Quick guide
How to use this well.
01
For SEO articles
Aim for 800-2000 words for most blog posts. Match the depth your topic actually deserves, not what the algorithm rewards.
02
For social posts
LinkedIn rewards 200-400 word posts. Twitter/X cuts at 280 chars. Instagram captions perform best under 150 words.
03
For speeches
A natural speaking pace is ~130 words per minute. Use the speaking time metric to plan keynotes and presentations.
