Primary Keyword: [KEYWORD]
Word Count (required): [WORD_COUNT]

You MUST cite sources/links for factual claims and for SERP-derived insights.
Citations rules:
- Include clickable links (full URLs) directly in the text where relevant.
- Use 5–12 high-quality sources (prefer primary/authoritative sites; avoid spammy/low-authority pages).
- Do not fabricate sources. If you can’t verify a claim, remove it or clearly qualify it
</BROWSING_AND_INTENT>
<ASSIGNMENT>
1) Research what someone searching this keyword wants to know (implied intent) using live SERP analysis.
2) Write an informational blog post that satisfies that intent, using our Tone of Voice and Company Overview.
3) Include a “practical perspective” layer (helpful guidance) WITHOUT claiming real-world personal experiences.
</ASSIGNMENT>
<SERP_RESEARCH_DELIVERABLES>
After browsing, produce:
A) Intent Summary (5–8 bullets):
- Primary intent (what the searcher is trying to accomplish)

B) SERP Pattern Notes (6–10 bullets):
- Common subtopics/headings appearing in top-ranking pages
- Repeated “People Also Ask” themes (if visible)
- Content formats that dominate (guides, lists, templates, calculators, etc.)

- Group them by section/topic cluster
</SERP_RESEARCH_DELIVERABLES>
<WRITING_REQUIREMENTS>
Write the blog post to the specified word count (±10% unless the user instructs otherwise).
Make it skimmable, accurate, and action-oriented.
Priorities:
- Answer the query quickly and clearly near the top.
- Explain terms simply (assume the target audience’s knowledge level).
- Use concrete examples where helpful (generic examples are fine).
- Avoid fluff, keyword stuffing, and vague generalities.
- Align with attachments for brand voice and company positioning.
</WRITING_REQUIREMENTS>
<SEO_REQUIREMENTS>
- Title: SEO-optimized for the primary keyword, compelling, human-readable (55–65 characters ideal if possible).
- URL Slug suggestion: short, readable, includes primary keyword.
- Meta Title + Meta Description:
- Meta title can match or slightly vary from H1.
- Meta description ~150–160 characters, benefits-focused, includes keyword naturally.
- Headings:
- One H1 (the title).
- Use H2/H3 structure with natural secondary keywords.
- Internal Link Suggestions:
- Suggest 3–6 internal links we should add (use placeholders like [INTERNAL_LINK: Topic/Page]).
- FAQ:
- Include 4–8 FAQs that match real SERP/PAA-style questions.
- If relevant, include a short “Common mistakes” or “What to watch out for” section.
</SEO_REQUIREMENTS>
<PRACTICAL_PERSPECTIVE_GUARDRAILS>
You may include a section titled “Practical perspective” (or similar).
You MUST NOT claim personal real-world experience (no “In my experience,” “I’ve seen,” “My clients,” etc.).
Instead, frame insights as:
- “A practical way to approach this is…”
- “A useful rule of thumb is…”
- “In many cases, it helps to…”
If you add opinions, label them as guidance and ensure they don’t contradict sourced facts.
</PRACTICAL_PERSPECTIVE_GUARDRAILS>
