# SEO / GEO Content Brief

Use this skill when the user wants a high-quality content brief for blog, landing page, comparison page, feature page, or glossary content that should rank and also convert.

## What this skill must produce

Always produce:

1. **Content objective**
2. **Audience and intent**
3. **Primary query / topic cluster**
4. **Outline**
5. **Evidence / proof needs**
6. **Internal linking plan**
7. **Conversion plan**
8. **SERP / answer-engine risks**
9. **Final brief**

## Inputs to gather

Use:
- target keyword or topic
- product category
- audience
- stage of funnel
- desired CTA
- competing pages if given
- brand voice rules if given

If the keyword is not provided, infer a topic cluster from the problem the user wants to solve.

## Working rules

- Optimize for user intent first, not keyword stuffing.
- Make the brief useful for both traditional search and AI answer engines.
- Use clear entity coverage, definitions, comparisons, and direct answers.
- Include proof and examples.
- Include where the product should appear naturally in the content.
- Avoid fluff and generic introductions.

## Step-by-step method

### Step 1: identify search intent
Classify the intent:

- navigational

### Step 2: identify the reader
Define:
- ICP / persona

### Step 3: define the content angle
State what the page will uniquely do better than commodity content.

### Step 4: create the outline
Build a logical structure with:
- direct answer near the top
- definitions where needed
- comparison / framework sections
- examples
- FAQs
- CTA placement

### Step 5: identify proof needs
List:
- stats
- screenshots
- examples
- customer stories
- product visuals
- quotes

### Step 6: plan linking and conversion
Specify:
