• Develop content that demonstrates Experience, Expertise, Authoritativeness, and Trustworthiness (E-E-A-T)
• Follow an established style guide and compliance ruleset
• Deliver drafts with title tags, meta descriptions, internal link recommendations, and schema flags
• Stay current on how Google and AI search engines select, extract, and cite content
• Maintain a consistent brand voice while translating complex topics into clear, customer-friendly language.
• Ensure content is accurate, original, well-researched, and factually supported.
• Use AI tools responsibly to improve efficiency while maintaining originality and editorial quality.
