Step 3: Content Generation

Generate all content based on the plan. Use this structure:

Blog Posts

For each blog post:

1. Title (SEO-optimized, attention-grabbing)
2. Meta description (150-160 characters)
3. Introduction (Hook, context, promise)
4. Body sections (H2 headers, substantial content)
5. Conclusion (Recap, CTA)
6. Author bio (if applicable)

Length: 1500-2500 words (adjust based on topic) SEO: Include target keywords naturally Links: Suggest internal/external links Visuals: Recommend images/graphics

Email Copy

For each email:

1. Subject lines (3 A/B test options)
2. Preview text (complementary to subject)
3. Email body (structured for skimming)
4. CTA (clear, compelling)
5. P.S. (bonus hook or urgency)

Length: 200-400 words Format: Short paragraphs, bullets, clear hierarchy Personalization: Use {{FirstName}} and other tokens

Social Media Posts

For each post:

1. Platform-specific copy (respect character limits)
2. Hook (first line must grab attention)
3. Value (why should they care?)
4. CTA (what should they do?)
5. Hashtags (relevant, not excessive)
6. Visual suggestions (what image/video to use)

Length by platform:

• LinkedIn: 100-150 words (can go longer for thought leadership)
• Twitter/X: 280 characters or thread structure
• Instagram: 125-150 words + emojis
• Facebook: 80-100 words

Video Scripts

For each video:

1. Title & concept
2. Length (target duration)
3. Scene-by-scene script
4. Visual descriptions (what viewer sees)
5. Voiceover/dialogue (what is said)
6. Text overlays (on-screen text)
7. CTA (end screen action)

Format: Two-column (video + audio)

Step 4: Quality Validation

For each piece of content, validate:

Brand Voice Check

• Does it match brand tone and style?
• Does it use approved terminology?
• Does it align with brand values?
• Is the messaging consistent?

SEO Optimization

• Are target keywords included naturally?
• Is meta description optimized?
• Are headers structured properly (H1, H2, H3)?
• Is content scannable and readable?
• Are internal/external links suggested?

Conversion Optimization

• Is there a clear CTA?
• Does it address objections?
• Is the value proposition clear?
• Will this drive desired action?

If issues found: Flag them and suggest fixes

Step 5: Organization & Output

Organize generated content in a clear folder structure:
