Self-contained, quotable paragraphs
Write key facts as 1-3 sentence paragraphs that stand alone without surrounding context.
What a quotable snippet looks like
A quotable snippet is a short paragraph — usually one to three sentences — that states a fact completely. It does not rely on the sentence before it, or a pronoun, or context from earlier in the page. Lift it out of the article and it still makes sense.
AI assistants love these because they can quote them directly in an answer without paraphrasing. Paraphrasing is lossy and risky; direct quotes are safe. Models prefer safe.

How to write more of them
- — Start each key paragraph with the subject, not a pronoun.
- — Put one idea per paragraph. Split if you find a second.
- — Include the proper noun or product name every few paragraphs.
- — Edit after writing. Ask 'does this make sense on its own?'
