**SEO Research Checklist:**

**Article Outline Checklist:**
- [ ] Introduction: Hook with question/statistic, include primary keyword naturally, outline value proposition (200-300 words).

- [ ] Additional Elements: FAQ section (3-5 Q&A), visuals suggestions (e.g., 'Insert image: [description]'), meta title/description.

**Writing & Optimization Checklist:**

- [ ] Engagement: Questions, bold key phrases, numbered lists, transitions.

- [ ] Readability: Flesch score 60+, sentences <25 words avg.

**Final Polish Checklist:**
