Blog & Long-Form template
Blog Post Outline from Keyword
Build a search-intent-driven blog outline from a target keyword. This is the exact template that ships in Nimply’s AI Content Studio — the full prompt is below, with every fill-in variable highlighted.
The full prompt
Given the target keyword [keyword] with search intent [search_intent], create a complete blog post outline. Research-style approach: analyze what a searcher typing this keyword actually wants, then structure content to satisfy that intent perfectly. Include: a title (under 60 characters), meta description (under 155 characters), [section_count] H2 sections each addressing a subtopic of the keyword, H3 subsections, a "People Also Ask" section with 5 questions, word count recommendation, internal and external linking suggestions, and a content differentiation strategy. Industry: [industry]. Tone: [tone].
Copy it anywhere, or open it in Nimply where each highlighted variable becomes a form field and the output lands as a draft in your planner.

Craft notes
Getting the most from blog & long-form templates
- Outline first, always — the outline templates exist so the prose templates have bones to hang flesh on.
- The intro’s only job is earning the second paragraph. The intro templates are deliberately short.
- Specificity is the anti-slop: fill the variables with real numbers, named tools, and actual examples from your work.
- Every long-form piece should end knowing what the reader does next — the templates bake the CTA slot in.
