Model answer
I am proud of a guide I wrote on filing GST returns for small shop owners. The goal was to reduce support calls to our accounting software team. I interviewed two support agents to learn the most common mistakes, then wrote a step-by-step guide in simple language with screenshots and a short checklist. A chartered accountant reviewed it for accuracy. Within three months, it became one of our top five organic pages and support tickets about GST filing dropped by around 20%. I learned that talking to people who hear customer problems every day gives better content ideas than keyword tools alone.
