Should the seo friendly article be long?

[cemsid]

Hello. Semrush tells me that the Article should be 300 words. I think it analyzes this based on my top 10 competitors in google ranking. Do you think I should write an article as long as semrush says? I usually write articles with 1000+ words.

Article length is important in SEO.

the more content the better, SEO-wise, but your poor visitors will dread coming back to your site if they search for something like "the best office mouse" and you start your article with meaningless shit like

What Is a Mouse
When Have Mice Been Invented
Why Are Mice Great For Computers
...
...
etc.

I mean, I would (and often do) close the entire browser instantly had I landed on such a page, and then I'd throw my computer out of the window and go play with my dog.

But google likes long articles, so you'll have to decide on your own which length you're going with

Almost all articles rank for multiple search queries
Long-form content is only going to make things easier

well semrush is suggesting 300 words article, it means your targeted keywords have less competition but remember always look in google first 10 results, check those websites one by one and count their article words and let me tell you that keywords competition if today is low less then 10, it will increase with time so better to write good seo article of minimum 1000 words and maimum 5000 words so it ranks well and can't be derank easily in future.

Thanks to everyone who commented

if it is less than 500 words it will be considered as low-quality content, yours 1000 + words are so good article, keep the same

It's mostly regarding the keywords you target. Few articles need 1000+ words and few articles 500+ itself enough. Even one of the article in the "People who ask" section but the length is even 600 words. Target right keywords so you can move it easily.

Look at the length of your competitors' articles and add a few more words, this will help you rank more easily.
