# Elternurlaub — creation notes

**Last Updated:** 2026-03-20

## Strategy

- **Angle:** Disambiguation / terminology — *Elternurlaub* (Umgang) vs. **Elternzeit** (BEEG), **Erholungsurlaub** (BUrlG), **Elterngeld**, **Sonderurlaub**. Deep BEEG mechanics stay in **elternzeit**; this post links there repeatedly.
- **Anti-cannibalization:** Outline target ~2,000 words; **competitive-depth** `recommended_target` ~2,200 (manual) so SERP/outline validators don’t force a second full BEEG article. **Body ~2,070+ words** (2026-03-20 expansion: Elternzeit vs. Elterngeld vs. Sonderurlaub, „Wer zahlt was“-Liste, Antrag-Schritte, Urlaubs-H3 + `blog-note`, Pillar-Links Zeiterfassung/Dienstplan).

## Pipeline / data

- **SISTRIX search-intent:** credit gate → manual `data/search-intent.json`.
- **PAA:** manual `paa-questions-manual.json` when automated PAA was noisy.
- **Firecrawl:** sparse on some competitor URLs; noted in `SERP_ANALYSIS.md`.

## Cross-links

- **elternzeit:** `update-post-content.php` — link **„Elternurlaub“** → `/insights/lexikon/elternurlaub/` where Umgangssprache fits.

## FAQs

- `generate-faq-answers-optimized.php --use-ai` + manual QA; **FAQ #11** (*Gibt es Elternurlaub im Gesetz?*) expanded for `validate-faq-schema.php` (40–80 words after HTML strip).
- Word **„Freizeit“** in FAQ (*Extra-Freizeit*) → **„Extra-Auszeit“** to avoid false industry-mapping warning (*Freizeit* → Branche).

## SEO / assets

- **Meta:** `seo-meta.json` + `sync-meta-to-posts.php`; description ~155 chars (SERP + validator balance).
- **Featured image:** `generate-blog-featured-image.py` — WebP `elternurlaub` srcset; prompt from `IMAGE_PROMPT.md` (office/calendar motif, distinct from baby-only elternzeit).

## Ecosystem

- **Lead capture:** `_slugToBenefit` in `generate-lead-capture-copy.php`, `blog_elternurlaub` in `lead_capture_copy.php`, **quick lookup** `/insights/lexikon/elternurlaub/` → `blog_elternurlaub` in `lead-capture-copy-detector.php`.
- **LLM sync:** `v2/scripts/llms/sync-blog-posts-to-llms.php --add`.
- **Inventory:** `merged.json` `was_ist_elternurlaub` → `ordio_covered: true`, `ordio_slug: elternurlaub`; GAPS row removed.

## Validators (spot-check)

- `validate-content-flow`, `validate-faq-quality`, `validate-faq-schema`, `validate-internal-links-exist --strict`, `validate-new-post --strict` — **OK** (H3s added under Vergleich + HR block; FAQ internal links trimmed to 5 + du-tone pass).
- Per-post FAQ quality report: `FAQ_QUALITY_REPORT.md` (excellent, no warnings after link/du pass).
- `compare-content-to-competitors`: WARN vs 2,200-word target; acceptable for hub-and-spoke model.

## Follow-ups

- **GSC (after indexation):** watch *Elternurlaub* vs *Elternzeit* query overlap; adjust internal links if SERP shows drift.
- **Rich Results** (post-deploy): spot-check Article + FAQPage on live URL.
- **Site-wide FAQ schema report:** `php v2/scripts/blog/validate-faq-schema.php --all` refreshes `docs/content/blog/FAQ_SCHEMA_VALIDATION.md` (many posts may still list issues elsewhere); **elternurlaub** is not among the failing slugs.
