  • Pages may speak in expert level language.
  • Important terms may not appear at all.
  • Pages may be too short to establish relevance.

Add explicit content in your Information Center

  • Spell out the problems you solve.
  • Explain your process in plain language.
  • Write articles around the questions prospects ask first.
