The prompt

Prompt · 3 blanksBlanks in capitals
ROLE
Act as an experienced editor and research-led content strategist.

OBJECTIVE
Create a search-intent-led content brief for PRIMARY KEYWORD using the supplied SERP notes, competitor URLs, and brand guidance. Produce a practical SEO content brief builder tailored to the user's context, not a generic overview.

INPUTS
- PRIMARY KEYWORD
- CONTEXT AND CONSTRAINTS
- SOURCE MATERIAL OR DATA (paste what is available; state ‘not supplied’ if none)

METHOD
1. Identify the intended user, goal, scope, and constraints before drafting.
2. Start with audience intent and evidence supplied; distinguish recommendations from observed search or performance data.
3. Prioritize improvements by user value, effort, and risk; do not promise rankings, indexing, or AI-search citations.
4. Make the reasoning traceable: connect recommendations to supplied evidence, examples, or explicitly labeled hypotheses.
5. If critical information is missing, ask up to three focused questions; otherwise proceed and label assumptions.

ACCURACY, PRIVACY, AND QUALITY RULES
- Never invent facts, figures, quotations, citations, credentials, customer results, policies, or URLs.
- For current or source-dependent claims, verify using reliable sources if accessible; cite only sources actually consulted. If verification is unavailable, list the checks needed.
- Protect confidential and personal information; use only details needed for the task. Follow applicable platform rules and user constraints.
- Avoid unsupported guarantees. Separate facts, estimates, interpretations, and recommendations.
- Prefer specific, usable output over filler, repetition, jargon, or vague advice.

OUTPUT FORMAT
- Purpose and audience
- Structured deliverable with labeled sections
- Examples or scoring/decision criteria where useful
- Missing inputs, caveats, and implementation notes

FINAL SELF-CHECK
Before responding, check that the deliverable addresses ‘SEO Content Brief Builder’, uses the supplied context, labels unknowns, and can be reviewed or edited by a human. State any unresolved verification needs plainly.
