Start with customer language
Collect questions from conversations, support tickets, sales calls, and the search data you can access. Keep the original wording, then group the questions by the decision they help someone make. Tool suggestions can expand the list, but should not replace knowledge of the audience.
For an illustrative standing-desk business, “will it fit in my room?” and “how much clearance do I need?” can belong to one usable sizing guide. There is no need to publish a separate thin page for each phrasing.
Inspect the likely intent
Look at current results for representative terms. Note whether users encounter guides, products, comparisons, or local services. That helps test your assumptions about the page format. Results vary by context, so document where and when you looked.
Make a page assignment
| Question group | Page job | Evidence to include |
|---|---|---|
| How do I choose? | Decision guide | Criteria, tradeoffs, and worked examples |
| Will this item fit? | Product or sizing page | Measurements and compatibility details |
| Can someone provide the service? | Service page | Scope, coverage, and contact process |
Write a brief a reader would recognize
Specify the audience, question, answer, necessary evidence, and next useful step. Give the writer room to explain the topic naturally. A list of required keyword repetitions encourages awkward text without ensuring a useful answer.
Add a check for originality: what can this business explain or demonstrate that the reader cannot get from a generic summary? If there is no clear answer, improve the brief before expanding the publication calendar.
Review after publication
Use page-level queries to see which questions the page is reaching. Read customer feedback and check whether the planned next step works. Merge overlapping ideas when one page can answer them clearly, and create a distinct page only when its audience or task requires one.
