How do you decide article length for SEO now?

imo word count is just a product of the proper discusion on the topic. I usually see what is ranking and try to fill some gap while writing enough to addres the search intent.

Around 1000 to 1500 words is enough for many topics. If the subject needs more detail, then making it longer makes sense.
 
I have stopped focusing on a fixed word count. I first look at the current search results identify what other articles are missing and then build something more helpful. The final length simply depends on how much information the topic actually needs.

to be vry honest i am not trying to adhere for any specific word limit anymore. If the question is answered in 700 words then i will not change that. However if the same question requires 3,000 words then it is okay with me too.
 
I don't think word count should be the target.If the topic is covered properly in 1,000 words there's no need to stretch it to 3,000
 
I don't target a fixed word count write until the topic is fully covered without adding filler sometimes that's 1,000 words sometimes 3,000+. Search intent and content quality matter more than hitting a specific length.
 
You should really see what competitors use for content as lenght and how peoples react to content if they bounce the views or not that is an important metrics
 
I don't really aim for a certain word count I just try to cover the topic properly and stop when there's nothing useful left to add
 
1000+ words can also give best results if quality is good. Otherwise most of the time longer content
