Here's a thinking process:
- Analyze User Request:
- Topic: "area of a figure in square units"
- Minimum Length: 900 words
- Language: The title is in English, so the entire article must be in English (per instructions: "If the title is written in English, the article must be written entirely in English.")
- Role: Professional content creator specializing in educational topics
- Requirements:
- No meta opening sentences (no "Okay, here's a comprehensive article...", no "This article will discuss...", no "In this article...")
- Start directly with the main content
- Match language of title (English)
- No explanations about writing process
- No evaluating/commenting on writing process
- Output must begin with first paragraph of article body, without greetings/intros/meta descriptions
- Structure: opening paragraph as meta description with main keyword, clear subheadings (Introduction, Steps, Scientific Explanation, FAQ, Conclusion), bold for emphasis, italic for foreign terms/light emphasis, lists for sequences/important info
- SEO principles: Markdown formatting (H2, H3, bold, lists), main keyword and LSI naturally, avoid keyword stuffing, no external links, original/informative/worthy of backlinks
- Main objectives: Help users produce strong SEO articles, provide informative content that answers questions and expands understanding
- Deconstruct the Topic: "area of a figure in square units"
- What does this mean? Understanding area, measuring in square units (sq cm, sq m, sq in, sq ft, etc.), formulas for basic shapes, conceptual understanding, practical applications.
- Need to cover: definition, why square units, how to calculate area for various shapes (rectangle, square, triangle, circle, composite figures), common misconceptions, real-world relevance, maybe a quick FAQ.
- Outline the Article Structure (mental, must follow instructions):
- The opening paragraph must introduce the topic AND function as a meta description containing the main keyword. It must start directly with the main content. So no "Hello readers, in this article we'll..." kind of thing. I need to jump straight into the topic, but the first paragraph itself should serve as the meta description/intro that includes the main keyword and sets up the article. It needs to be engaging, educational, and contain the focus keyphrase naturally.
- Then subheadings: Introduction, Steps, Scientific Explanation, FAQ, Conclusion. Actually, the instructions say: "Use clear subheadings for every important section such as Introduction, Steps, Scientific Explanation, FAQ, and Conclusion." So I should have these sections. But the opening paragraph already introduces the topic. Maybe the first section is "Introduction" but the opening paragraph is separate? The instruction says: "The opening paragraph should introduce the topic and also function as a meta description containing the main keyword." And then: "Use clear subheadings for every important section such as Introduction, Steps, Scientific Explanation, FAQ, and Conclusion." This could mean the opening paragraph comes before the H2 headings, or the first H2 is "Introduction" and the opening paragraph is part of it. To be safe, I'll structure it so the first paragraph is a standalone introductory paragraph that acts as a meta description, then I'll use H2 headings for the sections. But the instruction also says "Start directly with the main content of the article." and "The output must begin with the first paragraph of the article body, without greetings, introductions, or meta descriptions." Wait, there's a contradiction: "The opening paragraph should introduce the topic and also function as a meta description containing the main keyword." vs "The output must begin with the first paragraph of the article body, without greetings, introductions, or meta descriptions." Actually, re-reading: "Start directly with the main content of the article. Do not explain that the text is an article or SEO content. Do not evaluate or comment on the writing process. The output must begin with the first paragraph of the article body, without greetings, introductions, or meta descriptions." Then later: "The opening paragraph should introduce the topic and also function as a meta description containing the main keyword." I think the intent is that the first paragraph IS the opening paragraph of the article body, and it should introduce the topic and contain the main keyword, but without saying "In this article..." or "Okay here's...". It should just naturally start discussing the topic. So I'll write a paragraph that introduces "area of a figure in square units" naturally, without announcing it. Then I'll follow with H2 subheadings.
Let's plan the structure:
- Paragraph 1: Introduces the topic naturally, includes main keyword "area of a figure in square units", serves as the hook/opening. No "In this article..." phrasing.
- H2: Introduction (or maybe the first paragraph already covers intro, but I'll have an H2 "Introduction" that elaborates, or maybe the sections are Steps, Scientific Explanation, FAQ, Conclusion. In practice, the instruction says "such as Introduction, Steps, Scientific Explanation, FAQ, and Conclusion. Think about it: " I'll use these as H2s, but the first paragraph is separate and precedes them, or the first H2 is "Introduction" and the opening paragraph is part of it. To avoid violating "output must begin with the first paragraph of the article body, without greetings, introductions, or meta descriptions", I'll make the very first line of output a paragraph that introduces the topic, then follow with H2 headings. The H2 "Introduction" could come after, but the first content is that paragraph. Actually, reading carefully: "The opening paragraph should introduce the topic and also function as a meta description containing the main keyword." This suggests the first paragraph is the opening. Think about it: then: "Use clear subheadings for every important section such as Introduction, Steps, Scientific Explanation, FAQ, and Conclusion. That said, " This likely means after the opening paragraph, I use those subheadings. I'll structure it as:
- Opening paragraph (includes main keyword, no meta fluff)
- H2: Introduction (maybe redundant, but instruction says "such as Introduction...Here's the thing — ". That's why i could make the opening paragraph the introduction, and then not have another H2 "Introduction", or I could have the opening paragraph, then H2 "Steps" etc. To be safe, I'll have the opening paragraph, then H2 "Introduction" that briefly overlaps but adds depth, or I'll just follow the list and have the opening paragraph serve as the intro, then H2 "Steps", H2 "Scientific Explanation", H2 "FAQ", H2 "Conclusion". Worth adding: the instruction says "such as Introduction, Steps, Scientific Explanation, FAQ, and Conclusion. " It doesn't require all of them to be separate H2s, but I should include them. Practically speaking, i'll include H2s for each, but the first paragraph will be separate and precede them, or I'll make the first paragraph the intro and then have H2 "Steps" etc. So actually, many SEO articles have the first paragraph as the intro, then H2 headings. Because of that, i'll do: opening paragraph (with keyword), then H2 "Introduction" (but that might duplicate). Let's re-read: "The opening paragraph should introduce the topic and also function as a meta description containing the main keyword." This is a specific instruction. "Use clear subheadings for every important section such as Introduction, Steps, Scientific Explanation, FAQ, and Conclusion." This is another instruction. That's why i think the best way is: Start with the opening paragraph that introduces the topic and has the keyword. That said, then, use H2 subheadings for the sections. Also, the first H2 could be "Introduction", but that would mean the topic is introduced twice. Plus, perhaps the opening paragraph is not counted as an H2 section, but it's the narrative intro. I'll just write the opening paragraph, then immediately use H2 "Introduction" as a section, but the opening paragraph already set the stage. To avoid redundancy, I'll make the opening paragraph a brief, natural introduction, and then have H2 sections that dive deeper. The H2 "Introduction" could be very short or I could skip it and just have the other sections. But the instruction lists "Introduction" as one of the subheadings. I'll include it, but make the opening paragraph separate and then have H2 "Introduction" that expands.
Most guides skip this. Don't.
