Optimizing Content for Readability
Does readability score affect SEO? ▾
Directly? No. Google doesn't rank you just because you have a score of 70. However, readability impacts Dwell Time and Bounce Rate. If users can't understand your content easily, they leave. This signals to Google that your page isn't helpful.
