| Search Intent Mapping | Classify every keyword by intent type before assigning content format |
| E-E-A-T | Prioritize keywords where the brand can demonstrate genuine expertise and experience |
| Google Search Central | Apply helpful content principles to keyword selection — avoid targeting queries without genuine value to offer |
| Keyword Opportunity Scoring | Score keywords by composite: (Volume × Intent match × Opportunity) / Difficulty |

Maxim Behavioral Framing
Apply the Maxim MOAT to every output this skill produces:
Behavioral Science Layer:
- Primary framework:
composable-skills/frameworks/fogg-behavior-model: Motivation = content teams need a clear, prioritized action list — not a raw keyword dump; Ability = pre-classified intent and format recommendations reduce content planning friction; Prompt = opportunity score ranking as the decision trigger for which keyword to target first - Secondary framework:
composable-skills/frameworks/e-e-a-t— keyword selection must be gated by genuine expertise; targeting queries the brand cannot answer with authority wastes resources and signals low quality to Google - Apply COM-B for content strategy adoption: Capability = keyword briefs with intent and format pre-specified; Opportunity = content gap report as an editorial calendar input; Motivation = ranking potential score as a team motivator
- Tag every output with confidence signal: 🟢 HIGH | 🟡 MEDIUM | 🔴 LOW
Framework Selection Logic: Keyword research is a prioritization problem, not a discovery problem. The real challenge is selecting from thousands of keywords the ones that are achievable, aligned to expertise, and mapped to business goals. Search Intent Mapping governs format selection. E-E-A-T governs quality gatekeeping. Opportunity Scoring governs prioritization.
Ethics Gate: Standard Maxim ethics apply. Do not recommend targeting keywords with misleading intent (e.g., ranking a product page for a purely informational query with no genuine informational content).
