Before writing ANY content, you must analyze what's already ranking. This tells you what to write, how long it should be, and what signals to match.

EMQ (Exact Match Query) placement is precise. Get it wrong and you either under-optimize or trigger spam filters.
| Element | EMQ? | What to Do |
|---|---|---|
| URL | ✅ YES | /divorce-lawyer-queens/ |
| H1 / Title Tag | ✅ YES | EMQ front-loaded in headline |
| Image Filenames | ✅ YES | divorce-lawyer-queens-court.jpg |
| H2-H6 Headers | ❌ NO | Use entities/related terms instead |
| Meta Description | ❌ NO | Benefit-focused, natural language |
| Body Copy | ⚠️ CHECK | Only if top 3 competitors have it |
| Navigation | ❌ NO | Keep nav clean and user-focused |
| Schema Markup | ❌ NO | Use natural service names |
Don't count keyword percentages. Write naturally. If you're thinking about density, you're doing it wrong. The EMQ rules above are your only optimization targets.
Use the Content Brief Template for every piece of content. It ensures you capture all required data before writing.
A completed brief means the writer can execute without asking questions. No blanks = quality content.
Follow the Page Copy Template SOP for the specific page type you're creating:
Every service page must address BOTH emergency intent ("I need this now") AND informational intent ("I'm researching"). Use TLDR for scanners, body for researchers.
Before any page goes live, verify these requirements:
| Check | Requirement |
|---|---|
| Primary keyword + city | In first 100 words |
| Neighborhoods | 5+ mentioned by name |
| County | Included at least once |
| TLDR summary | 5 bullets at top of page |
| Testimonials | City-specific with name + neighborhood |
| Meta title | Under 60 chars / 600px width |
| Meta description | Best content in first 120 chars (mobile cutoff) |

| Element | Target |

| H1 Headline | 8-15 words |
