Brief Template Step by Step
Step 1.
Set up the name, language, and content length
Go to your brief template with one click, and name it the way you want. Select the content length from 500 up to 5000 words. Next, enter your domain’s URL so the writer gets to know your brand and messaging.
Step 2.
Choose your topic and tone of voice
Suggest how the topic you want will align with your content marketing strategy. Indicate a specific tone of voice - should it be funny, casual, enthusiastic? Or perhaps neutral, serious, or formal? It’s your call! Next, let us know the best way to address your audience - in the first, second, or third person.
Step 3.
Specify your intent, target audience, and strategic keywords
Set up a goal for your quality content - what actions do you want your audience to take after reading this article? Specify who exactly your target audience are - describe your buyer persona in the most detailed way possible. Next, indicate the keywords you want this article to rank for in the search results.
Step 4.
Power up your content brief with extra hints
To make your article spot on, point out any additional information - what the content creator should mention or avoid. Let us know who your main competitors are, so the writer can take a deep dive into their content and capture their weak spots. And finally - share some top-notch content examples that are your benchmark.
