The minimum governance stack

Ownership map

Assign who writes, who reviews, and who approves each page type.

Style rules

Document terminology, tone, CTA style, and formatting rules.

Update cadence

Set a monthly review for pages tied to leads, pricing, and core service positioning.

Practical review checklist

• Is the claim still accurate?
• Is the proof still relevant?
• Does this page still match current offers?
• Are there duplicate pages competing for the same intent?

Governance is not bureaucracy. It is protection against content debt.
