    Word count sort of mattered in the late 1990s when I was doing SEO. If you had the correct keyword density then you’d rank well even if you’re 2-3 percent off you wouldn’t rank as well.

    Word count has really been a thing for over 10 years.

    If the agency is still talking about keywords and. It talking about entities I would find another agency.
