📝 Content Creation Workflow

SEO University methodology for high-ranking, conversion-optimized content

1 Run Competitive Analysis Required

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.

"keyword": "your target keyword",
"location": "target city"

2 Apply EMQ Placement Rules

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
⚠️ Keyword Density is DEAD

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.

3 Fill the Content Brief

Use the Content Brief Template for every piece of content. It ensures you capture all required data before writing.

✅ Brief = Blueprint

A completed brief means the writer can execute without asking questions. No blanks = quality content.

4 Write Using Page Copy Templates

Follow the Page Copy Template SOP for the specific page type you're creating:

💡 Dual Intent Rule

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.

5 Run Pre-Publish QA

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)
Generic phrases ZERO ("leading provider", "team of experts")
External link 1+ to authoritative source
