Real-time word, character and sentence counting with keyword density analysis. Know your numbers as you write.
Start typing to see keyword frequency...
Paste or type your content in the text area above — all counts update live as you type, with no button press needed. The word counter processes everything in your browser, so your content is never sent to a server or stored anywhere.
The Keyword Frequency panel highlights your most-used words, filtering out common stop words so only meaningful terms appear. This helps you spot over-repetition before it becomes a keyword stuffing issue, and identify which topics your writing naturally gravitates toward.
The SEO Checks panel runs live length checks against three key benchmarks: blog post minimum (1,500 words), meta description sweet spot (150-160 characters), and Twitter character limit (280 characters).
Word count is one of the most studied factors in SEO content strategy. Analyses of top-ranking pages consistently show that content ranking on page 1 for competitive keywords averages between 1,500 and 2,500 words. Longer content tends to cover a topic more thoroughly, earning more topical authority in Google's eyes.
That said, word count alone does not determine rankings. A 3,000-word post stuffed with filler will underperform a tight 1,200-word post that directly answers the search query. The goal is sufficient depth, not artificial padding.
For non-blog content, different limits apply. Meta descriptions should be 150-160 characters to avoid Google truncation. Twitter posts are capped at 280 characters. Knowing these limits as you write saves editing time and improves performance across every channel.
From bloggers to ad copywriters, this tool helps anyone who writes to a specific length target.
