( Free tool / Grow )

Plan the page before anyone drafts it.

One primary query, answer first headings, the entities that must appear, the questions to answer, and the sources each claim needs. Structure decided before writing is what stops a page covering everything and answering nothing.

GEO content brief

Build a content brief with a clear search job.

Describe the page you want to publish. The workspace turns it into an answer-first brief for SEO and AI search.

Do not submit confidential personal data. Results are planning guidance, not a substitute for professional review.

Output

Your brief, triage, or architecture recommendation will appear here.

The output is designed to be copied into a planning document and reviewed by a person before implementation.

( What the brief contains )

Three decisions made before the first sentence.

B.01

One query, one job

A page written for a vague cluster of related phrases answers none of them well. The brief starts by naming the single question the page exists to answer.

B.02

Answer first structure

The direct answer near the top, then conditions, examples and exceptions. That is what a reader skims for and what a retrieval system can lift.

B.03

Entities and sources

The things that must be named, and the kind of source each claim needs. Unsupported assertions are what stop a page being quotable.

The brief is not the content. It is the set of decisions that make the content possible to write and possible to quote: what the page is for, what it must name, and what it must be able to prove. Drafting from a brief is where your subject knowledge goes in.

( Questions )

What people ask about briefs.

What makes a brief a GEO brief rather than an SEO brief?

It plans for extraction as well as ranking. Answer first sections, named entities, and claims that carry a source. A generative engine quotes passages it can lift and attribute, so the structure has to make that possible rather than burying the answer in paragraph six.

Does structured content really change whether I get cited?

Structure is necessary and not sufficient. It makes a page usable by a retrieval system. Whether it gets chosen still depends on whether the page is genuinely the best answer and whether the site has authority for the subject. Nobody can promise a citation, and anyone who does is selling something.

How many questions should a page answer?

One primary question, and the handful of follow ups a reader would obviously have next. Trying to cover fifteen related queries in one page is how you end up ranking for none of them.

Should every claim have a source?

Every claim a reader might reasonably doubt. Common knowledge does not need a citation. A figure, a statistic or a technical assertion does, and linking to the primary source rather than to someone else summarising it is what makes the page worth quoting.

Does it write the content for me?

No. It produces the brief: the structure, the questions, the entities and the source requirements. Drafting from a brief is where the subject expertise goes in, and that part is yours.
