content-preflightlisted

Run the 12-point pre-write checklist before writing any SEO article or page. Turns a target keyword into a research-backed content brief: search intent, content gaps, real People Also Ask, semantic terms, entities to cite, internal links, the EEAT angle, and an outline. Use this BEFORE writing any piece of SEO content so the page is built on what actually ranks, not a guess. It stops at the brief. Writing to the brief is the next step (yours, or your writer's).

List the top 8-10 ranking URLs, the dominant format (guide / listicle / comparison / tool / product), and rough word count. This is the bar to clear. 2. **Content gaps.** Read what those pages cover. Note what NONE of them cover, and what only one or two do. The gap is usually where the new page wins. 3. **Real People Also Ask.** Pull the actual PAA / "related questions" Google shows for the term. Never invent these. They become H2s and the FAQ schema. 4. **The AI Overview.** Check whether an AI Overview answers the query outright. If it fully satisfies the user, flag it: this keyword may not be worth writing for (the click no longer happens). Prefer queries where the user still has to act, go, or book. 5. **Search intent.** Classify it: informational, co
