description: Map what a page says against what its visitor came to find out, then fix the order, headings, labels and length so the page reads in the right sequence - and so search engines and screen readers get the same outline. Use when a page is long but unclear, before writing a new page, or when headings don't tell the story on their own.

## 1. Visitor questions
List the 5–8 questions a visitor to this page has, in the order they arise:
1. What is it?
2. Is it for me?
3. How does it work?
4. What does it cost?
5. Can I trust it?
6. How do I start?
Rank them by how many visitors have each one.
## 2. Map the page
Extract the page's outline (`h1`–`h3`) and, under each heading, one line summarising what the section actually says. Then match each question to the section that answers it.
- **Unanswered questions:** add a section, or a sentence to an existing one.
- **Answers nobody asked:** cut them, or move them lower.
- **Out of order:** if "what does it cost" comes before "what is it", reorder.
## 3. Headings that carry the story
- Read only the headings, top to bottom. They should summarise the page.
- Replace label headings ("Features", "Overview") with statements ("Every deploy gets its own URL").
- Keep one `h1` and a real hierarchy, with no levels skipped for size; style the right level instead.
## 4. Sections that scan
- Each section opens with its point in the first sentence.
- Use lists for parallel items, tables for comparisons, and steps for sequences.
- Cut sentences that only restate the heading.
- Labels, buttons and links use the same words for the same thing everywhere (don't say "workspace" in one place and "team" in another).
## 5. Length
A section is as long as its question needs. Measure each section in words against how important its question is, and trim the long ones that answer minor questions.
## Output
1. The question list.
2. A before/after outline.
3. A list of moves, cuts and additions.
4. The rewritten headings.
Then apply them, and re-read the headings alone to confirm they tell the story.
