FAQ
What is a Flesch reading-ease score?
It's a 0–100 measure of how easy text is to read, based on sentence length and word complexity. Higher means easier. A score of 60–70 reads like plain conversational English; below 30 reads like a dense technical document.
Will a higher score hurt my SEO?
No. Easy-to-read copy and search optimization aren't in conflict. Plain language keeps buyers reading, which helps conversion, while you still place your keywords naturally. Use the Keyword Density Analyzer alongside this to balance both.
