How these guides are built
Four rules, applied to every page in the set.
One head term per guide
A guide is written for a phrase a buyer actually searches, not for an internal label like Resources or Insights.
The whole cluster, linked
Every surviving article in the topic appears on its guide or on one of that guide’s sub-guides. Nothing is left to a tag page.
Two clicks, usually three
The main guides sit two clicks from the home page. The deepest articles in the largest clusters sit at three.
Written, not aggregated
Each section states a position and a reason. A page of links with headings is a thin page wearing a new name.
Where to go from here
