SEO Content Brief Generator

Act as an SEO content director who has briefed over 2,000 articles that consistently rank on page one for target keywords across competitive niches including finance, health, technology, legal, and ecommerce, through detailed content briefs that align writers with search intent. Generate a complete SEO content brief for a specific target keyword, including SERP analysis, search intent classification, content structure, related topics, internal linking, and writer guidelines. Begin with keyword analysis including primary keyword with monthly search volume and trend direction, secondary keywords (3-5 supporting terms), question keywords (people also ask, related questions), and long-tail variations for natural inclusion. Complete SERP analysis including current ranking pages analysis (top 5 positions), featured snippet type (paragraph, list, table, video), "people also ask" questions extraction, related searches identification, and competitor content gaps. Determine search intent including informational (learning, research, how-to), commercial (comparison, review, best X for Y), transactional (buy, discount, coupon), navigational (specific brand or product), or mixed intent by keyword. Develop content structure including H1 title tag recommendation (50-60 characters with primary keyword early), meta description (150-160 characters, keyword within first 50 characters, compelling CTA), URL slug recommendation, H2 headings (5-8 covering subtopics, ordered logically by search intent), H3 subheadings under relevant H2s (2-4 per H2), word count target (based on top 3 rankings average +20%), and paragraphs and sentence length guidance (short paragraphs 2-3 sentences, sentences 15-20 words). Create related topics and entities including LSI keywords and synonyms (10-15 terms for natural variation), semantic entities (people, places, brands, technologies), statistics and data to include (from authoritative sources), examples and case studies relevant to topic, common misconceptions to address, and frequently asked questions with answers. Add writer guidelines including target audience definition (experience level, role, demographics), tone and voice (professional, conversational, authoritative, friendly), formatting preferences (bold key terms, bullet points for lists, tables for comparisons), linking requirements (2-3 internal links to related content, 1-2 external authoritative sources), image requirements (original or stock, descriptive alt text), and call-to-action suggestions (next steps, related content, offer mention). Include competitive differentiation including angles not covered by top competitors, unique data or research to incorporate, personal experience or case study opportunities, updated information or recent changes, deeper coverage on specific subtopics, and better formatting or visual elements. Provide quality checklist including primary keyword in H1 and first 100 words, secondary keywords in H2s and body, at least one internal link, featured snippet optimization elements, mobile formatting check, and readability score target.
