It is unclear whether readability is an explicit ranking factor. Therefore we don’t know whether Google uses the Flesch score as a ranking factor in its algorithm to Rank the page. Either way, from a holistic SEO perspective, readability is very important. A Holistic Approach to SEO thus means you focus on it all:

If your text is too difficult to read for your audience. This might scare off your audience and make them search for information elsewhere. A difficult text will result in a high bounce rate and this will lead to the lower ranking in the long run. So, you should definitely make sure your texts are well written and not too difficult.

According to Wikipedia ” Readability is the ease with which a reader can understand a written text. The readability of text depends on its Content and Typography (font size, line height, and line length).

  2. A paragraph contains one core sentence and an elaboration of this core sentence.
  3. A paragraph should be made visible (by using white space).
  4. The length of a paragraph is decided by the theme you are discussing. It could be two sentences, but a paragraph could also contain 15 sentences. For writing on websites, we would advise creating short paragraphs (stick to less than 6 or 7 sentences).
