Both Yoast and Rank Math have tools built in for measuring readability.
However, a lot of your efforts will come from your own insight.
To ensure your blog posts are readable, use some of these tactics.
- Images
- Bullet points
- Bolded text for key points (but don’t over-do it)
- Navigation tools such as “back to top buttons” or a table of contents
- Embedded videos
- Infographics
- Dark screen and light screen options
- Yoast plugin
Pro Tip: Use Hemingway
The Hemingway Editor (also called the Hemingway App) can be used as a web-based tool or a downloadable app for Macs and PCs.
An important part of SEO is readability.
Experts suggest writing most blog posts for readers at a grade level of 5 or 6.
While most people can read higher than this grade level, keeping your writing simple is better for both your readers and SEO.
Besides making your content more user-friendly and readable, the Hemingway App will also correct these issues:
- Overly complex sentences
- Confusing language
- Adverb overuse
- Passive voice
The web-based version of the app is free to use, and the desktop version costs $19.99.
