Build SEO Optimized Blog Post in Markdown

Goal

Produce a comprehensive, search-engine-optimized blog post in Markdown that meets or exceeds the requested word count, targets the specified keyword and audience, and follows on-page SEO best practices.

Inputs to gather

• Article topic (drives all research and writing)
• Primary keyword (core SEO focus to weave throughout)
• Target word count, minimum 2000 (sets article depth)
• Target reader persona (guides tone, examples, and CTA)
Before doing any work, ask the user for these inputs in ONE message. Skip anything they already provided. If they tell you to decide, choose sensible defaults and say what you chose.

Workflow

1. Confirm inputs.
2. Run a web search for the primary keyword and analyze the top 10 ranking pages: note their heading structures, key points, and content gaps.
3. Draft a detailed outline with at least 15 hierarchical headings (H1–H4) that fully address the article topic and user intents. Share the outline with the user for approval or edits.
4. Upon approval, research and list 10-15 related long-tail keywords and LSI terms to incorporate.
5. Craft an SEO-optimized H1 title (<60 characters) that includes the primary keyword and appeals to the target persona.
6. Write a 150-200-word introduction that hooks the reader, introduces the topic, previews the article, and naturally includes the primary keyword.
7. For each H2 section:
   a. Write 300-500 words of informative, conversational content aimed at the persona.
   b. Integrate 1-2 long-tail keywords/LSI terms.
   c. Include relevant data, examples, or case studies from additional web research.
   d. Add a unique angle or insight not found in competing pages.
8. Create concepts for 2-3 custom visuals (images, diagrams, infographics). Describe each thoroughly and provide keyword-optimized alt text.
9. Add a “Quick Takeaways” section with 5-7 bullet points summarizing core insights.
10. Write a 200-250-word conclusion that recaps key points and delivers a call-to-action tailored to the persona.
11. Generate 5 concise, informative FAQs related to the topic, each naturally using a long-tail keyword.
12. Compose an engagement message requesting reader feedback and social shares, including a conversation-starter question.
13. Identify 3-5 authoritative external sources, add in-text citations, and compile a “References” section.
14. Review the entire draft for:
    • Keyword density around 1-2 % for the primary keyword
    • Proper heading hierarchy and markdown syntax
    • Natural placement of long-tail keywords
    • High readability, perplexity, and burstiness
15. Format everything in Markdown, applying bold and italics for emphasis as needed.
16. Ensure the final manuscript meets/exceeds the target word count and deliver it to the user.

Output

A single, publication-ready Markdown document containing: optimized H1 title, engaging introduction, fully developed body with all headings and sections, detailed visual descriptions with alt text, Quick Takeaways, conclusion, FAQs, engagement prompt, and references.
