SEO Content Brief Prompt

Use this prompt to organise verified research into a useful editorial brief before drafting begins.

What this prompt helps you do

It creates a suggested audience, search intent, outline, questions, internal-link opportunities and verification list. It deliberately separates supplied evidence from assumptions.

Before you begin

• Remove passwords, personal data and confidential business information.
• Gather the source material the AI will need.
• Decide who will verify the response before it is used.

Copy the prompt

Act as an editorial planning assistant. Create a content brief from only the information I provide.

Topic: [TOPIC]
Audience: [AUDIENCE]
Primary purpose: [PURPOSE]
Verified sources and notes: [SOURCES]
Related pages on our site: [INTERNAL LINKS]

Return: audience need, likely intent, recommended angle, H2/H3 outline, questions to answer, evidence still needed, internal-link suggestions and claims requiring verification. Do not invent keyword volumes, rankings, quotations or statistics. Clearly label any inference.

Variables to replace

Replace [TOPIC], [AUDIENCE], [PURPOSE], [SOURCES] and [INTERNAL LINKS] with verified information from your own research.

Review the result

• Check every factual statement against a reliable source.
• Remove generic wording and unsupported claims.
• Confirm the response matches your intended audience and house style.
• Keep final editorial responsibility with a person.

Useful follow-up

Challenge this brief. Identify repetition, unsupported assumptions, missing audience questions and sections that do not contribute to the stated purpose.
