Editorial policy and corrections

What the publication is for

Content Charlie helps small businesses make clearer decisions about website structure, written content and creative materials. Each guide should answer a distinct reader question and produce a usable next step. A worksheet, complete draft or reasoned comparison is more useful than repeating a definition.

Sources and judgement

Technical statements should be supported by primary documentation, such as Google Search Central, W3C or the organisation responsible for the relevant format or service. Source links are provided with the relevant discussion or at the end of a guide. A source supports the associated claim; it is not an endorsement of this publication.

Some recommendations are editorial judgements: for example, which buying questions to put first on a service page. Those recommendations should explain their reasoning and the assumptions behind them. They should not be presented as scientific findings, universal rules or guaranteed ways to improve rankings or sales.

The material is prepared with AI assistance. It is checked for consistency with cited sources and the teaching scenario, but is not presented as independently audited or reviewed by a named professional. The organisational byline identifies the publication, not a fictional individual or an undisclosed expert credential.

Original teaching examples

Fictional businesses, products, budgets, proposals and data tables are explicitly described as examples. Their numbers demonstrate a method and must not be mistaken for market averages, live prices or measured outcomes. We do not create testimonials, claim former client work, or invent facts about an actual provider.

Before adapting a passage, verify every offer detail, location, price, compatibility statement, permission and product claim against your own evidence. An attractive sentence does not make an unverified fact safe to publish.

Dates and updates

Article dates describe the first published edition in this website package and any subsequent substantive editorial change. The initial edition was prepared on 4 November 2026. Historical archive dates identify old snapshots, not the publication dates of these new guides.

A navigation change or routine deployment is not a reason to advance all article dates. When an important correction changes a recommendation, the affected page should explain what changed, update its review date and check any linked worksheet or example that relies on the same point. Outdated claims should be corrected or removed, not silently kept because a URL already exists.

Checking a possible error

Compare the exact statement with the linked source, including its scope and date. Record the page address, the wording in question, the supporting evidence and the practical effect of the error. A clear factual correction is easier to assess than a general request to improve a page.

The contact page states the available contact arrangements. There is currently no public submission inbox or form, and this policy does not promise that messages can be sent through the site or that a response will be provided.

Commercial links and independence

The current site contains no advertising, affiliate tracking, paid listings or sponsored recommendations. External references are selected for their usefulness to the specific task. No automatic network of promotional links is used. External providers control their own information and terms.

For the website's own data handling and use conditions, see privacy and terms of use.
