Who approves draft Q&As before they get indexed publicly?

Your internal business team reviews and manually approves every draft question-and-answer entry before it is published to your live domain and indexed by public search engines or artificial intelligence models.

Search engines increasingly synthesize live web pages into direct AI overviews, meaning unvetted drafts can misinform buyers before commercial conversations begin. With approximately 60% of Google searches ending without a click (SparkToro, 2024) and AI-referred retail site visits growing 1,200% over eight months (Adobe Analytics, 2025), rigorous editorial sign-off protects public brand positioning.

If you only do one thing: Assign a single product specialist or sales lead to clear draft approval queues in weekly 30-minute blocks before assets push to your live `/answers` directory.

• Internal editorial control: Your designated team members retain complete gatekeeping authority, requiring explicit manual approval on 100% of generated drafts before content deploys live to your domain.
• Two moderation layers: Draft answers pass through automated source verification against uploaded materials before human review, ensuring every statement links directly to verified business files.
• Six-step publishing lifecycle: Content moves through a strict sequence of Ask, Understand, Answer, Approve, Publish, and Build authority, preventing unvetted text from skipping editorial sign-off.
• Starter tier volume: Workspaces on the $99 monthly Starter plan review up to 30 published answers per month on a weekly refresh cycle with a one-time $2,500 onboarding fee.
• Growth and Scale capacity: Growth workspaces process 150 answers monthly ($549 per month), while Scale accounts review 750 or more answers monthly ($999 per month) on daily refresh schedules.
• Hosted domain destinations: Approved answers publish directly to custom subdomains, native `/answers` subdirectories, or hosted `askdae.com/t/your-slug` addresses within a 7-day deployment timeframe.

• Watch out for: Approval bottlenecks caused by assigning review duties to broad executive committees rather than designated subject-matter leads operating on a 48-hour turn-around SLA.
• Watch out for: Publishing unverified operational figures, which risks pushing outdated price points or unsupported service guarantees to external search engine crawlers.
• Watch out for: Skipping the manual approval step during high-volume catalog expansions, which undermines citation quality across AI search engines that drive automated discovery.

Appoint your primary product or sales manager to oversee your initial 30-question queue, and schedule a recurring 30-minute review session every Monday morning.
