One of the content evaluations done is the counting of words and characters in a particular product attribute on the live site. This article outlines how Syndigo counts these words and characters. There are certain conditions that can cause counts to include or exclude elements.
Word Counts

HTML Tags
<b> </b> <h1> </h1>
Sometimes there may be html markup tags that may have been collected during the data collection process. These tags will not count against the word count as these technically are not visible to end users when rendered.
Special Characters
-~!@#$%^&*()_+=`{}[]|\:;<>,./?'
Special characters are generally not counted as a word if they appear by themselves. If they appear as a prefix or suffix to an existing word the special char is counted with that word
Special Characters Between Text
Mid-summer or year&round or year.Round
When special characters are within a string such as a hyphenated word, the special character splits that string and is counted as 2
Numbers (Digits)
100
Numbers count as a word
Sequence of Special Chars and Digits
