# SEO Content Briefs

A brief built from the pages that currently rank: the angle, the outline, the questions to answer and the ground to cover — settled before anyone starts writing.

## Ask it like this

- Create a content brief for my main keyword
- Brief an article from a SERP winner
- Outline a comparison page brief

## What you get

### The angle, decided

What kind of page this has to be to rank — a guide, a comparison, a tool page — read off the results Google is actually rewarding for the term.

### An outline with substance

Sections, the questions each one has to answer, the entities to mention, and roughly how much room each deserves.

### A writer can start from it

Whether that writer is a person or the content agent. The brief is the handover, so the argument about scope happens before the draft, not after.

## How it works

1. **Connect your website** — One workspace per site. It crawls what you have, learns what the business does, and — if you connect Google Search Console — starts from your own measured performance rather than from market averages.
2. **Ask for the job** — Pick the skill or let Auto route it, and describe what you want in a sentence. It buys the data it needs from DataForSEO and Ahrefs instead of estimating it, and reads the live results for the terms in question.
3. **Review, then decide** — The findings land in chat and are saved to the project, so the next question builds on them. Nothing reaches your site unless you approve it — the only thing that can publish is an article, to a CMS you connected.

## Where the data comes from

- Live Google SERP
- Live crawl of the ranking pages
- DataForSEO — keyword metrics

## Frequently asked questions

### What is in the brief?

The target keyword and its metrics, the search intent, the page type that currently wins, a section-by-section outline with the questions each section answers, the entities and subtopics to cover, internal links to include, and the title and meta description to aim for.

### Can I hand the brief to a human writer?

That is what it is for. The brief is written to be read by a person, and it says what to cover and why rather than only listing keywords to include.

### Can it brief an update to a page I already have?

Yes. Point it at the existing URL and it briefs the gap: what the ranking pages cover that yours does not, and what to change rather than what to write from nothing.
