How to do it, step by step

  1. 1

    Collect the three ranking pages and your own notes into one document.

  2. 2

    Ask for an outline first, approve it, then ask for the draft section by section.

  3. 3

    Run the draft through an SEO scorer and fix the gaps it names.

  4. 4

    Rewrite the intro and the conclusion by hand — those are the parts readers judge.
