    Billable hours come first

    Writing articles competes directly with client work.

SEO for professional services: FAQ

How do you handle facts and figures?

Every precise number in an article must have a source, and we don’t invent studies.

Can I control what it never says?

Yes. Your "never claim" list is part of the brand profile and enforced in every article.

Does it write in formal language?

The tone comes from your approved profile — formal, calm, friendly, whatever fits you.
