Someone talk me through starting a wikipedia page?

Been trying to start a wikipedia page for a client site and getting nowhere fast. I'd rather not throw money at a tool if there's a manual way. Has anyone got a process that holds up? Thanks in advance.

Is it about you or your company? Because that's the catch. Wikipedia strongly discourages writing about yourself or anything you're paid to promote, and you're expected to declare a conflict of interest if you do. The bigger hurdle is notability: the subject needs significant coverage in independent, reliable sources like proper news outlets or books. Press releases, your own site and paid features don't count. Without that, a page gets deleted no matter how well it's written. If the sources exist, the safer route is to create an account and submit a draft through Articles for Creation so experienced editors review it first. If they don't exist yet, work on getting covered and come back to it.
