What the brief should contain

A strong brief reduces revision cycles because the writer, editor, and SEO owner all start from the same assumptions. The document should define the target query, article angle, internal links, and conversion intent before drafting begins.

That keeps the final article aligned to both rankings and revenue.

  • Primary query, supporting queries, and search intent
  • Target reader stage and the angle the article should own
  • Required product, collection, or service links
  • CTA direction, proof points, and measurement notes

A quick checklist

  1. Define the main keyword and search intent
  2. List required internal links before writing starts
  3. Specify the article angle and commercial goal
  4. Use the brief in every stage from drafting to QA
