SEO Content Brief and Article Outline

Build a search-intent-driven content brief: title options, meta description, H2/H3 outline, and the human input your article needs to rank.

Create an SEO content brief and outline for the target keyword: [PRIMARY KEYWORD]

Who searches this and why: [AUDIENCE + WHAT THEY'RE TRYING TO DO]
What we uniquely know or have: [YOUR EXPERIENCE, DATA, EXAMPLES, or "nothing yet"]

Produce:

1. **Search intent**: in one sentence: what someone typing this actually wants (learn / compare / buy / do). Every choice below must serve that intent. If the keyword is ambiguous between two intents, say so and pick the dominant one.
2. **Title options**: 5 title tags under 60 characters that contain the keyword naturally. Rank them and give one line on why the winner wins.
3. **Meta description**: under 155 characters, states the concrete payoff of clicking.
4. **Outline**: H2/H3 structure that fully answers the intent. Front-load the answer: the reader gets the core answer in the first section, not after ten sections of setup. For each H2, note the specific question it answers and the one concrete element it must contain (a number, step list, table, or example).
5. **[HUMAN INPUT] markers**: flag every spot in the outline where my first-hand experience, original data, or a real example is required for the article to beat generic AI content. Be specific about what to add.
6. **Coverage gaps**: 3-5 questions competitors likely miss (the "people also ask" long tail).

Rules: write for the reader first, the keyword appears where natural, never stuffed. Prefer specific, falsifiable section claims over vague ones.

How to use

Search engines now demote generic AI drafts and reward first-hand experience, so the [HUMAN INPUT] markers are the point: the outline tells you exactly where your experience must appear. Write those parts yourself, let AI draft the connective tissue.
