Blog & Long-Form template
Blog Post Outline Generator
Generate a comprehensive, SEO-optimized blog post outline. 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
Create a detailed blog post outline for an article about [topic]. Target keyword: [keyword]. Target word count: [word_count] words. Include: a compelling working title (with the keyword), a meta description (under 155 characters), an introduction hook, [section_count] main sections with H2 headings and 2-3 H3 subheadings each, key points to cover in each section, a conclusion with CTA, and 3 internal linking opportunities. The outline should follow a logical flow that keeps readers engaged. Tone: [tone]. Target audience: [audience].
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.

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.
