Thin content

Thin pages give readers and search engines little to work with, and rarely satisfy search intent.

What it is

This check flags pages with very low word counts (for example under 250 words) and little substantive content.

Why it matters for SEO

Thin content typically fails to answer queries fully, so it ranks poorly and can drag down site quality signals.

Example

/services/x - 80 words of body text

How to fix

  1. Expand the page to genuinely cover the topic and user intent.
  2. Add examples, specifics, and supporting media.
  3. Merge near-empty pages into a stronger one.
  4. Re-crawl after improving depth.
