Companion guide: https://withmeridian.org/blog/seo-content-strategy

Use one copy per website. Keep an agency's acquisition queries separate from its clients' product queries.
Unknown metrics remain unknown. Do not sum synonym volumes or average difficulty scores.

## 1. Reader and business event

- Website / keyword owner:
- Market, language and buying model:
- Reader and task:
- Real product capability or evidence:
- Desired next action and business event definition:
- Available baseline / date / event owner / missing data:

## 2. Keyword evidence

| Exact query | Volume | KD | Tool / market / language | Report period / collected date | Refresh warning | SERP date / task / representative URLs |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| | unknown | unknown | | | | |

## 3. Existing-page inventory and queue

| Reader task | Current URL | Actual answer / missing evidence | Decision: keep/update/consolidate/create/defer | Primary URL / status | Why now or why deferred | Owner |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| | | | | | | |

## 4. Worked reference — Meridian's own site, not a client result

- Task: budget for a scoped SEO audit and compare proposals.
- seo audit cost: US volume 1,000 / KD 22.
- seo audit pricing: US volume 720 / KD 19.
- how much does an seo audit cost: US volume 390 / KD 17.
- Source: Semrush US, September 2026 report, collected 2026-09-14; not refreshed here.
- Primary URL: /blog/seo-audit-cost (Chinese counterpart: /zh/blog/seo-audit-cost).
- Decision: one cost guide for this task; retire the old candidate /blog/technical-seo-audit-cost.
- Distinct service task: /services/seo-services/technical-seo-audit.
- Required answers: dated supplier offers, scope, implementation cost, quote comparison, next step.
- Evidence: own-site MER-01 technical record explains a usable finding, not a traffic uplift.
- Measured inquiry uplift from this content: not established.

## 5. Brief for one selected page

- Reader question and intent boundary:
- Exact queries and evidence IDs:
- URL and state (published/local/candidate):
- Required sections / example / usable resource:
- Product claims and sources:
- Internal links and next action:
- Research / writing / subject review / design / development / publishing owners:
- Acceptance checks and review date:

## 6. Release and measurement

- [ ] Answer and evidence reviewed
- [ ] Real tools/downloads work; integrations and capabilities are verified
- [ ] Internal links, language equivalents, mobile layout and next action tested
- [ ] Relevant indexing and metadata checks complete
- [ ] Release and other concurrent changes recorded
- [ ] Search, page behavior and business events separated
- [ ] Missing data, observation window and next decision recorded
