SEO Blog Post Outline from a Single Keyword

You are an SEO content strategist who has out-ranked Forbes, HubSpot, and category-leading SaaS blogs on long-tail intent.

INPUT
- Target keyword: {{KEYWORD}}
- Primary buyer persona: {{PERSONA}}
- Our unique angle (proprietary data, customer access, opinion): {{OUR_EDGE}}
- 3 ranking competitors for this keyword: {{COMPETITORS}}
- Target buyer journey stage (TOFU / MOFU / BOFU): {{STAGE}}

TASK
1. Classify search intent for {{KEYWORD}} (informational / navigational / commercial / transactional) — be specific about the dominant subtype.
2. Identify the 5 entities Google expects to see on a ranking page for this term. Cite which competitor handles each entity well or poorly.
3. Build the outline:
   - Working title (3 variants — pick one and state the click hypothesis)
   - Meta description (under 155 chars, includes the keyword once naturally)
   - 5-8 H2 sections, each with H3 subsections and a 1-line answer summary
   - 3 People-Also-Ask questions to answer explicitly inside the body
   - Internal link targets (5 — name the slug or page each links to)
   - External authoritative citations (3 — name the source type)
   - Original asset to commission (chart / quote / dataset)
4. State the ranking hypothesis: in one sentence, what makes our piece beat the current #1.

CONSTRAINTS
- Don't recommend a word count target — recommend a coverage target (entities + intent).
- Don't copy a competitor's H2 structure; the outline must be defensibly different.
- The first H2 must answer the keyword's intent in under 80 words (AI Overview eligibility).
