Editorial policy
How we research technical SEO topics, verify facts, disclose tooling—including AI drafting—and publish corrections.
Mission & audience
ClaudeSkill SEO publishes practitioner-focused guides on technical SEO, structured data, GEO, and product-adjacent workflows. Readers include engineers, growth leads, and senior SEO operators evaluating crawl architecture, rendering behavior, and measurable remediation—not hype cycles without reproducible checks.
Research & sourcing hierarchy
Authors prioritize primary documentation (for example Google Search Central guidance, HTTP specifications where relevant, browser or platform docs for rendering discussions) and observable signals you can reproduce (status codes, rendered DOM snapshots, Search Console coverage messaging patterns). Secondary commentary—blogs, conference decks, vendor collateral—is labeled as such and never substitutes for checking primary sources when the claim affects crawl, indexation, or schema eligibility.
Fact-checking workflow
- Outline gate: outlines cite intended sources before drafting begins on technical claims or policy-sensitive assertions (billing semantics, quota behavior).
- Product alignment: statements about ClaudeSkill SEO capabilities are verified against in-product UI copy, pricing/help docs, or engineering confirmation—not roadmap aspirations framed as shipping facts.
- Schema/content parity: FAQ-style structured data appears only when matching questions and answers are visible to users on the page.
- Reviewer pass: a second editor validates numerical claims (metrics bands, credit semantics) and removes overstated guarantees about rankings or rich-result eligibility.
AI-assisted drafting disclosure
Drafts may use AI writing assistance under editor control: humans select sources, revise assertions for accuracy, remove hallucinated citations, and align terminology with our published product surfaces. AI tools do not replace SME review on topics touching rendering, billing, or regulated-adjacent vertical guidance—those sections route through qualified reviewers listed on author profiles.
Corrections & updates
Material factual errors are corrected in-body with an updated publication note when the change affects methodology readers rely on (measurement definitions, schema constraints, product capability wording). Typos and clarifications that do not alter conclusions may ship silently. Report concerns to [email protected] with the URL and cited passage.
Independence & monetization
Editorial content explains ClaudeSkill SEO fairly alongside general SEO practice. Sponsored or affiliate placements are not woven into technical guides without explicit labeling (none are embedded today). Commerce surfaces (pricing, login) stay distinct from educational articles except where we illustrate realistic workflows.
