Some elements of this text to consider:
- The text clearly has a very narrow audience – Mazda car owners. The .ca domain name also indicates that it is a Canadian website.
- The opening paragraph has an explanation of what a VIN (Vehicle Identification Number) is indicating that the average reader is a regular Mazda owner, not someone with a lot of technical / mechanical car knowledge.
- The use of the second person “you” is important.
- Images / diagrams are used to help clarify the information in the article.
