Create a Reliable Business Knowledge Base
A reliable knowledge base comes before useful automation. Review the facts, boundaries, and voice rules before letting them shape repeated articles.
Koala's Brand DNA overview describes a business knowledge base connected to article writing and an SEO agent. It can use website or business-listing information and connected search data. The practical value depends on the quality of that context.
Organize your own knowledge into clear categories: services or products, audience, approved claims, locations where relevant, important restrictions, terminology, and voice rules. Separate facts from suggestions. An aspiration such as become the leading provider is not a credential that belongs in an article.
Include dates or review notes for unstable information. Pricing, service availability, and product capabilities can change. A central record makes updating easier, but it also makes an outdated statement easier to repeat across new pages.
Review Imported Information
Treat import as a draft of the knowledge base. Compare key statements with current business records and public documentation. Remove obsolete offerings, unsupported credentials, duplicated text, and details copied from pages that no longer represent the business accurately.
Pay special attention to restrictions. If a service operates only in a defined area or a product feature is plan-dependent, preserve that boundary. A shortened summary should not become a broader promise than the source supports.
For an independent publication, use publication standards and accurate product notes rather than implying ownership of the merchant. Business context should clarify the article's perspective without manufacturing a partnership, testimonial, or publisher testing narrative.
Write Useful Voice and Editorial Rules
Write voice rules as concrete behavior. Specify direct explanations, consistent product spelling, useful examples, and a preference for clear qualifications over sweeping claims. Provide examples of acceptable phrasing when the distinction is important.
Also state factual boundaries: do not invent reviews, ratings, offer terms, prices, credentials, or experience. A brand voice should not turn uncertainty into confidence. If a fact is missing, the draft should leave a review issue rather than fill the gap creatively.
Test those instructions on one article. Check whether the draft preserves them in tables, captions, headings, and the conclusion. Consistency is useful only when the repeated statements are both accurate and appropriate to the page's purpose.
| Knowledge Area | Useful Input | Review Risk |
|---|---|---|
| Offer facts | Current capabilities and restrictions | Outdated or overbroad claims |
| Audience | Actual reader needs | Generic positioning |
| Voice | Specific writing rules | Confidence replacing qualification |
| Search context | Relevant performance questions | Unnecessary new pages |
| Publishing defaults | Destination and review status | Unapproved automatic publication |

Use Search Data With Business Context
Search Console and Analytics can help identify pages and queries worth investigating, while the business context explains which opportunities matter. Treat a recommendation as a starting point for intent analysis, not automatic permission to generate a new page for every query.
If two queries ask essentially the same question, improve the existing page where appropriate. If the reader's task differs, a separate page may be justified. Review the live search results and the current article before deciding.
Use the content refresh guide for existing pages and the briefing guide for new ones. Keep publishing priorities aligned with the audience and the facts the business can support.
Approve Recommendations Before Automation
Before enabling calendar or agent-driven publication, check the knowledge base, article defaults, integration destination, and approval process. Begin with drafts so you can inspect how the context appears in actual output. Do not assume a recommendation and a finished article are the same deliverable.
The current pricing page distinguishes agent access between tiers. Choose a plan based on the business context and tasks you need rather than assuming every subscription has unlimited agent use.
After the pilot, update the knowledge base using repeated editorial issues. If drafts routinely omit a restriction, add it clearly to the source context. If they overuse the brand name, refine the voice rule. This creates a maintained system rather than an expanding collection of corrective prompts.
Frequently Asked Questions
What should a knowledge base contain?
Include current business facts, audience, products or services, restrictions, approved terminology, and clear editorial rules. Keep uncertain claims out of the confirmed-fact section.
Can imported facts be wrong?
Yes. An import may reflect outdated pages, incomplete listings, or ambiguous wording. Review important facts before relying on them in new content.
Is the agent unlimited on every plan?
No. Current plan descriptions distinguish limited agent access from the fuller experience on higher tiers. Check current eligibility and message limits before choosing a subscription.
