Usage Tips
- Start with the headline — use 3 formula variations, pick the strongest
- Fill placeholders sequentially — don't jump around; the template flow is intentional
- Keep the SEO checklist open while writing — it's easier to optimize inline than to retrofit
- Customize the CTA to match your current funnel priority (email list vs product vs consultation)
- Batch-produce — pick 4-5 templates, fill them in one sitting, schedule over 2 weeks
Best Practices
- One primary keyword per post. Place it in the title, first paragraph, one H2, and meta description.
- Use H2 and H3 hierarchy correctly. Screen readers and Google both depend on heading structure.
- Front-load value. Put the answer or key insight in the first 200 words — don't bury it.
-
Internal link to 2-3 related posts in every article. Use the
[INTERNAL_LINK]placeholders. - Aim for the recommended word count but never pad. Shorter and complete beats longer and fluffy.
