    Default How important is Flesch reading for your content?

    Just wondering how much do you look at the Flesch reading score if at all?
    Of course that is by no means the main thing that you should aim for when creating content, but would you revamp a piece of content if it gets a low Flesch score?

    Never really paid any attention to it. it's something SEO tools used to push like many other myths so that you buy their product

    I was obsessed at first. So much so that I would chop up fairly decent texts, leaving them soulless, as if written by a robot, just to boost my score to a point I deemed acceptable.

    I think the main cause was my own insecurities when it comes to writing in English. Now I'm much more relaxed. Of course, if I get a shockingly low score, I double-check the text, but it's not a determining factor in publishing like before.

    I used to obsess over the Flesch reading score, and made a big deal out of getting over 80, but I noticed it's much more important to have good content that sounds like it was written by humans and for humans. Also, remember that the Flesch reading score is just one measure of readability and shouldn't be the sole factor guiding your content. Other factors like clarity, tone, and organization also play a significant role in how well your writing is understood.

    I've tested Surferseo tool and like the way it encourages longer content.
