Affiliate Review Outline Generator

Plan a single-product review before you write it. Enter the product, your keyword and how you tested it, choose the angle and length, and the generator lays out every section with what to cover and an exact word budget — plus a scorecard and a checklist based on Google’s guidance for high-quality reviews.

Changing the angle loads a matching section plan.

words



2. Your testing

Google asks reviews to show evidence of real experience. These details go straight into the hands-on section’s guidance.

Each gets a score out of 10 in the verdict. Leave empty for no scorecard.


3. Section plan

Rename, re-weight, add or remove sections. Shares that don’t add up to 100% are scaled to your target length.

Quick answer: A strong affiliate product review covers what the product is and who it’s for, a quick verdict near the top, key features, your own hands-on testing with evidence, pricing, honest pros and cons, alternatives, who should and shouldn’t buy, and a clear final verdict — with a disclosure near the first affiliate link. In a 1,750-word beginner review, features and hands-on testing get about 333 and 350 words.

How the outline is built

Each review angle starts with a section plan: the sections a review usually needs and the share of the words each one gets. The generator turns the shares into word counts that add up exactly to your target, writes what to cover in each section for your angle, and adds your testing details, alternatives and scorecard. Everything in the plan can be edited.

The maths

Section words = target length × section share ÷ total of all shares
Rounding: whole words, adjusted so the sections add up exactly to the target
Scorecard = one score out of 10 per criterion, filled in after testing
Checklist = review guidance items, not counted in the word budget

The starting shares are a sensible first draft, not a rule. Google says to focus on the quality and originality of reviews rather than their length, so cut a section rather than pad it.

What Google asks of product reviews

Google’s guidance on writing high-quality reviews is the basis for the outline’s checklist. It asks reviewers to:

  • Evaluate from the user’s point of view and show you know the subject.
  • Provide evidence of your own experience — visuals, audio or links that show you used it.
  • Share measurements of how it performs where you can.
  • Discuss benefits and drawbacks based on your own research.
  • Explain what sets it apart and cover comparable alternatives, including which suits which use.
  • Back up any “best” claim with first-hand evidence.

Add the FTC’s disclosure rule — disclose affiliate relationships clearly and close to the recommendation — and Google’s request to mark affiliate links rel=”sponsored”, and you have the checklist the outline includes.

Worked examples

1. A beginner review, 1,750 words

Intro 123, quick verdict 70, “What is it?” 140, features 333, hands-on 350, pros and cons 157, pricing 157, alternatives 140, who should buy 105, FAQ 70 and final verdict 105 — exactly 1,750. Hands-on testing and features together get 39% of the review.

2. A comparison review, 2,000 words

With Writer B and Writer C named as rivals, “How it compares” gets 14% — 280 words — and its guidance names both. Features drop to 320 and hands-on to 340 so the total stays 2,000.

3. A personal results review, 2,750 words

Hands-on results get 26% — 715 words — and the guidance includes your own details, e.g. “used for 3 months; wrote 20 blog posts and timed each draft”. The scorecard adds Ease of use, Output quality, Value and Support, each out of 10.

4. Leaving testing details blank

If “How long you’ve used it” and “What you tested” are empty, the outline warns you: a hands-on section without real experience is exactly what Google’s guidance warns against — test first, or cut the section rather than invent results.

Tips for reviews readers trust

  • Lead with the verdict. Give busy readers your bottom line and rating near the top.
  • Show, don’t claim. Your own screenshots and numbers beat adjectives every time.
  • Be specific about drawbacks. Name who the product isn’t for — it makes your recommendation more believable.
  • Date your prices. Note when you checked pricing and update the review when it changes.
  • Use your scorecard consistently. The same criteria across reviews let readers compare products on your site.

Frequently asked questions

What should an affiliate product review include?

What the product is and who it’s for, a quick verdict near the top, key features, your own hands-on testing with evidence, pricing, pros and cons, alternatives, who should and shouldn’t buy, and a final verdict — plus a clear disclosure near the first affiliate link.

Does this tool write the review?

No. It builds the outline — sections, what to cover, word budgets, scorecard and checklist. You write the review from your own testing.

How are the word budgets worked out?

Each section has a share of the review. The generator multiplies your target length by each share (scaling the shares if they don’t total 100%) and rounds so the sections add up exactly to your target.

Can I add my own sections?

Yes. Add a section such as “Integrations” or “Speed test results”, give it a share, and the other sections adjust so the total stays the same.

Where should the affiliate disclosure go?

The FTC says disclosures should be clear and as close as possible to the recommendation — so put it near the top, before or beside the first affiliate link, not only at the bottom of the page.

How long should a product review be?

There’s no ideal length. Google says to focus on the quality and originality of reviews rather than their length. Use the word budget to balance depth between sections, not as a target to pad towards.
