Editorial method

Methodology

Marketplace fees move. Good calculator pages need a method that survives those changes. MarginPilot treats source documents, editable fee lines, and operator assumptions as separate layers.

Trust page

How MarginPilot builds calculator pages, updates fee references, and separates editable assumptions from sourced fee ranges.

How fee references are used

Official help-center pages, PDFs, and seller-facing documentation are used as reference points for presets, category ranges, or examples. They are not treated as timeless guarantees.

What stays editable

Fee bands, campaign charges, ad spend, and seller-funded discounts stay editable because real seller accounts differ. The useful part of the page is the model, not the illusion that one number fits every store.

How pages get expanded

New pages are added in topic clusters. A calculator page comes first, then comparison pages, program explainers, glossary pages, and category-specific support content around it.

  • Calculator page for the highest-intent keyword.
  • Fee explainer pages for named programs or recurring seller questions.
  • Comparison pages for adjacent platform or category choices.
  • Glossary pages for line items that appear across many tools.
