Character counter - Count characters & words online

The SEO Word Counter tool counts characters and words in real time as you type your text. It captures every character, including spaces and special characters, and recognizes words based on spaces and punctuation. The count updates automatically so you can see the exact length of your text at all times - perfect for SEO optimization, meta data and content creation.

The number of characters is crucial for SEO, as search engines such as Google recommend an optimal length for meta titles and meta descriptions. Text that is too long will be cut off, while content that is too short will not provide enough information. By counting the characters precisely, you can ensure that your meta data is the right length to maximize the click-through rate(CTR) and achieve better rankings.

Words are recognized by spaces and punctuation marks. In rare cases, there may be minimal deviations depending on how certain characters are interpreted. However, for SEO optimization and content creation, the tool provides a precise and reliable count.
