Write SEO copy from an evidence-based brief

SEO copy should make a page easier to find and more useful when someone arrives. Repeating a target phrase cannot repair an unclear offer or missing facts. Start with a brief that connects the reader's question to information your organisation can accurately provide and maintain.

Specify the reader's decision

Name the audience, the question and the action the page should support. Collect the product facts, service boundaries and objections needed to answer it. Review search language as a clue to vocabulary, not an instruction to insert every variation into headings or force an exact phrase into every paragraph.

Build the answer before polishing

Outline the explanation in a logical sequence: direct answer, supporting evidence, useful comparison and next step. Add examples that clarify difficult choices. Keep factual statements distinct from assumptions and opinions. If information is unavailable, request it or narrow the claim instead of filling the gap with plausible-sounding detail.

Edit for usefulness and accuracy

Ask a knowledgeable reviewer to verify statements and a representative reader to find the answer. Remove repeated introductions, unsupported superlatives and sections that do not advance the task. Check titles, headings and links after publication. Maintain ownership so outdated details can be corrected rather than abandoned.

Put the method to work

Illustrative example

Illustrative brief: a maintenance provider replaces vague copy about 'quality solutions' with service coverage, preparation steps, exclusions and a clear enquiry route. The rewrite uses customer vocabulary naturally and avoids claiming prices or response times the business has not confirmed.

Questions & answers

Is there an ideal keyword density?

A fixed repetition percentage is not a useful writing target. Aim for a complete, natural answer with accurate terminology and a clear purpose.

Can AI drafts be published unchecked?

No. Review factual accuracy, originality, relevance and accountability. A fluent draft still needs an editor who understands the subject.
