How Long Should a Blog Post Be? Blog Length Best Practices

Summary

The episode explores how blog post length impacts SEO, noting that top‑ranking articles typically range from 1,400 to 2,500 words but shorter 600‑800 word posts can also succeed if they deliver value. It advises writers to choose substantial topics, provide original insights, use strategic keywords and proper heading structure, break up text, add alt text and links, and always write from the reader’s perspective.
