RESEARCH REVIEW · Workflow idea

Find pages worth improving without treating an audit as a search guarantee.

For work involving authorized site pages, dated search observations, and proposed content or technical improvements, check the facts and permissions before taking the next step. Prepare source-linked observations and possible improvements for a site owner or editor. A page check can miss context, reuse restricted content, or suggest a change that harms accessibility. Review only authorized pages, respect access terms, verify findings on the current site, protect unpublished material, and require an editor to approve any live copy or setting change.

Set the brief.
Set the standard.

A few choices shape the work around your team.

Record source scope and retrieval dates
