Editorial rules

  • Each money page must have a clear intent: software, tool, agency, SMB, feature, comparison, alternative or utility.
  • Comparison pages must include best-fit and avoid-if logic.
  • Affiliate disclosure must not hide limitations.
  • Old non-core pages are noindexed or excluded from the active sitemap.
  • Titles and descriptions should match search intent rather than chase every keyword.

Update priorities

GSC signal first

Pages that already earn impressions get rewritten before random new content.

Intent separation

Similar pages must be differentiated by buyer type and workflow.

Trust blocks

Money pages need methodology, pricing risk and skip logic.

FAQ

How are topics chosen?

Topics are chosen from GSC demand, competitor gaps and local SEO workflow coverage.

Can pages be corrected?

Yes. Use the contact page for correction requests or factual updates.

Editorial and affiliate note

BestToolScan compares local SEO software by workflow fit, reporting clarity, pricing friction, setup effort, and where a tool should be skipped. Larger feature lists do not automatically win.
