When a user requests SEO content, run these nine steps:

1. Gather Requirements — confirm primary and secondary keywords, word count, content type, audience, intent, tone, CTA, and competitors.
2. Load CORE-EEAT Constraints — apply the 16 high-weight items listed in the companion reference.
3. Research and Plan — analyze the SERP, map keywords, and choose the content angle.
4. Create Optimized Title — keep it concise, keyword-led, and aligned with intent.
5. Write Meta Description — include the keyword, value proposition, and CTA.
6. Structure Content and Write — use a clean H1 > intro > H2/H3 > FAQ > conclusion flow.
7. Apply On-Page Best Practices — manage keyword placement, readability, snippets, and supporting visuals.
8. Add Internal / External Links — include relevant internal and authoritative external links.
9. Run Final SEO + CORE-EEAT Review — score the draft, auto-fix small issues, and surface any decisions that still need the user.
