FAQ

Industry-specific answers

Who is the buyer on a manufacturing industry page?: A procurement lead or engineer comparing process, material, and capacity. We write for that person’s assistant query, not a generic “best manufacturers” listicle. Copy is reviewed when your category requires it before anything customer-facing ships.
What prompt do we baseline first?: We start with a question in the buyer’s words, such as: “Who can manufacture this, to this tolerance, in this region?” We add city, service, and competitor variants only after you approve the list. Each prompt is tagged named, cited, or absent on the engines you select.
Do you publish rankings or review scores?: No. If a number is not in your analytics or a source you can show a reader, it stays off the page. We report mention, citation, and share of answer on agreed prompts—we do not invent review scores or traffic lifts.
