does word count targets still matter in seo, or is it a myth?

    got a proposal from an SEO consulatnt for a SaaS docs site, and a big part of it revolves around word count targets. it sounded convincing in the meeting, but afterwards I found forum posts calling it outdated. im not trying to bash anyone, I just want to know if this is still a sesnible priority in your experience. not looking for a fight, just honest experience from people whove tested it.

    wait what exactly did the consultant recommend about posting every single day?

    major search engines have publicly said for years that they ignore the meta keywords tag for ranking. it doesn't hurt, but it's watsed effort and shows competitors your target terms. hope that helps :)

    lol same thing happened to me keyword density is a leftover from early search engines :/ Use the words your readers use naturally, in titles and headings where they fit, and cover related subtopics. Forcing a percentage makes text worse.
