What Flesch score should you target?
Most consumer marketing copy should land between 60-80 (Plain English to easy). B2B can go to 50-60 (fairly difficult). Below 30 you are writing for academics. Lower scores filter your audience whether you intend to or not.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is the Flesch score perfect?
No. It measures sentence length and syllable density, not actual clarity. A short, jargon-loaded sentence scores well but reads poorly to non-experts. Use Flesch as one input, not the whole story.
