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.
Text Quantity tips:
- If the same content is being used in other websites, search
engines would recognize this as duplicate content. Search engines
will penalize your website for duplicate content. It is extremely
important that all content is original, relevant and quality.
- Search engines will also recognize spelling mistakes and typos
which will cause your website to rank low.
- Never hide text from the user in an attempt to reach the text
quantity quota. If text is visible to search engines only it is
considered spam. And may also result in the removal of your website
from search engine indexes
