SEO Content Brief Generator
Builds a full SEO content brief for a target keyword: search intent classification, SERP landscape analysis, required subtopics, heading structure, entity coverage, and internal-link plan. This is the artifact agencies charge hundreds for per keyword — the structure encodes how professional content teams brief writers so the resulting page can actually compete.
The Prompt
Create a comprehensive SEO content brief for the target keyword: [KEYWORD] **Research & Analysis:** 1. Search Intent Classification: Informational / Commercial / Transactional / Navigational 2. SERP Analysis: - What types of pages rank in top 10? - Average word count of top results? - Common subtopics covered? - Content formats that perform best? 3. Related keywords and LSI terms to include (minimum 15) 4. Question-based keywords for FAQ sections **Content Structure:** 1. Recommended title tag (under 60 characters, includes keyword) 2. Meta description (under 160 characters, compelling) 3. URL slug recommendation 4. H1 heading 5. Detailed outline with: - All H2 headings (with target keywords naturally integrated) - All H3 subheadings under each H2 - Word count recommendation per section - Internal linking opportunities - External link suggestions (authoritative sources) **Optimization Checklist:** - Keyword density targets - Readability score recommendations - Image alt text suggestions - Schema markup recommendations - Content freshness indicators **Competitive Advantages:** What can this content cover that top-ranking pages miss? Target audience: [AUDIENCE] Content type: [BLOG POST / GUIDE / PRODUCT PAGE]
How to Customize It
Replace each bracketed placeholder with your own details before running the prompt. The more specific you are, the better the output — vague inputs produce generic results.
[KEYWORD]Swap in your keyword.[AUDIENCE]Swap in your audience.[BLOG POST / GUIDE / PRODUCT PAGE]Swap in your blog post or guide or product page.
When to Use It
- Briefing freelance writers so their drafts target the SERP instead of their intuition.
- Deciding whether a keyword is worth pursuing — the intent and competition analysis often kills bad targets before you invest.
- Refreshing underperforming content: generate the brief for the keyword and diff it against what the existing page covers.
Tips for Better Results
- 1Verify SERP claims against the actual results page — the model reasons about typical SERPs, and your keyword's reality may differ. The brief structure is reliable; the specific competitive claims need checking.
- 2Include your site's topical strengths so internal-link suggestions point at pages you actually have.
- 3Match content type to intent honestly: if the SERP is all product pages, a blog post will not rank regardless of quality.
