seo-long-form-article-blueprint

A detailed plan for researching and writing articles intended to appear in search-engine results and lead readers toward an offer. SEO, or search-engine optimization, means shaping content so search engines can understand and rank it.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to choose keywords, research an audience, outline long articles, and connect useful information with a measurable next action.
Why use it?
It turns article writing into a defined process with a target reader, search topics, business goal, and checks for competition and reader intent.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

seo-long-form-article-blueprint scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 2d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Article Creation Blueprint: The Systematic Method

Overview

This blueprint provides a systematic approach for creating high-converting, SEO-optimized articles that drive traffic and conversions. Use this framework for any article topic.

Core Principles

1. Always Start with the End Goal

  • Primary Objective: Drive conversions to your primary offer
  • Secondary Objectives: Build authority, provide genuine value, rank on Google
  • Success Metric: Clear conversion tracking per article

2. Audience-First Approach

Define your specific avatar before writing:

  • Who are they? (job, age, situation)
  • What's their biggest pain point?
  • What outcome do they desperately want?
  • What's stopping them from achieving it?

Phase 1: Strategic Research (30-45 minutes)

Keyword Research Protocol

Research Framework:

  1. Start with 5 keyword angles:

    • [Main topic] + "tutorial"
    • "How to [achieve outcome] with AI"
    • "[Problem] solution for [audience]"
    • "AI [tool/method] for beginners"
    • "[Outcome] without [common obstacle]"
  2. Evaluation Criteria:

    • Search volume: 100-50,000 (sweet spot: 1,000-10,000)
    • Competition: LOW to MEDIUM only
    • Intent: Informational or Commercial
    • Relevance: Direct connection to your offer

Statistical Research Protocol

Research Requirements:

  • Find 3-5 credible statistics that support your argument
  • Focus on: cost savings, time savings, success rates, industry trends
  • ALWAYS provide source links in the article
  • Prioritize data from 2024-2025

Example Search Patterns:

  • "[Topic] ROI statistics [current year]"
  • "[Industry] digital transformation data"
  • "[Tool category] vs traditional methods study"
  • "Small business [topic] challenges statistics"

Phase 2: Structured Interview Process

Interview Framework

Purpose: Extract authentic stories and specific details that create connection

Question Categories:

  1. Context Discovery
    • What's the scope? (word count, depth, format)
    • Who exactly is reading this?
    • What action should they take after reading?

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
