Article Length Selection
Choose short, medium, or long articles and how Skribt adjusts structure and outline limits.
Choose your target word count based on topic complexity and publishing goals. Skribt optimizes structure and depth for each length.
| Length | Target words | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| Short | 600–800 words | Quick explainers, single-concept posts, news updates |
| Medium | 1,200–1,500 words | Standard blog posts, how-to guides, most SEO content |
| Long | 2,000–2,500 words | Comprehensive guides, pillar content, in-depth tutorials |
Structure limits by length
To keep articles focused and scannable, Skribt automatically limits outline complexity:
| Length | Max H2 sections | Max total headings |
|---|---|---|
| Short | 3 | 9 |
| Medium | 5 | 18 |
| Long | 6 | 25 |
How to select
In the brief editor, click the underlined word count (e.g., "1,300 words") to open a dropdown with all three options. Your selection applies to both outline generation and the final article.
