The workflow in 3 phases

Use this as your predictable “Monday → Publish” checklist.

Research

Pick a topic that can rank, find a primary keyword, and map supporting keywords to headings.

Primary keyword: "online appointment booking software"
Supporting: "booking software for teams", "calendar scheduling tool", "reduce no-shows"
Write

Create a scannable outline, write for search intent, and add internal links to key pages.

H2: How to choose X
H2: FAQs
Optimize + Publish

Finalize URL slug, image filenames, alt text, titles, and on-page checks before going live.

SEO-friendly URL slugs

Keep slugs short, lowercase, hyphenated, and keyword-based.

Image optimization

Every image should have a meaningful filename, title, and alt text.

  • ✓ Use descriptive filenames (not IMG_4729.png)
  • ✓ Alt text describes what’s visible (and helps accessibility)
  • ✓ Compress images to reduce load time

The “publish today” checklist

If you do only one thing, follow this list in order.

  • 1 Pick a topic with clear intent (what does the searcher want?)
  • 2 Choose a primary keyword + 5–15 supporting keywords
  • 3 Build an outline (H2s answer intent; H3s add depth)
  • 4 Write 1,200–2,000 words (examples + clarity > fluff)
  • 5 Create an SEO URL slug (short, keyword-based)
  • 6 Add 3–8 internal links
  • 7 Add 3–5 images (featured + in-content visuals)
  • 8 Optimize image filename + title + alt text
  • 9 Final SEO pass (title, meta, headers, mobile formatting)
  • 10 Publish, then repeat consistently
