Examples show truncated article bodies rather than full concrete output—include at least one fully written example article (or a substantial excerpt) to demonstrate actual prose quality and keyword integration.
Workflow14 / 15
Progress:
- Step 1: Clarify topic, target audience, and primary keyword (ask only if truly missing; otherwise infer from topic)
- Step 2: Research-style keyword mapping (1 primary keyword, 3-5 secondary/LSI keywords)
- Step 3: Draft SEO metadata (title tag ≤60 chars, meta description ≤155 chars, keyword-rich slug)
- Step 4: Build article outline (H1, 4-6 H2 sections, H3 sub-points where useful)
- Step 5: Write ~1,500-word article following outline, weaving keywords naturally (avoid stuffing)
- Step 6: Add intro hook, conclusion with CTA, and suggested image alt-text
- Step 7: Final SEO pass — check keyword density (1-2%), readability, heading hierarchy, meta completeness
Step Details
Step 1 — Topic & Keyword Setup
- Primary keyword: the exact phrase most likely searched (e.g., "travel vlogging tips for beginners")
- Secondary keywords: variations, long-tail phrases, related gear/destination terms
- Audience: aspiring vloggers, travel content creators, or budget backpackers — adjust tone accordingly
Step 2 — Metadata
- Title tag: Primary keyword near the front, include a power word (Ultimate, Essential, Proven) or number
- Meta description: Include primary keyword, a benefit, and implicit CTA ("Learn how...", "Discover...")
- URL slug: lowercase, hyphenated, primary keyword only, no stop words
- Labels: 3-5 Blogger-style tags (e.g., Travel Vlogging, Gear Guides, Solo Travel)
Step 3 — Article Structure
- H1: Compelling, keyword-inclusive title (can match or slightly vary from title tag)
- Intro (100-150 words): hook + problem + promise of value, primary keyword in first 100 words
- 4-6 H2 sections (200-300 words each): practical, scannable, list/numbered where relevant
- H3 subsections for detailed breakdowns (gear specs, step-by-step, pros/cons)
- Conclusion (100-150 words): recap + CTA (subscribe, comment, watch linked vlog)
- Suggested image placements with SEO alt-text (e.g., "drone shot of Bali rice terraces for travel vlog")
Step 4 — SEO Polish
- Keyword density 1-2%, synonyms/LSI terms spread throughout
- Short paragraphs (2-4 sentences), bullet points, bold key phrases
- Internal link suggestion (e.g., "link to your gear review post")
- External link suggestion (e.g., link to a destination's official tourism site for authority)

Recommendation▾
Clarify how to handle cases where no specific destination or niche angle is given—provide a default fallback topic framework.
Best Practices
- Front-load the primary keyword in title, H1, URL, and first paragraph
- Write for humans first — SEO structure should feel invisible to the reader
- Use numbers and specifics ("7 gear essentials", "under $50") to boost CTR
- Keep sentences and paragraphs short for mobile readability (Blogger traffic skews mobile)
- Always suggest 2-3 image alt-text options since visuals matter heavily in travel content
- End every article with a clear CTA tied to vlog content (watch, subscribe, comment)
- Vary heading phrasing — don't repeat the exact keyword in every H2
Common Pitfalls
- Don't keyword-stuff; density above 2-3% reads as spammy and hurts rankings
- Don't exceed 60 characters in title tags or 155 in meta descriptions (they get truncated)
- Don't skip the H1 or use multiple H1s — one per article
- Don't write generic filler intros; hook with a specific scenario or question
- Don't forget labels/tags — Blogger uses these for on-site categorization and discovery
- Don't ignore word count target; articles under 1,200 words tend to underperform for this niche
