A Flesch Reading Ease score between 60 and 70 is ideal for web content. This means your text is easily understood by most adults. Scores above 70 are even simpler (great for broad audiences), while scores below 50 may be too complex for general readers.
Google prefers content that users can easily understand and engage with. Pages with better readability tend to have lower bounce rates and higher time-on-page, both of which are positive ranking signals. Clear writing also increases the chance of earning featured snippets.
Grade 7 to 9 is the sweet spot for general web audiences. This ensures your content is accessible to the widest possible readership without oversimplifying complex topics.
Restructure sentences to put the actor first. Instead of "The report was written by the team", write "The team wrote the report". This makes your writing more direct and engaging.
