A people-first content brief for search and AI discovery that keeps sources, intent, internal expertise, and accountability intact.
Start with the decision behind the query
Describe what the reader is trying to understand or decide, what they likely know already, and what a satisfactory answer must make clearer. Keyword variants can help with language, but they should not replace the reader’s actual problem.
Assign evidence before drafting
List primary sources, internal expertise, examples that can be verified, and claims that must not be made without data. Distinguish source facts from the company’s interpretation so the editor can preserve attribution rather than flatten everything into generic advice.
Design a structure that earns each section
Give every heading a question or explanatory job. Remove sections that exist only to repeat target phrases, and specify the internal links that help readers inspect an adjacent concept, service, or practical resource.
Keep editorial accountability visible
Assign an author or reviewing owner, a publication date, and a trigger for substantive review. Automation can organize research or check consistency, but a named owner should decide whether the final page is accurate, distinctive, and useful enough to publish.
