How these are written
The standard every post is held to.
Most agency blogs exist to fill a keyword quota, which is why they all say the same thing. Ours are held to four rules instead, and you can check any post against them.
- The answer comes firstThe direct answer sits in the opening forty words, then the article earns it. No history of the industry, no throat-clearing.
- Every number carries its methodA figure you cannot check is an opinion in a costume. Where a number comes from our own products or bills, we say so.
- At least one recommendation costs us moneyDo not build the agent at low volume. Buy Shopify. Skip the audit if you already know. Advice with nothing against our interest is advertising.
- Questions come from real searchesThe FAQ sections answer what people actually type, not what we wish they asked.
