## Keywords (CA)

| Role | Keyword | Vol | SD | Notes |
|------|---------|-----|-----|-------|
| Primary | argon gas windows | ~110 | 28 | Own what argon is + benefits + drawbacks + lifespan |
| Supporting | argon filled windows | — | — | Natural in body |
| Supporting | argon gas in windows benefits | — | — | Benefits H2 + takeaways |

Do **not** primary-target commercial hubs or turn this into a pane-count shopping guide.

## Intent

Informational: what argon gas is, how it works in insulated glass units (IGUs), argon gas in windows benefits, real drawbacks (sound, seal loss), safety, lifespan, and when argon filled windows make sense in Canadian homes. Soft product path only after education.

## Cannibal fences

| Keep this page owning | Fence / demote |
|-----------------------|----------------|
| Argon gas windows, argon filled windows, benefits/drawbacks/lifespan | Do not expand into full double vs triple pane comparison |
| Argon vs krypton vs air (gas fill only) | Pane-count efficiency debate → sibling `argon-gas-windows-vs-double-pane-what-offers-better-efficiency.html` |
| Educational IGU + seal context | Do not steal intent from `/windows.html` or `double-pane-or-triple-pane-windows.html` |
| One soft link to `/windows.html` when product context fits | No mid-body location/city link dumps |

## Commercial-page fences

- Soft CTA to free assessment / quote only; no hard sell or invented savings %.
- CCW product language: **uPVC casement** + DraftLOCK argon as standard; link [windows](https://www.windowscanada.com/windows.html) once in product context.
- **25-year transferable warranty** when sealed-glass / product CTA appears.
- No invented per-window prices (live had “$40 per window”).

## Length target

- Live body ~1,391 words (wayback extract).
- Refresh target: **1,400–1,700 words** (H1 → end of FAQ).
- Tighten takeaways; add lifespan/maintenance depth live under-served.

## Live issues to fix

- `H3: Key Takeaways:` → `## H2: Key takeaways` with scannable bullets.
- Title Case H2/H3 → sentence case with `H1:`/`H2:`/`H3:` prefixes.
- Remove **Locations** widgets and city commercial links mid-education.
- Drop **Norman Verblonski** quote (SOP: Helen Sin / Tony Wong only); keep live **Helen Sin** quote.
- Remove invented **$40/window** and unverified savings / U-value / ER % claims.
- Numbered benefit H3s (`1. Improved…`) → plain sentence-case H3s.
- “Resealing can prevent gas loss” → correct to sealed glass unit replacement when seal fails.
- Keep qualitative **argon vs krypton vs air** table (live intent).
- Preserve three live S3 content images (hero + two body); no author avatars in body.
- Brief fence line to sibling argon vs double-pane URL (no full pane-count rewrite).

## Quotes

- Keep live **Helen Sin** quote (sound insulation).
- No new invented quotes; no Norman Verblonski in refresh.
