Founded in the year 2001, it has been more than a decade since Wikipedia emerged on the search engine. In the current day, Wikipedia has become an online platform that is more than a free online encyclopedia. Those who are seeking online recognition tend to utilize this platform for marketing but Wikipedia has strict guidelines. You cannot form a full-fledged plan for content marketing and then use it as content for your article or page.
Promotions or visible advertising is not encouraged on Wikipedia. What would you do then? Here is what you should pay heed to before compiling the content for a wiki page.
Make sure to check eligibility
Not everyone or every company is allowed to have a page on Wikipedia. Before proceeding to make a page or approach a Wikipedia writing service, you should look into the guidelines of Wikipedia to check if you are eligible or not. You or your company should meet the notability standards defined by Wikipedia since only notable people or businesses are able to get a page. If you do not qualify then you should first focus on building a notable online presence and then test your luck on the open source platform.
Gather sources and references
Once you believe your presence meets Wikipedia page standards, now it is time to move to the next step. Now you have to find all the credible sources that have information or media coverage about you. The only condition is that these sources need to be authentic or else the moderators at Wikipedia would consider the page as spam and reject it. You should have enough sources and references to add as citations. If you do not then first look for media outlets or platforms that are willing to provide you with the coverage you need for scoring a Wikipedia page.
Make an account on Wikipedia
You could ask the writer you have hired to create your profile or you could simply make one yourself. After you or the writer has compiled the content for your page, it is certain that the next time is to publish it. Now is the time to create your account on the platform. It is not required to name your account using your or your company’s name. You would first have to discuss with the editors at Wikipedia, as only after a thorough discussion, you will be able to convince the editors for publishing your page or article.
