Verify Every Material Claim
Check statistics, quotes, product features, and prices against original sources. Delete anything you cannot substantiate.
Add Firsthand Substance
Use actual observations, screenshots you own, or documented workflows where available. Do not manufacture experience.
Edit For Reader Value
Remove repetition, answer the query early, and make instructions actionable.
Final Technical Pass
Check headings, links, accessibility, metadata, canonical URL, and mobile readability.
Verify Facts Before Polishing Prose
Check names, numbers, dates, quotations, product features, and any advice that could affect a reader's money or safety. Follow citations to their original source where possible. Remove claims that cannot be supported. A fluent paragraph can still be wrong, and a source link does not automatically support the sentence beside it.
Review The Page As A Reader
Check whether the answer appears early, instructions are actionable, headings describe their sections, and examples are specific. Confirm that comparisons use consistent criteria and disclosures are visible. Test navigation, links, mobile reading, and the next useful resource. Only then refine the title and snippet.
A Practical Review Checklist
Before acting on this guide, write down the reader's specific goal, the evidence available, and what remains unknown. Check any changing product capabilities or subscription terms against the vendor's current documentation. For a real publishing assignment, keep the brief and source list alongside the draft, mark statements that need verification, and have an editor assess whether the result solves the original problem. Document the revisions that were needed, including factual corrections, missing context, and formatting fixes. If the same question is already answered elsewhere on the site, improve that article instead of publishing a near-duplicate. These checks help distinguish a useful workflow from an attractive first draft; they do not predict search rankings or sales.
Put This Into Practice
Try applying the guidance in “AI Content Quality Checklist Before Publishing” to one existing article rather than an entire site. Write down the reader's question and your starting condition, then make one controlled change: improve the brief, revise the structure, verify a claim, or adjust the publishing workflow. Review the result as an editor would, checking accuracy, usefulness, formatting, and links. Keep a short record of what changed and what still needs work. If the experiment reveals a different reader question, decide whether an existing guide can answer it before creating another URL. This keeps the publication focused on useful outcomes instead of article volume.
