What belongs in your help center

  • Getting started steps for new customers.
  • Billing, account, and access questions.
  • How-to guides for your most common tasks.
  • Troubleshooting checklists for known issues.
  • Escalation instructions when self-service is not enough.

How to structure articles

Keep categories broad and article titles task-focused. Customers search by problem, not by your internal team names, so article wording should match what customers actually ask.

Good publishing habits

  • Update articles whenever product workflows change.
  • Prefer short steps, screenshots, and checklists over long walls of text.
  • Link related guides to reduce dead ends in the help journey.
