Background

Why this needs a person

SuppScore is building a web page for supplement ingredients and their forms, for example magnesium and magnesium glycinate. Some forms in SuppScore's database are brand names, such as KSM-66® or BacoMind®.

The agreed rule is simple. A brand name only gets its own page if SuppScore's database holds both its own references and its own written reason for its grade. If it does not, the brand has no page. Anyone who opens its address is sent straight to the page for the same substance. That is called a redirect.

For most brands, the right page is obvious from the name. For these 18, the database does not say clearly which substance it is, or the substance has no page. So a person has to choose.

The one rule that matters most. The page you choose must be about the same substance as the brand. Never send a brand to a page about a different plant or chemical, even a similar one. If you are not sure, choose the ingredient dictionary and write a note.

What to do

Five steps for each brand

  1. Read the card below.It says what the brand is, what SuppScore's database says, our suggestion and how sure we are.
  2. Check what the brand really is.Look it up on the supplier's own website or the product label. The "How to check" line tells you what to look for.
  3. Decide where it should go.Pick one: accept our suggestion, choose the "other option", choose a different page from the full register, or choose the ingredient dictionary if nothing matches.
  4. Fill in the spreadsheet.Open brand-page-review.csv. For each brand, fill in the last three columns: your decision, the address you chose, and your name and the date.
  5. Send the spreadsheet back to Saumil at Whirlwind.Add a note for anything you were unsure about.

Good to know

Rules and words

RedirectAnyone who opens the old address is sent straight to another page.
Visible pageA page Google can show in search results.
Hidden pageA page people can open, but Google is told not to show it.
Row on the ingredient pageOne line in the table of forms on the ingredient's page. No page of its own.
Section on the ingredient pageThe ingredient page has its own heading for this form, so the redirect goes straight to that part.
Ingredient dictionaryThe page listing every ingredient, at /ingredients. Use it when nothing matches.
How sure we are"Very sure": the database itself links the brand to that page. "Fairly sure": the database says what the brand is, but there is no perfect page. "Not sure": we could not confirm what the brand is.

What SuppScore's database says
nothing
Monthly searches
no number
Our suggestion
The ingredient dictionary (no matching page exists)
/ingredients
Why
