Lesson 11 of 2014 minBeginner

Editing, QA and publishing

The three-pass edit

Pass one for structure, pass two for accuracy, pass three for line-level clarity. Doing all three at once produces a worse result more slowly.

Why this lesson matters

This lesson belongs to Editing, QA and publishing, the part of Content Strategy & Creation where the goal is: ship pages that hold up to scrutiny.

Read it once, then do it straight away on a real site inside RankWriter. Nothing here is theory for its own sake — every step produces something you can show a client.

Do it now

  1. 1Open RankWriter with sample data already loaded, so you are not stuck on setup.
  2. 2Draft the page you just planned.
  3. 3Run one draft through the full QA checklist and publish it, then log the publish date for measurement.
