Substantial body text
One of 40 checks the scanner runs. This one is worth 5 points inside the Content Depth dimension, which carries 11% of the total score.
What does this check look at?
Visible text, after removing script, style and comment content, contains at least 800 word tokens. 300-799 is a partial pass.
How do I fix it?
- Partial pass: Generative engines favour sources that cover a topic fully. Aim for 800+ words on pages you want cited.
- Expand to at least 800 words of specific, non-repetitive content.
Why is it worth 5 points?
Points are relative weights inside a dimension, and a dimension's weight decides how much of the total it can move. The reasoning for this dimension's weight is published rather than asserted:
| Dimension | Content Depth — 11% of the total score |
| Points for this check | 5 of 11 in this dimension |
| Worth at most | 5.0 of the 100 points |
High, because depth is a precondition for retrieval rather than a bonus on top of it.
What else is measured in this dimension?
- Content is divided into sections — 3 points
- Lists and tables are present — 3 points
How do I see my own result?
Run a scan on your own domain. The report lists every failed check with the evidence that produced it, so you can tell a real failure from a check that does not apply.
