Build an SEO content brief a writer can execute without you

Create an SEO content brief for the target keyword [TARGET KEYWORD]. The article will live on [SITE OR DOMAIN], whose audience is [AUDIENCE], and should support the business goal of [GOAL, E.G. DEMO SIGNUPS, AFFILIATE CLICKS, TOPICAL AUTHORITY].

Produce the brief in this order:
1. Search intent: classify it (informational, commercial, transactional, navigational) and state in one sentence what a searcher typing this wants to happen. If the keyword plausibly mixes intents, say which to prioritize and why.
2. Recommended format: guide, listicle, comparison, tool page, or other, with a one-line justification.
3. Title options: three, each under 60 characters, keyword near the front, no clickbait.
4. Meta description: under 155 characters, includes the keyword, states what the reader gets.
5. Outline: H2s and H3s in reading order. For each H2, one sentence of writer guidance on what the section must cover and what to avoid. Mark where the primary CTA belongs.
6. Entities and subtopics: 10-15 terms and concepts the article must mention for complete coverage.
7. Questions to answer: 5-8, phrased the way searchers ask them; mark which belong in the body versus an FAQ block.
8. Internal links: 3-5 anchor-text suggestions for pages likely to exist on the site, explicitly marked as suggestions to verify.
9. Data flags: list every point in the outline where the writer needs a real statistic or citation, marked FIND SOURCE. Do not supply numbers yourself.

For target length, recommend a word-count range based on what full coverage of this outline actually requires, not a generic figure.
