Since this is purely about organizing Shepherd services (with nothing
specific about Guix), I'd add this to the Shepherd manual; then perhaps
link to it from other places if relevant.

Don't you also need to register the services and arrange to have them
started?
My init.scm looks like:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
;;; Shepherd User Services
(load "services.scm")
(register-services
emacs
gpg-agent
jackd
ibus-daemon
workrave)
;; Send shepherd into the background.
(action 'shepherd 'daemonize)
;; Services to start when shepherd starts:
(for-each start '(emacs
gpg-agent
ibus-daemon
workrave))
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
Thanks for sharing!
