Automate SEO Blog Posts From Your Keyword Strategy

The AI reads the client's keyword strategy note, picks the next keyword to target, checks existing content for cross-links, writes the full article, and updates the strategy so the next post picks up where this one left off.

What this does

This playbook reads the client’s “SEO Keyword Strategy” note (built by the keyword strategy playbook), picks the highest-priority keyword that hasn’t been written about yet, checks the client’s blog for cross-linking opportunities, writes the full article as a deliverable, and updates the strategy note so the next run picks the next keyword automatically. Run it once a week and the keyword list works itself down in priority order.

Best for

Agencies producing blog content for multiple clients on a regular cadence.

How the chain works

Template 1: Write Blog Post from Strategy. Reads the “SEO Keyword Strategy” note to find the next target keyword. Also reads the Brand Guide note if one exists, pulling voice adjectives and positioning so the article sounds like the client. Browses the client’s blog for internal linking and to avoid duplication. Optionally pulls Search Console data for the target keyword. Writes the full article as a deliverable. Updates the strategy note’s Published Content Log. When done, books Template 2.

Template 2: Review & Publish. Review the article against the keyword strategy, check internal links, edit for voice, and prepare the post for your CMS.

Requirements

  • Run the keyword strategy playbook first. This playbook looks for a client note titled “SEO Keyword Strategy.” If it doesn’t exist, the AI won’t know what to target.
  • The client profile should have their website URL set so the AI can check existing blog content.
  • Search Console is optional. If connected, the AI uses it for keyword data. If not, it works from the strategy note alone.
  • The Brand Guide is optional but strongly recommended. If a “Brand Guide” note exists, the article picks up the client’s voice adjectives and positioning automatically. If not, the article falls back to the client profile overview for tone and still gets written.

How to use it

  1. Make sure the client has an “SEO Keyword Strategy” note.
  2. Create a task from “Write Blog Post from Strategy” for your client.
  3. It reads the strategy note, picks the next keyword, writes the article, and updates the note. To run it immediately, click Run Prompt or mark it complete.
  4. The review task lands in your queue. Check the article, edit for voice, and publish to your CMS.
  5. Run it again next week for the next keyword. The AI reads the updated note and picks the next one in the list.

Tips

  • Batch monthly content. Create 4 tasks at the start of the month, each due a week apart. Each one reads the strategy note, sees what the previous ones wrote, and picks the next keyword. Four articles a month, working through the list in priority order.
  • You control the keyword order. If you want a specific keyword written next, move it to the top of Tier 1 in the strategy note before running this playbook.
  • Cross-linking is automatic. The AI browses the client’s blog before writing, so it knows what pages exist and links to them naturally.
  • Re-run the keyword strategy periodically. After publishing several posts, run the keyword strategy playbook again to refresh recommendations based on new ranking data.
  • Turn posts into social content. After publishing, run the blog to social repurposing playbook to create social posts and a branded image from the article.
  • Build the Brand Guide for the best voice. The article reads the Brand Guide’s Brand Overview section (five voice adjectives, positioning, competitive differentiation) and writes in that voice. This is the single biggest lever for making blog posts sound like the client rather than generic AI copy.
  • If you don’t use the Brand Guide. The blog post still gets written using the client profile overview as a fallback for tone. If you want to remove the lookup entirely (e.g. to save tokens on runs where you know no Brand Guide exists), edit the “Write Blog Post from Strategy (1/2)” template’s Lifty Prompt and delete Step 2 (the Brand Guide lookup). The rest of the template works unchanged.

The templates

Paste these into Settings → Task Templates in your Lifted Work account. Create a template group, add each template in order. When you create tasks from these templates, the AI picks up client context automatically.

[1/2] Write Blog Post from Strategy

20 min budgeted Auto-complete: on Run AI on complete: on Tags: seo, content, blog
Lifty Prompt

Look up the client note titled “SEO Keyword Strategy.” Check the Published Content Log to see what’s been written, then pick the highest-priority uncovered keyword from Tier 1 (or Tier 2 if Tier 1 is done). If no strategy note exists, stop and report that the keyword strategy playbook needs to be run first.

Look up the “Brand Guide” client note. If it exists, use the voice adjectives and positioning to shape the article’s tone.

Pull Search Console data for the target keyword if connected.

Create one deliverable with the complete article:

  • Deliverable title: the suggested slug (e.g., “how-to-choose-a-dentist-in-chicago”)
  • Meta title (under 60 chars, includes target keyword)
  • Meta description (under 155 chars)
  • 1000-1500 word article with the keyword in the title, first paragraph, and 2-3 H2 headings
  • Internal links to existing pages where relevant
  • Clear CTA at the end

Update the “SEO Keyword Strategy” note. Append to the Published Content Log: - [slug]: "Target Keyword" (today's date). Preserve all existing content.

Writing rules:

  • Match the voice from the Brand Guide or client profile
  • No AI tropes like em dashes or words like “leverage”, “seamlessly”, “streamline”, “unlock”, “elevate”
