How long should a blog post be? There’s no magic number. The right length depends on your audience, purpose, and the questions you’re answering. Longer guides (1,500–3,000 words) often perform better in search by showing depth and earning links, but value density beats word count. Use audience segmentation, tight topic focus, content clusters, and ruthless editing to keep posts sharp. Balance cornerstone guides with supporting posts—and always deliver useful, reader-first answers that solve real problems.
