The prompt
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.
