Content Guidelines

1. Tone & Voice

  • Professional and Approachable: All content should reflect a tone that is professional yet conversational. Aim to educate, inform, and engage readers without being overly formal or too casual.
  • Clear and Direct: Avoid jargon where possible, and always strive for clarity in communication. Content should be easy to understand for readers of all knowledge levels.

2. Content Structure

  • Headings and Subheadings: Use clear, descriptive headings and subheadings to structure the content for easy navigation. Each section should focus on a specific idea or topic.
  • Short Paragraphs: Break up large blocks of text into shorter paragraphs (3-4 sentences) to enhance readability.
  • Bullet Points & Lists: Use bullet points or numbered lists for key takeaways or step-by-step instructions.

  • Originality: Plagiarism is strictly prohibited. Always produce original content or properly attribute sourced materials.

4. SEO Best Practices

6. Visuals

  • Images & Graphics: Use high-quality images, infographics, or diagrams to support the text where relevant. Images should be clear, professional, and relevant to the topic.
  • Captions & Alt Text: Always include descriptive captions for images and ensure that alt text is used for SEO and accessibility.

7. Calls to Action (CTA)

  • Clear & Compelling: Every piece of content should end with a relevant CTA, whether it’s encouraging users to explore related articles, sign up for a newsletter, or take a specific action related to the business.

  • Citing Sources: Any statistics, studies, or quotes must be properly attributed to their original sources, using hyperlinks where appropriate.
