❓ What does it mean?
❓ What does it mean?
Low content pages are web pages with very little textual or meaningful content, often just a few sentences, thin product descriptions, or almost no unique information.
These pages don’t provide enough value for users or search engines to understand their purpose, leading to poor rankings and sometimes being treated as “thin content” by Google.
🚨 Why is it important for SEO?
🚨 Why is this a problem for SEO?
Poor User Experience – Visitors don’t find helpful or detailed information.
Low Keyword Relevance – Search engines can’t identify the topic clearly.
High Bounce Rate – Users leave quickly due to lack of value.
Possible Penalties – Too many low-value pages can trigger Google’s Helpful Content System filters.
Wasted Crawl Budget – Search engines waste resources crawling low-quality pages instead of high-value ones.

✅ Best Practices to Fix
Expand Content – Add unique, useful, and keyword-rich text.
Combine Pages – Merge multiple thin pages into one stronger resource.

Add Supporting Media – Images, videos, FAQs, or infographics can improve perceived value.
Check User Intent – Ensure content aligns with what users are searching for.
