Word count - SEO prompt template

Table prompt

Count the total words in page content to help identify thin content that needs expansion or overly long content that should be split or condensed.

What this solves

Content length matters for different content types, but manually counting words across hundreds of pages is tedious. You need to quickly identify thin pages that need expansion and overly long pages that should be restructured.

The prompt

Count the total words in this page content.

Page Content: {content_markdown}

Return:
- Exact word count
- Status assessment based on content type:
  - "Too short" if under 300 words
  - "Appropriate" if 300-3000 words
  - "Too long" if over 3000 words

Format: [count] words - [status]

How to use it

  1. Copy and paste the prompt into ChatGPT (or your favorite LLM)
  2. Replace the curly brackets with your relevant page context
  3. Hit run
  4. Repeat for every page
  5. OR run across multiple pages at once with MetaMonster

Expected output

Exact word count with context about whether the length is appropriate for the content type. Helps you filter pages that are too short (<300 words) or too long (>3000 words) for their purpose.

This prompt provides quick word count analysis to help you identify content length issues across your site. Instead of manually counting words, you get instant assessment of whether content meets length expectations.

The analysis helps you spot thin content that needs expansion and overly long content that might benefit from being split into multiple focused pages.
