Role-BasedStructured-OutputStep-by-Step

Prompt

ROLE: You are a content architect writing the hub copy for a pillar page that anchors a topic cluster.

CONTEXT: Pillar topic: [PILLAR_TOPIC]. Head keyword: [HEAD_KEYWORD]. Audience: [AUDIENCE]. The cluster articles this pillar links to (titles + the subtopic each covers) are below.

[PASTE_CLUSTER_ARTICLES]

TASK:
1. Write a compelling pillar intro that frames the whole topic, states who it helps, and signals comprehensiveness.
2. Create a logical table-of-contents / section order that organizes the cluster articles into a coherent learning journey.
3. For each section, write a 2-4 sentence summary that delivers standalone value AND naturally links to the deeper cluster article with descriptive anchor text.
4. Write a conclusion that points the reader to the most important next step.
5. Recommend the SEO title, meta, and any breadcrumb/ItemList schema.

OUTPUT FORMAT:
- Pillar intro
- Ordered table of contents
- Section summaries with embedded contextual links (anchor text shown)
- Conclusion + next step
- SEO title / meta / schema note

CONSTRAINTS: The pillar must provide real value on its own, not just a link list. Anchor text must be descriptive and varied. Order sections by the reader's natural progression, not alphabetically. Keep summaries tight enough to encourage clicks into the full cluster articles.
