Tips for Best Results
- 1.Provide actual competitor URLs from the SERP instead of generic descriptions—this helps the AI identify specific gaps and angles you can own.
- 2.Include your target audience's pain points and business goals in the context section; this ensures the brief aligns with conversion intent, not just traffic.
- 3.Request the brief in a specific format (Markdown, Google Docs template, Notion format) to save time on reformatting before sharing with writers.
- 4.Ask the AI to flag any keywords with high commercial intent separately so you can prioritize product-focused content sections and CTAs accordingly.
