Why is sentence length so important for readability and SEO?

How can you write the best and most effective sentences to keep searchers reading?

Why is sentence length important?

Sentence length and readability are vital for SEO because they have a direct impact on time on page.

Google loves showing content which is of high quality and which is concise and easy to understand.

Searchers are goal-oriented and want to find the answer to their question as efficiently as possible. If your sentences are long and rambling, they’ll soon exit and look elsewhere.

This will affect your bounce rate, pushing the brilliant content you worked hard on further down on a SERP. Of course, this means it’s harder to find you next time.

On the other hand, if you aid their mental filter by being straightforward in your content, you’ll help them reach their goal.

So, help your user out. Short and concise sentences perform the best.
