Content Length Analyzer
Paste a draft to see its word count, paragraph count, and heading structure, compared against typical length ranges by content type.
How this compares to typical targets
These are common rules-of-thumb, not a ranking requirement. Google has repeatedly said there's no minimum word count for ranking, thin content gets penalized for being unhelpful, not for being short, and padding a genuinely simple topic to hit a target number usually hurts more than it helps.
Frequently asked questions
Does Google have a minimum word count for ranking?+
No, Google has said repeatedly there's no minimum. Thin content gets penalized for being unhelpful relative to what a searcher needs, not for being short; a 200-word page that fully answers the query can outrank a padded 2,000-word one.
So why do the length targets in this tool exist at all?+
They're common patterns, not requirements: a product page rarely needs 2,000 words, and a genuine comparison guide rarely fits in 300. Use them as a sanity check against obviously mismatched length, not a number to hit artificially.
How are headings detected?+
Markdown-style heading syntax (# through ######) at the start of a line. If your draft uses plain text without Markdown, the heading count will show as zero even if it has clear section breaks.
