📄 Content Sample templates/announcement.md
Announcement Template
When to Use This Format
Use the announcement format when launching a project, tool, major feature, or significant update. Announcements are short, punchy, and action-oriented. The goal is to communicate what's new, why it matters, and how to get started — in under 1,500 words.
SEO Considerations
- Announcements don't typically rank for search long-term (they're time-sensitive)
- Optimize instead for social sharing and backlinks
- Include the product/project name prominently (brand search will come later)
- Link to documentation or a getting-started guide (those pages will rank)
