Tone/Grammar

Write like you’re talking to a good friend, and feel free to break rules.  Start sentences with “But” or “And”. Write a couple words and skip a line.  You’re not submitting an English paper. 

Here's an example of an article format The Best Local Insurance Agents & Brokers Near Me

Formatting

Please use bullet points & numbered lists as often as you can, and occasional bolding when it makes sense.  We also aim for pretty short paragraphs. Often after just 1-2 sentences, we’ll have a line break.

The goal is to create lots of white space and break up the text into manageable, bite-sized pieces readers see and instantly think, “that’s gonna be easy to read.”


Do not submit in read only format as adjustments, revisions or correction may be needed.

1. Keywords tied to the article topic, preferably long-tail keywords related to content.

2. Use Your Keywords in the Title and Subheadings H1, H2, H3, H4

4. SEO-friendly meta description and permalink.  Write Compelling Titles and Meta Descriptions

5. Optimize your images with image alt text.  Images must be royalty-free and Creative Commons images
