A common misconception is that writing more words helps you rank higher in Google. That’s not the case.
I have seen people when they write more words, their rankings suffered a major downfall.
Why? Because people hire affordable writers who tend to write more words for the sake of earning more money.
For this reason, their rankings suffer because adding more irrelevant words disturb the intent of the keyword.
For example, you want to rank an article on “How to Install Windows 10”. You write 80% about what Windows is and 20% about the steps about installing Windows 10. You’ll end up with poor rankings in SERPs.
In order to fulfill the intent of the keyword, the sites with lower word count might perform better — in most cases.
Conclusion: Always analyze the top competitors for the given keyword and adjust the word count accordingly.
