How to publish a Guide that emits HowTo schema

How to publish a Guide that emits HowTo schema
  1. Use the Guide template.
  2. Start the body with numbered steps.
  3. Keep the outcome in the excerpt (300 characters).
  4. Avoid wrapping the whole post in one paragraph — steps cannot be inferred.
  5. Add a cover image if the Guide will be shared.

If you wrote a narrative essay, use Article instead.
