Complete ALL items before Phase 4 (Content Creation). Do not edit content.html until this checklist is done.

## Phase 1: Data Collection (run-new-post-pipeline)

- [x] SISTRIX collected: `php v2/scripts/blog/collect-post-keywords-sistrix.php --post=grundfreibetrag --category=lexikon`
- [x] PAA questions collected: `php v2/scripts/blog/collect-post-paa-questions.php --post=grundfreibetrag --category=lexikon`
- [x] SERP features collected: `php v2/scripts/blog/collect-post-serp-features.php --post=grundfreibetrag --category=lexikon` (before FAQ Research so faq-research merges PAA from serp-features)
- [x] FAQ research collected: `php v2/scripts/blog/collect-faq-research-data.php --post=grundfreibetrag --category=lexikon`
- [x] Competitor analysis collected: `php v2/scripts/blog/collect-post-competitor-analysis.php --post=grundfreibetrag --category=lexikon` (output: data/competitor-analysis.json)
- [x] Competitor depth analyzed: `php v2/scripts/blog/analyze-competitor-content-depth.php --post=grundfreibetrag --category=lexikon` (output: data/competitive-depth-analysis.md)
- [x] Content depth report generated: `php v2/scripts/blog/content-depth-report.php --post=grundfreibetrag --category=lexikon`
- [x] SERP skeleton generated: `php v2/scripts/blog/generate-serp-analysis-skeleton.php --post=grundfreibetrag --category=lexikon`

## Phase 2: Research

- [x] Firecrawl: Pipeline auto-remediates sparse top 7. If re-running: `validate-blog-competitor-data-completeness.php --post=grundfreibetrag --category=lexikon --top=7 --remediate`.
- [x] Review data/content-depth-report.md (competitor word counts, recommended target)
- [x] Review data/competitor-analysis.json (headings, topics, word counts of top 10)
- [x] Complete browser SERP review per [SERP_REVIEW_CHECKLIST.md](../../_templates/SERP_REVIEW_CHECKLIST.md) (min 30 min)
- [x] Search primary keyword; document top 10 URLs, PAA questions, featured snippet
- [x] Search 2 secondary keywords; document top 10 + PAA per keyword
- [x] Fill SERP_ANALYSIS.md manual sections (Featured Snippet, PAA, Ranking Factors, Recommendations)
- [x] SERP_ANALYSIS.md created/updated
- [x] Content outline created (skyscraper: covers top 10 + more + better format)
- [x] Outline target set from data/competitive-depth-analysis.md (suggested: 100%, minimum 90% of recommended)
- [x] Outline covers: intro (hook, context, value – never "Definition:"), 8–12 H2s, FAQs, Fazit (H2)
- [x] Topic-Angle coverage: Each H2 covers distinct angle (Definition, How, Comparison, Rules, Edge Case, Practical, Conclusion). No redundant H2s. See SKYSCRAPER_TECHNIQUE_2026.md Topic-Angle Coverage.
- [x] H3 planning: For each H2, apply CONTENT_DEPTH_GUIDELINES H3 checklist. List vs H3: brief items (1-2 sentences) use list; substantial items use H3. Structure variety across sections.
- [x] CONTENT_OUTLINE.md created
- [x] Section briefs generated or filled: `php v2/scripts/blog/generate-section-briefs.php --post=grundfreibetrag --category=lexikon` (key points, target words, formats per H2)

## Phase 3: Validation Gate

- [x] `php v2/scripts/blog/check-outline-h2-overlap.php --post=grundfreibetrag --category=lexikon` (merge or rephrase overlapping H2s)
- [x] Unique Value section in CONTENT_OUTLINE.md has ≥1 item checked
- [x] Reviewed [ANTI_FLUFF_CHECKLIST.md](../../ANTI_FLUFF_CHECKLIST.md) before writing
- [x] `php v2/scripts/blog/validate-improvement-readiness.php --post=grundfreibetrag --category=lexikon --new-post` passes
- [x] `php v2/scripts/blog/validate-content-outline-quality.php --post=grundfreibetrag --category=lexikon` passes

## Phase 4: Content Creation (Only After Above Complete)

- [x] Read `data/section-briefs.md` before writing each section
- [x] Read `data/competitive-depth-analysis.md` content gaps
- [x] Content will be applied via `update-post-content.php` (not direct JSON edit). See [BLOG_CONTENT_EDIT_WORKFLOW.md](../../BLOG_CONTENT_EDIT_WORKFLOW.md).
- [x] Section-by-section drafting: write each H2 to full depth from outline (no incremental word-count chasing). See [CONTENT_CREATION_WORKFLOW_2026.md](../../CONTENT_CREATION_WORKFLOW_2026.md).
- [x] Use H3s where planned in outline; optional intro paragraph between H2 and first H3
- [x] Rewrite content from scratch per outline (do not patch)
- [x] Create/update FAQs
- [x] Add internal links (10–15)
- [x] Add tool links (if relevant)
- [x] Run `php v2/scripts/blog/suggest-contextual-links.php --post=grundfreibetrag --category=lexikon`; review data/suggested-contextual-links.json for tool/industry link opportunities
- [x] **Ordio in body:** 2–4 contextual mentions in main content (not only in FAQs). See [ORDIO_PROMOTION_GUIDE.md](../../ORDIO_PROMOTION_GUIDE.md) principle 6.
- [x] Run `php v2/scripts/blog/compare-content-to-competitors.php --post=grundfreibetrag --category=lexikon` after draft; address gaps
- [x] Run `validate-section-depth.php` and `validate-content-completeness.php` before finalizing
- [x] Run `python3 v2/scripts/blog/audit-content-structure.py`; address "Consider reviewing structure" if flagged
