Templates

Three structures cover most of the articles worth writing.

The list post, the how-to guide and the comparison post are not every format in existence — they are the three that match most search intent. Each template here names the queries it serves and what every section must do.

Questions

About using the templates.

Can I copy these templates?

Yes — they are published to be used. Copy the structure, write your own content, and do not scrape the page itself onto your site.

Will a template get the page ranked?

Structure helps a page match a query's intent, but relevance, depth and links decide the outcome, and no template can supply those.
