing on your webpage. The minimum recommended number of words on your homepage is 250. But too much content can also be counterproductive, try to keep it as less than 1500 words per page.

Search engines first read your website's Site Title and Description, then search engines read your text. This is why it's so important to have original, relevant and quality content.

There are several ways to improve text quantity:

  • Add a footer to your site's pages which contains relevant content.
  • Continue to edit and add new content on a regular basis. Google and other search engines love fresh content.
  • Add more text to existing pages.
  • Add new Pages into your website to add further content: Create a Page such as testimonials, about, our story...

If you have too much text, consider removing the amount of text or the page itself.
