Writing a definition is tricky--you need to describe the term without using it and you can’t expect the reader to know the three terms it interconnects with. Most glossaries in industry fail on this very point.
Good entries define the straightforward meaning first. Then the specifics that require a bit of thought. Finally include examples that can illuminate if the reader has understood properly.
Being willing to read a glossary makes people uniquely understanding and unique in their inability to wait, so they are your ideal audience. They want to understand in one sentence what they can tell their colleague. Explaining the term in one sentence is a sign that you clearly understand the term, and thus ending your explanation.
The generated glossary entries tend to be circular and lack variety. The definitions use the defined terms themselves which leads to circular reasoning, the examples are vague, and each entry is the same length and follows the same pattern which makes a fifty term glossary one large dense paragraph broken into sections.
To find out how each phrase is actually looked up, we consider the phrasing people might use rather than the phrasing used correctly within that industry. The first pass at an entry is written. Then someone outside the industry reads it, and everything they couldn’t understand is rewritten. The second reader identifies assumptions the specialist was not able to see.
Each entry is created to offer an easily digestible definition while simultaneously encouraging readers to learn more. To this end, each entry is constructed with a definition sentence, some elaboration, an example, and finally some related terms. The order of the components best supports how search engines tend to breakdown definitions, though we have constructed our glossary in this way to match how people tend to read definitions first.

Yes — 2 rounds are included, for 14 days after delivery, handled by the writer who wrote the piece rather than by someone new to the brief.
It depends on search volume and depth. If a term has considerable search volume, then a separate page should be created for it. Terms that only make sense in the context of your product should be added to a shared page. The writer will divide your list into the two groups prior to drafting, and will explain the reasoning behind it.
Yes, and you should ask for it. Provide the writer with your documents or style guide and they’ll note any instances of inconsistent usage across your documents. Any discrepancies will be noted, and you are able to choose your “preferred” terminology.

I explained ninety legal terms without the trick of using the word being defined in the definition. Each of these terms has an example sentence to show how you can find the term being defined in a case. Our paralegals send this link to the clients instead of describing it over the phone.
Ordered eleven town pages and expected the same content with only the town name changed. Each one mentions something different from the ferry timetable, to the Tuesday market. I read all eleven, and was looking for any similarity between them. They are all completely unique pages.
I got a rough draft for the pillar page that included suggested anchor text for all eight supporting articles that I mentioned briefly when I gave them the brief. I did not include that in the brief. That saved me two days of work.
We do not ask you to take the no-AI promise on trust. Each draft is run through these platforms and the reports are attached to your delivery email.
