Ultimately, though, it\u2019s all about the reader, because what drives Google and other search engines is satisfying the readers\u2019 needs and wants. All other things being equal, happier users translates to higher search engine rankings.<\/p>\n<p class=\"graf graf--p\">How do you hit both of those goals in the same piece of content? And most of all, how can you do it reliably and consistently?<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"graf graf--h3\">Scannability: What Is It and Why Does It\u00a0Matter?<\/h2>\n<p class=\"graf graf--p\">We humans read differently when the text is digital. One <a class=\"markup--anchor markup--p-anchor\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nngroup.com\/articles\/how-users-read-on-the-web\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-href=\"https:\/\/www.nngroup.com\/articles\/how-users-read-on-the-web\/\">famous early-web study<\/a> conducted in 1997 concluded that only 16% of all digital users read each word of a page on the web. Over 75% scan digital text pieces.<\/p>\n<p class=\"graf graf--p\">Now, over twenty years later, subsequent <a class=\"markup--anchor markup--p-anchor\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nngroup.com\/articles\/how-people-read-online\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-href=\"https:\/\/www.nngroup.com\/articles\/how-people-read-online\/\">follow-up studies<\/a> have found that this behavior remains constant. We still scan. We still don\u2019t read every word. That\u2019s true across cultural and language differences, too.<\/p>\n<p class=\"graf graf--p\">Given that reality, digital marketing professionals and content marketing writers must create and publish content that readers want to consume\u200a\u2014\u200acontent that doesn\u2019t scare them off with an intimidating wall of text.<\/p>\n<p class=\"graf graf--p\">The way to meet that goal is to create scannable pieces.<\/p>\n<p class=\"graf graf--p\">Scannability simply means that the text and the information it conveys are both easily digested and understood without forcing readers to go line by line, word by word. It\u2019s about visually structuring the text so that it organizes key concepts and supporting info in a way the reader can grasp quickly with minimal effort.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"graf graf--h3\">Rankability: How Does Length Impact Search Engine\u00a0Rank?<\/h2>\n<p class=\"graf graf--p\">SEO experts and consultants have identified over 200 ranking factors that determine where a piece of content should rank in search results for a relevant keyword. While content length isn\u2019t in itself a ranking factor for SEO purposes, it is indirectly connected. On average, the top 10 results in Google results each have a word count of over 2,000 words.<\/p>\n<p class=\"graf graf--p\">And while we may not know specifically how or to what extent content length actually bears on rankings, there\u2019s enough evidence to suggest a close correlation.<\/p>\n<p class=\"graf graf--p\">All other things being equal, more in-depth content (which tends to be longer by its nature) creates a better <a class=\"markup--anchor markup--p-anchor\" href=\"https:\/\/www.clearvoice.com\/blog\/what-is-user-experience\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-href=\"https:\/\/www.clearvoice.com\/blog\/what-is-user-experience\/\">user experience (UX)<\/a> on the page, as measured by Google\u2019s RankBrain algorithm. In turn, that improved UX helps keep the reader on the page for a longer time, which then impacts the page\u2019s ranking for the keyword that took that user there.<\/p>\n<p class=\"graf graf--p\">Longer content also tends to earn more quality backlinks from other authoritative sites, which is an important ranking factor. In the same way, longer content also tends to get shared more often on social media by industry leaders and influencers, bringing more traffic to the piece.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"graf graf--h3\">Writing In-Depth Content That\u00a0Ranks<\/h2>\n<p class=\"graf graf--p\">It can be challenging to create <a class=\"markup--anchor markup--p-anchor\" href=\"https:\/\/www.clearvoice.com\/blog\/long-form-content\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-href=\"https:\/\/www.clearvoice.com\/blog\/long-form-content\/\">long-form content<\/a> if you\u2019ve been cranking out much shorter pieces. Thinking about target word counts can help you better structure your content as you work.<\/p>\n<p class=\"graf graf--p\">So as you begin to draft new content, think about a target word count range, but don\u2019t feel married to a specific word count. Each piece should be exactly as long as it needs to be, no more or less. In any case, it\u2019s often impossible to tell exactly how long a piece should be until you\u2019ve completed your outlining and research process.<\/p>\n<p class=\"graf graf--p\">Several factors will impact your content\u2019s ideal length.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"graf graf--h3\">Know the Type of Content You\u2019re\u00a0Creating<\/h2>\n<p class=\"graf graf--p\">To a large extent, the optimal word count range is dictated by the kind of post you\u2019re writing. For example, a how-to or tutorial piece should generally have a greater word count than a straightforward \u201cwhat is X?\u201d piece, as it usually takes less time to define something than to explain how to complete a process.<\/p>\n<p class=\"graf graf--p\">Even within those loose categories, however, there\u2019s a lot of leeway in optimal word counts. A how-to piece that explains how to sign up for Twitter isn\u2019t going to be nearly as long as a how-to piece describing how to change the oil in your car.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"graf graf--h3\">1. Start With an\u00a0Outline<\/h3>\n<p class=\"graf graf--p\">Many content writers struggle to hit the sweet spot between \u201cin-depth\u201d and \u201crambling.\u201d One helpful strategy is to start with a document to outline and collect notes from research on the topic, then create a separate document to transform that outline to prose-form.<\/p>\n<p class=\"graf graf--p\">Starting with an outline is always a good idea for content of any significant length, because it forces you to organize your thoughts in some logical way.