Sales Page Citability Audit
Use this skill to make a commercial page easier for editors, contributors, partners, and publishers to cite without forcing a promotional link.
This skill is derived from Garrett French and Eric Ward's Ultimate Guide to Link Building and uses transformed guidance with durable book-topic references. Do not copy book prose into user outputs.
Quick Start
Use the Contents table below to choose the smallest useful reference set.
Use workflows/audit-sales-page-citability.md for a full page audit.
Identify the audience action cycle around the page.
Add or strengthen reference-worthy elements before outreach.
Recommend section-specific links, internal links, and citation-safe pitch angles.
Default Output
When asked to audit citability, return:
Page role - commercial goal, audience, action cycle, and target link contexts.
Citation gaps - where the page lacks facts, definitions, examples, tools, or proof.
Recommended additions - citable modules with purpose and implementation notes.
Section link plan - section URLs, internal links, and natural citation language.
Tool choices - crawler, analytics/search data, CMS, structured data testing, and user research sources.
Outreach readiness - whether the page is ready, needs support content, or should not be pitched.

Core Posture
A page is citable when linking to it helps the publisher's reader.
Commercial intent is not disqualifying, but unsupported promotion is.
Build citation reasons into the page before asking for links.
Prefer specific section anchors over vague homepage or product-page links.
