How long should a web page be?
Long enough to fully answer the question, and no longer. A service page in Nepal usually needs 600–1,200 words to explain what you do, who it's for, the price, the process and common questions. In-depth guides that compete nationally are often 1,500–2,500 words. Padding a page with filler to hit a word count doesn't help rankings.
Readability matters more. Short sentences (under about 20 words on average) and plain English keep people reading on a phone. Aim for a reading-ease score above 60 for most business pages.
| Reading ease | What it means |
|---|---|
| 70+ | Easy: most people read it comfortably on a phone |
| 60–70 | Plain English: right for most business pages |
| 50–60 | Fairly difficult: fine for technical or B2B readers |
| Below 50 | Hard work: shorten sentences and swap long words |
Writing for search
Once the length is right, check your keyword use with the keyword density checker and your title and description in the SERP preview.
Questions about this tool
Does the word counter work in Nepali?
Yes. Nepali words in Devanagari are counted, and sentences ending in '।' are detected. The readability score only works for English.
How is reading time calculated?
At about 200 words a minute for reading and 130 words a minute for speaking, which suits presentations, videos and voice-overs.
Why do characters with spaces matter?
Most limits, such as meta descriptions, SMS and ad text, count every character including spaces.
Is my text saved?
No. Everything is counted in your browser and nothing is sent anywhere.
