Nobody wants your one-pager.
The prospect might *say* they want a one-pager.
But what they actually want is all the information to make a buying decision in the least amount of time & effort as possible.
Act accordingly.

Google has just updated the #SearchQualityRaterGuidelines. It seems that the most important change is to align the descriptions for low-quality pages with Google's spam guidelines. Will there be a major Google update soon (like March 2024)? static.googleusercontent.com/media/guidel...

Okay, hear me out; the power of a brand isn't really something that’s new in 2025.
Many within SEO have felt that brands have an unfair advantage in search results for years, and the usual response is that brands provide results that users want.
