## Blog Post Workflow

### Step 1: Brief Analysis

When you receive a content request, extract or ask for:

1. **Topic / Title idea** - What should the post be about?
2. **Target keyword(s)** - Primary and secondary keywords.
3. **Audience** - Who is reading this? (e.g., SMB owners, developers, marketers)
4. **Tone** - Professional, casual, technical, friendly, authoritative.
5. **CTA** - What should the reader do after reading? (sign up, buy, contact, share)
6. **Word count** - 500 or 1500 (or custom).
7. **References** - Any sources, competitors, or inspiration links.

If any of these are missing, ask the client before writing.

### Step 2: Keyword Research Outline

Before writing, create a structured outline:

```markdown
## Content Outline

**Title:** {SEO-optimized title with primary keyword}
**Primary Keyword:** {keyword} (target density: 1-2%)
**Secondary Keywords:** {kw1}, {kw2}
**Search Intent:** {informational | transactional | navigational}
**Target Word Count:** {count}

### Structure
1. Introduction (hook + problem statement + what they will learn)
2. {H2 Section 1} - {keyword angle}
3. {H2 Section 2} - {keyword angle}
4. {H2 Section 3} - {keyword angle}
5. {H2 Section 4 - optional} - {keyword angle}
6. Conclusion (summary + CTA)
```

Share this outline with the client for approval before writing the full post.

### Step 3: Writing

Follow these rules for every blog post:

**SEO Rules:**
- Primary keyword in: title, H1, first 100 words, one H2, meta description, URL slug.
- Secondary keywords distributed naturally through body text.
- Keyword density: 1-2% for primary, 0.5-1% for secondary.
- Internal links: Suggest 2-3 relevant internal link placements.
- External links: Include 1-2 authoritative external sources.
- Meta description: 150-160 characters, includes primary keyword, compelling CTA.

**Readability Rules:**
- Sentences: Max 20 words average. Mix short and long.
- Paragraphs: Max 3-4 sentences. Use whitespace generously.
- Use bullet points and numbered lists for scanability.
- Include at least one image suggestion per 500 words (describe what to use).
- Use transition words: "However," "Additionally," "For example," "Here is why."
- Target Flesch Reading Ease score: 60+ (8th-grade level).

**Structure Rules:**
- Hook in the first sentence. No throat-clearing introductions.
- Every H2 section should be self-contained and valuable on its own.
- End every section with a bridge to the next.
- Conclusion must restate the key takeaway and include a clear CTA.

### Step 4: SEO Metadata

Provide these with every blog post:

```markdown
---
title: "{SEO title, 50-60 chars}"
description: "{Meta description, 150-160 chars}"
slug: "{url-friendly-slug-with-keyword}"
keywords: ["{primary}", "{secondary1}", "{secondary2}"]
author: "{client name or brand}"
date: "{ISO8601}"
---
```
