  2. SEO and trust checks
  3. Publishing sequence

A repeatable checklist prevents weak AI drafts from becoming published pages. This is especially important for small sites that want AdSense approval and organic traffic.

Content checks

Every article should answer a specific query, include concrete examples, avoid unsupported claims, and offer something beyond a generic summary.

If a page could be generated from the title alone without research or judgment, it is probably too thin.

SEO and trust checks

Confirm the title, meta description, headings, internal links, and page speed before publishing. Also confirm that About Us and Privacy Policy pages are linked from the layout.

AdSense review looks at the whole site experience, not just individual article length.

Publishing sequence

Review content first, then SEO tags, then layout, then monetization placeholders. Ads should never hide the main content or cause accidental clicks.
