SEO Content Briefs
A managed workflow that scans the live SERP for a target keyword, finds where competitors are weak, and produces a brief structured to outrank - keyword targets, outline, and gaps in one pass.
What the managed workflow does
Reads the SERP cold
Top-10 ranked pages, featured snippets, and related questions parsed for what's actually winning today.
Finds competitor gaps
What every top result covers, what they all miss - flagged as the wedge for your post.
Writes the brief structure
Primary and supporting keywords, H2 / H3 outline, target word count, and intent classification.
Hands off to writers
A brief your writer or agent can act on - not a Google Doc with a keyword list at the top.
Live SERP scanned, gaps marked, brief structured to outrank
1,840K Searches · 5 Top Results Parsed · Target · Rank 3
Drawn from external SERP
Synthesized into brief
Drawn from external SERP
Top-10 ranked pages. Live URLs, titles, meta, and on-page structure scraped at the time of brief.
Featured snippets + PAA. What Google's elevating today - answer length, format, and target structure.
Domain authority signal. DR, page authority, backlink profile pulled to size whether the keyword is winnable.
Search intent classification. Informational, commercial, navigational - drives which structure wins the SERP.
Synthesized into brief
Primary + supporting keywords. Primary anchor plus 6–10 supporting variants - mapped to H2s, not stuffed into prose.
H2/H3 outline. Hierarchical outline structured to match dominant SERP intent and beat it on depth.
Competitor gaps. What every top result misses - flagged as a 'wedge' subhead with talking points.
Target word count + meta. Length, meta description, and schema notes - so writers don't guess what wins.
What you get, every week
A brief that's actionable
Outline, keywords, gaps, and intent - your writer or agent can draft from it without follow-up.
A defensible target
Brief tells you what realistic rank looks like - DR, intent fit, and SERP density factored in.
A library that compounds
Briefs and resulting posts indexed against your keyword universe so coverage gets denser.
