## Word count

Passing looks like: Word count passes.

**Why it matters.** Pages with very little text give search engines almost nothing to rank and visitors little reason to stay. Google has no minimum word count, but a page meant to rank with under 300 words has usually left out what visitors came for.

**How to fix it.**

1. Add text that answers what a visitor came for; for a product, that is the details, sizing and delivery; for a service, what happens and what it costs.
2. Keep it in real HTML text, not inside images or loaded only by JavaScript.
