Short answer

Every Outseen text starts with a specific customer question. Articles name their sources and we correct mistakes as soon as we see or hear about them. Client work is written by a writer and checked by a reviewer; our resources were written with the help of AI and released by our founder.

Every Outseen text starts with a specific customer question. Articles name their sources, every page has a date, and we correct mistakes as soon as we see or hear about them. How a text comes about differs: for client work a writer creates it, a reviewer checks it and you approve it. Our own resources were written with the help of AI and released for publication by our founder.

From question to publication in client work

StepWhoWhat happens
1. QuestionSpecialistWe record which question the page answers and for whom. Often we improve an existing page first.
2. Brief and sourcesSpecialist and clientWe gather the information from the business and the external sources that back up the facts.
3. WritingWriterThe writer works from the brief and sources. AI can help with organising or an outline; the writer is responsible for the text.
4. Self-editWriterThe writer cuts padding, empty promises and repetition, and checks whether the text answers the question.
5. ReviewReviewerA second person checks the facts, wording, headings and what the reader can do with the text.
6. ApprovalClientFor client work, you give feedback and approve the right version. A change to the content after that goes back to the reviewer.
7. PublicationOutseenWe publish, check the page and record what was delivered.

Our own resources

The articles, glossary terms and answers in our resources were written with the help of AI, based on documentation from Google, Bing and AI companies and on what Outseen itself does. Every article names its sources, and those sources were opened during writing. Our founder released the resources for publication. If you spot a mistake, let us know; we correct mistakes as soon as we see or hear about them.

Sources

  • We prefer primary sources: the documentation of Google, Bing and AI companies, legislation, official bodies and the original research.
  • We cite figures with a source and year in the same sentence.
  • We open every source ourselves. Anything we cannot confirm, we leave out.
  • We do not copy other people’s texts. A short quote goes in quotation marks with a credit.

Dates and authors

Every published page shows the date on which the text was last updated, with Outseen as the author. In client work, no text goes online without your approval. Search engines and AI assistants change quickly, so we review our resources periodically and only change the date when the content has actually been revised.

What we do not do

  • No guarantees of rankings or of mentions in AI answers.
  • No invented figures, experiences, reviews or client cases.
  • No competitor names to make ourselves look better.
  • No pages created just to hit a number.

Corrections

Spotted a mistake? Report it through contact with the page and what you think is wrong. If the report is right, we correct the text, add the new date and note at the bottom what has changed in the content.

FAQs

Who writes the articles in Outseen’s resources?

The articles in our resources were written with the help of AI. Every article names its sources, and our founder released the resources for publication. Every article lists Outseen as the author, together with the date on which the text was last updated. If you spot a mistake, let us know; we correct mistakes as soon as we see or hear about them.

I have spotted an error in an Outseen article. What now?

Report the error through the contact page and name the page and what you think is wrong, ideally with a source. We check the report, correct the text if the report is right and add the new date to the article. For a correction to the content, we note at the bottom of the article what has changed.

Which sources does Outseen use in articles?

We prefer primary sources: the documentation of Google, Bing and the AI companies themselves, legislation, official bodies and the original research. We only cite figures with a source and a year. Anything we cannot confirm in a reliable source, we leave out.
