# Substantial body text

How the Substantial body text check works, what a failure means, and how to fix it in the Content Depth dimension.

- Dimension: Content Depth (11% of the total score)
- This check: 5 points
- Check id: `word-count`

## 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** — 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?

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](https://geo-scanner.ccie13192.com/checks/sections/) — 3 points
- [Lists and tables are present](https://geo-scanner.ccie13192.com/checks/extractables/) — 3 points
