Do they talk of others in the industry favourably?

Is there anything just ~wrong~ about the numbers/facts being spoken about?

How is the blog presented?

Spelling issues?

Is the blog itself easy to use, read, navigate?

Does it feel thought out and in service of the reader? Or rushed to get another blog out?

Are all the blogs on one topic by the same 1-3 authors?

If I skim it, does it still make sense?

How do I feel after reading the content?

Is it just better than the other options? Regardless of ranking position.

Would I be proud to have written this piece?

Where is it sending me to next? Do I feel like I'm in good hands, or happy to head back to Google?
