|

## Internal Linking Suggestions

|
||

|
||
|
||
## Quality Checks
|
||
|
||
- [ ] Search intent is correctly identified (informational vs commercial)
|
||
- [ ] Outline addresses the actual user question (not just the keyword)
|
||
- [ ] Competitor gaps are specific and actionable
|
||
- [ ] FAQ section addresses real "People Also Ask" questions
|
||
- [ ] Title tag is under 60 characters and includes the keyword
|
||
- [ ] Internal linking suggestions are relevant and specific
|
||
|
||
## Example Trigger Phrases
|
||
|
||
- "Write an SEO brief for the keyword [keyword]"
|
||
- "Create a content brief for [topic]"
|
||
- "What should I include in a blog post about [keyword]?"
|
||
- "Build a content strategy brief for [topic]"
|
||
|
||
## Anti-Patterns
|
||
|
||
- [ ] Do not write an outline that answers a different question than the actual search intent — the brief must match what the searcher wants, not what the brand wants to say
|
||
- [ ] Do not set keyword density targets so high that they produce unnatural writing — 3–5 natural mentions is guidance, not a quota
|
||
- [ ] Do not skip the competitor gap analysis — without it, the brief produces content that duplicates what already ranks
|
||
- [ ] Do not leave the FAQ section without real "People Also Ask" questions — fabricated questions miss search volume opportunities
|
||
- [ ] Do not write a title tag longer than 60 characters — it will be truncated in search results and undermine ranking
