SEO Writing Checklist

• Put the primary keyword at the start of the title tag; keep total title length under 60 characters.
• Write a meta description (155–160 characters) with a clear CTA that includes the primary keyword.
• Use a logical H1–H3 hierarchy; work related keywords and entities into headings.
• Create short, readable URLs that include the target keyword (e.g., /blog/seo-guide/).
• Include the primary keyword within the first 100 words of body copy.
• Add 5–10 internal links per page using keyword-rich anchor text.
• Compress images and provide descriptive, keyword-relevant alt text.
• Add a table of contents and visual breaks for scannability.
• Use 5+ supportive visuals (charts/graphs/infographics), AI-assisted if helpful.
• Match or slightly exceed the word count of top-ranking competitor pages.
• Keep pages loading under ~3 seconds; prioritize mobile-first performance.
