Pages with little text

This report lists all pages that contain less than 500 words.

Why pages with little text can be problematic:

A text that is too short is problematic if the subject or the keyword of the page requires detailed and extensive information. If your competitors are offering better and more comprehensive content on the same topic, you're going to struggle to rank with short content.

However, it is not necessarily a problem to have pages with little text. If the pages are e.g. image galleries, landing pages, etc., it is perfectly fine to use very little text.

In addition, there are times when search engine users are in need of a quick and concise answer to a particular search query, and a long and lengthy text page is not the answer. In this case, long and detailed text may deter visitors.

How you should treat these pages:

Before you make any changes to the content of a page, you should first check whether the topic or target keyword of the page requires extensive content or not.

You can do this by analyzing the current top 10 search results. With the free TF*IDF tool provided by Seobility, you can easily check the number of words on these pages.

If you find that the content of your page is in fact too short, you can try to expand it.

Think about what kind of information your target audience needs in order to fulfil their search intent.

However, you'll want to avoid writing long texts that are just designed to boost SEO. Most importantly, your content should add value to your visitors.
