> Write answer-first, specific, well-structured pages that are easy to quote.

## Make the answer easy to lift

Assistants quote passages that **directly answer a question**. Put the answer in the first one or two sentences under a heading phrased like the question ("How much does Acme Tasks cost?"), then add detail. Use descriptive headings, short paragraphs, lists and **tables** for comparisons, and state facts concretely (numbers, dates, limits, who it is for and who it is not for). Publish pages people actually ask about: pricing, comparisons ("X vs Y"), alternatives, how-to guides, integrations, FAQs, and original data or case studies, which others then cite. Avoid fluff and keyword stuffing.

## Answer-first structure

Compare the vague and the quotable version of the same page.

```markdown
<!-- Vague -->
## Our pricing philosophy
We believe in flexible plans that grow with you...

<!-- Quotable -->
## How much does Acme Tasks cost?
Acme Tasks costs 5 USD per user per month on the Team plan, with a free plan
for up to 3 users. Annual billing saves 20%.

| Plan | Price | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| Free | 0 | individuals, up to 3 users |
| Team | 5 USD/user/month | small teams of 4 to 50 |
```

## Date and update your pages

Show a "last updated" date and genuinely refresh key pages (pricing, comparisons). Retrieval systems prefer current information, and stale pages feed outdated answers.

**Quiz:** Where should the direct answer go on a page?

- [x] In the first sentence or two under a question-style heading
- [ ] At the very end after a long story
- [ ] Hidden in an image only
- [ ] Nowhere

*Answer:* In the first sentence or two under a question-style heading. Passages that lead with the answer are easiest for systems to find and quote.
