A few days ago I came across a Hubspot blog that said that blogs around 2k words are SEO optimized. That said, I don't think the attention span of the audience is too high unless they are really interested in the content. In the end, it depends upon balancing between SEO optimized length and interests of the content consumers. Would love to know your feedback on this, since I am a beginner myself.
@p_soumya Long-form content does perform well SEO-wise. But of course, as a reader, 1200-1500 words would be my ideal go to blog. I think there should be a balanced structure. And interlinking between short form and long form content is the key.
3minutes. We have found the following works super well for an engaging blog:
1. Powerful intro hook: One should always start by telling the interesting part of the blog and why should the reader devote the next 3 minutes to the blog.
2. Should read like a story: We as humans connect to stories. A blog which reads like that performs well.
3. Crisp & active voice: Passive voice is hard to read
4. And proper backlinks and credits. Creators when credited tend to give you backlinks when they write their own pieces.
In my case - there are 2 perspectives.
As a reader - it really depends on the topic. If I'm interested it can be over 2k words. If I just want to extract useful information, I prefer shorter posts.
However, recently I started writing some short texts and I'm still not sure how long each article should be.
Great topic, cheers!
