    Hi there,

    As someone from the UK, what is an 'adu'? Never heard of it before. Is it an acronym? If so, you need to explain or at least write it in full at the beginning.

    You'll have to remove the promotional link.

    Clean up the formatting in the beginning; it's messy.

    That table is all promotional. It's not permitted. You cannot promote your business here.

    Remove ALL those links.

    And... the big massive problem... your article does not fulfill the title. It gives tips and ideas, sure, but it does not tell the reader HOW.

    Good luck.

      Thanks for the feedback! I've changed the title to reflect that the article is a list of ideas, rather than a manual on how to do the conversion. I've added an introduction explaining what ADUs are. And I've taken out the link to How To ADU at the end.

      That said, I'm confused about the links in the table not being permitted. They're not linking to a business (or my business in particular) - they're references for the information in the table. And that page isn't selling any services. Thanks for flagging this for me and sharing your experience - would you mind explaining a bit more about why this isn't permitted?

      Thanks again! Super helpful to have your experienced eyes on this!
