Why Check Readability and SEO Together?

Most writers already know this pain:

  • Grammarly → grammar + readability only.
  • Yoast → SEO checks only.
  • Hemingway → readability only.

But none of them give you both readability + SEO scoring in a single workflow.

That means double work, double subscriptions, and sometimes conflicting recommendations.

👉 In 2025, content creators need one tool that can check reader clarity and search performance together.
That’s why we built WordCount AI.

Quick Answer: Use WordCount AI

  • Readability check: grade level, reading time, longest sentence
  • SEO score: keyword density, structure, semantic coverage
  • One report card: simple A–F grade with actionable tips
  • Freemium model: free unlimited grading, optional upgrades for reports/exports

🚀 Try it now: Check readability & SEO score in one click.

Why Both Metrics Matter

  • Readability = human experience
    If your content is hard to read, people bounce. That sends negative signals to search engines.

  • SEO = discoverability
    Even the clearest content won’t perform if it ignores keywords, headings, or density.

Together, they’re the two sides of ranking:

  • Readable → keeps people engaged.
  • Optimized → helps people find it.

Use Cases: Who Benefits Most?

Alternative Approaches (and Why They Fail)

  • Grammarly + Yoast (together) → Two tools, two workflows, and partial overlap.
  • Hemingway + SurferSEO → Expensive and fragmented.
  • Manual checks → Time-consuming, easy to miss errors.

👉 WordCount AI simplifies this: one analysis, one grade, freemium model.

Conversion Corner: Put It Into Your Workflow

  • Write your draft.
  • Run one pass with Grammarly (optional) for grammar.
  • Run one pass with WordCount AI for readability + SEO.
  • Apply fixes, re-grade, and publish.

Upgrade if you need exports, saved history, or higher limits.

Conclusion: One Tool, Two Jobs

Writers don’t need more tabs, more subscriptions, or more wasted time.
They need clarity + SEO in one view.

That’s why WordCount AI is the best choice in 2025.
