The resource
Copy and adapt. Do not paste blind.
Workflow:
1. Ingest topic, keyword cluster, ICP notes, and commercial goal.
2. Pull or import SERP observations.
3. Extract intent patterns, content gaps, and proof opportunities.
4. Score what the content must achieve for the business, not just for search.
5. Generate a brief with thesis, angle, audience, proof needs, CTA, and outline.
6. Send the brief for approval before drafting starts.
Rules:
- Do not copy competitor structure blindly.
- Separate search intent from business intent.
- Flag missing proof or weak differentiation before the writing stage.When to Use This
Use this when content teams or founders want AI help upstream in the planning layer, not just at the drafting layer.
It is particularly useful for SEO and thought-leadership workflows where article quality depends heavily on the strength of the brief.
Why It Works
The workflow works because it inserts judgement before generation. That is the missing layer in most AI content systems.
By combining SERP context with ICP and business goals, the brief becomes something worth writing from rather than a dressed-up keyword outline.
How to Customise
Swap in your own SERP collection method, scoring rubric, and approval step.
If you already have editorial standards, add them to the brief output so the writer stage inherits them automatically.
Limitations
This blueprint improves content planning, but it does not replace original insight or real proof.
If your product differentiation is weak, the brief will expose that. It cannot invent a better strategy for you.
Model Notes
Claude is strong at combining search and audience context into a cleaner thesis.
GPT is useful when the workflow needs more rigid JSON-like outputs between steps. Model-agnostic overall if the planning stage remains explicit.
