155 characters max, includes {{keyword}}, compelling click trigger.

## Introduction (150 words)
- Hook: Open with a surprising stat, question, or bold statement
- Problem: What pain point does the reader have?
- Promise: What will they gain by reading?
- Transition to first section

## Body Sections
For each section (aim for 4-6):
- H2 heading (includes related keyword naturally)
- Key points to cover (3-4 bullets)
- One specific example, stat, or quote placeholder
- Internal/external link opportunity

## Conclusion
- Summary of key takeaways (3 bullets)
- Call to action specific to {{goal}}
- Closing hook that ties back to the opening

## SEO Checklist
- Related keywords to include naturally
- Image alt text suggestions
- Suggested internal links

Tips

• Include your primary keyword in the first section to provide context early
• The hook in the introduction is what determines if people keep reading - spend time on it
• Use the SEO checklist while writing not after to avoid awkward keyword stuffing
• Adapt the word count per section based on which points deserve the most depth
