SEO Article Brief Workflow
Trigger an n8n automation from a Notion keyword row and generate a structured article brief using Claude — covering headline options, meta description, search intent analysis and an H2/H3 outline. AI produces a working first draft; search intent verification, internal linking and SERP calibration require human review against real data.
✓ Verified — structure, prompt resource and implementation logic reviewed by Kairox. Credentials and environment-specific settings still require your configuration.
