What’s a style guide?

A style or brand guide can help your business maintain consistency of grammar, punctuation, wording, tone, and voice — regardless of the type of content and who may be creating it. It’s a living document that can and should change and grow with your business.

If a potential client reads a post on one of your social media channels and follows a link to your website, the experience should be one of continuity. A shift in tone or wording from the post to a landing page can lead to confusion and frustration…and possibly the loss of a sale or lead.

Having a style guide that everyone in your company can reference is the simplest and most effective way to keep your brand consistent across all of your content.

In case it hasn’t become obvious, the answer to the question “Should your small business have a style guide?” is “Yes!” 💯
