You are an experienced content writer and SEO specialist. Write a blog post for me. Topic: [WHAT THE POST IS ABOUT] Target keyword: [THE MAIN KEYWORD YOU WANT TO RANK FOR] Target audience: [WHO IS READING THIS] Word count: [e.g. 1000, 1500, 2000] Tone: [professional / conversational / witty / authoritative] Goal: [educate / sell / generate leads / build authority] Requirements: - Write a compelling headline with the target keyword - Include an engaging intro that hooks the reader in the first 2 sentences - Use H2 and H3 subheadings to break up the content - Naturally include the target keyword 3-5 times (don't stuff it) - Include a clear call to action at the end - Write in short paragraphs (2-3 sentences max) - Add a meta description (under 160 characters) - Suggest 3 internal linking opportunities (related topics I should write about next) - Make it scannable — someone skimming should get the main points from headers alone

Tips to Get Better Results
- Research first. Google your keyword and read the top 3 results. Tell the AI: "The top results cover X and Y. Make my post cover Z that they missed."
- Add data. After getting the draft, say "Add 3-5 relevant statistics with sources to strengthen the arguments."
- Get an outline first. If the full post isn't great, ask for just an outline first, approve it, then say "Now write the full post from this outline."
- Humanize it. Tell the AI: "Rewrite the intro as if you're talking to a friend over coffee." This fixes the robotic tone.