<\/p>\n<p class=\"graf graf--p\">You may not always end up with the same structure in the finished piece, but you\u2019ll at least have a place to start from that organizes topics, subtopics, and supporting data in a useful way. Even if you don\u2019t know much about the subject of the piece, try creating an outline first, before you do any research. This process forces you to think about both what you already know and what you don\u2019t know yet. That helps you organize your research and focus your efforts more efficiently.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"graf graf--h3\">2. Fill In Gaps With\u00a0Research<\/h3>\n<p class=\"graf graf--p\">Once you have a starting outline, you can then fill in the gaps with research. Your outlining process should have raised questions or ideas that need support or clarification. Target your research efforts on those smaller, narrower points and expand your outline as you discover authoritative answers and sources.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"graf graf--h3\">3. Expand With Audience\u00a0Research<\/h3>\n<p class=\"graf graf--p\">To expand and flesh out your content, use social media and Q&amp;A sites to identify questions that your audience has about the topic.<\/p>\n<p class=\"graf graf--p\">To do this, use the \u201csearch\u201d feature on sites like Quora or Twitter to look for your primary keywords. You may also want to repeat the search using specific subheadings in your piece to narrow your focus.<\/p>\n<p class=\"graf graf--p\">Looking at the engagement statistics on each question or tweet can tell you how much attention that question is getting from other users. You can then add to the outline and expand existing sections to build out your piece.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"graf graf--h3\">How to Make Sure Your Content Is Scannable<\/h2>\n<p class=\"graf graf--p\">After you\u2019ve drafted your content, you can go back and layer in the kind of formatting and structure that improves scannability.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"graf graf--h3\">Formatting<\/h3>\n<p class=\"graf graf--p\">Using formatting options in a strategic and creative way helps readers grasp your major points and overall message while scanning over the text quickly. Proper formatting and structuring of your content also makes your site <a class=\"markup--anchor markup--p-anchor\" href=\"https:\/\/www.clearvoice.com\/blog\/accessibility-and-seo\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-href=\"https:\/\/www.clearvoice.com\/blog\/accessibility-and-seo\/\">more accessible and inclusive<\/a>. The major formatting options are:<\/p>\n<p class=\"graf graf--p\">Bold and italic: Use these sparingly to emphasize certain words or phrases. They\u2019re particularly helpful when you introduce a term of art (and then supply its definition) or want to stress a short string of text, such as a statistic or process.<\/p>\n<p class=\"graf graf--p\">Some experts recommend using bold text for stressing certain key terms or phrases, and italic for emphasizing a certain word or phrase. However, you can use them interchangeably. The key is to use them sparingly to avoid creating a cluttered, chaotic text look.<\/p>\n<p class=\"graf graf--p\">Bulleted and numbered lists: Use bulleted lists to introduce a group of similar items\u200a\u2014\u200aquestions, ingredients, equipment, qualifications, or anything else that can be grouped together for clearer meaning.<\/p>\n<p class=\"graf graf--p\">Use numbered lists if the items you\u2019re presenting really ought to be conveyed in a specific order, such as the recipe steps, or a list of educational requirements that must be pursued in a certain order.<\/p>\n<p class=\"graf graf--p\">White space: Large blocks of endlessly scrolling text create visual fatigue. Leave enough \u201cblank\u201d space round the text and between paragraphs to give a reader\u2019s eyes a break from processing type.<\/p>\n<p class=\"graf graf--p\">Highlighting: You can call attention to key passages or concepts through callout boxes. Alternatively, you can create a visual highlighting effect through HTML or inline CSS. If you\u2019re working on a page that utilizes HTML5, you can use the &lt;mark&gt; tag around the text you want to highlight. If your page isn\u2019t written in HTML5, explore other methods to <a class=\"markup--anchor markup--p-anchor\" href=\"http:\/\/www.coding-dude.com\/wp\/css\/highlight-text-css\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-href=\"http:\/\/www.coding-dude.com\/wp\/css\/highlight-text-css\/\">create the highlighter effect<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"graf graf--h3\">Structure and Organization<\/h3>\n<p class=\"graf graf--p\">You can also improve your post\u2019s scannability through the way you structure and organize the text with these three tactics:<\/p>\n<ol class=\"postList\">\n<li class=\"graf graf--li\">Use subheadings to organize your material with meaningful, keyword-rich labels.<\/li>\n<li class=\"graf graf--li\">Think about the most logical way to present your information for your targeted readers.<\/li>\n<li class=\"graf graf--li\">Most importantly, vary the length of your sentences and paragraphs to create more visual interest.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p class=\"graf graf--p\">Finally, consider adding a preview prior to publishing. Ask someone who hasn\u2019t seen the content yet to take a look at it from the perspective of a new user. That fresh outsider point of view will help identify the places where you can optimize your page\u2019s layout, formatting and structural organization.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"graf graf--h3\">Do What Works for\u00a0You<\/h2>\n<p class=\"graf graf--p\">This particular process helps you stay on topic and avoid wasting time researching tangents that won\u2019t add value to your content.<\/p>\n<p class=\"graf graf--p\">However, there are certainly plenty of other possible workflows that will help you achieve the goal of writing longer pieces that your audience still wants to read. You may prefer to start with a broader focus on research, then take notes and write your outline later, or you may find outlines unhelpful and skip straight from note-taking to drafting your piece.<\/p>\n<p class=\"graf graf--p\">Whatever process you choose, consider jotting down a target word count range for your piece at the top of the document so you can keep your eye on the goal as you work. Then you can format your draft to make sure readers can easily scan it.<\/p>\n<p class=\"graf graf--p\"><strong class=\"markup--strong markup--p-strong\"><em class=\"markup--em markup--p-em\">Thanks for reading!
