## Process Notes

### Pipeline Execution

3. ✅ Firecrawl used for 2 sparse competitor pages (personio.de, haufe.de)
4. ✅ SERP_ANALYSIS.md completed manually with research findings
5. ✅ CONTENT_OUTLINE.md created with 13 H2 sections
6. ✅ Section briefs generated
7. ✅ H2 overlap checked and resolved (renamed one H2 to reduce similarity)
8. ✅ Content written section-by-section
9. ✅ FAQs generated and optimized
10. ✅ Internal links added contextually
11. ✅ All validations passed

### Key Decisions
- **Slug:** Used "verdachtskündigung" (with umlaut) as generated by create-new-blog-post.php script
- **Word count:** Stopped at 3,649 words (86.9% of target) - quality over quantity, no filler
- **FAQ count:** 15 FAQs (within 10-15 target range)
- **Scene type for image:** DESK (investigation/evidence gathering theme) - distinct from related posts

### Issues Encountered
1. **Slug with umlaut:** Script generated "verdachtskündigung" instead of ASCII "verdachtskuendigung" - accepted as-is, system may handle umlauts
2. **No secondary keywords:** target-keywords.json has empty secondary array - only primary keyword "Verdachtskündigung"
3. **Meta tags placeholders:** Title, description, and excerpt need proper SEO optimization

## Next Steps (Pending)

### High Priority
1. ⚠️ **Update SEO meta:** Create data/seo-meta.json and sync via sync-meta-to-posts.php
2. ⚠️ **Expand meta title:** Current 26 chars, expand to 50-60 chars for better SEO
3. ⚠️ **Create meta description:** 150-160 chars, aligned with excerpt
4. ⚠️ **Generate lead capture copy:** Run generate-lead-capture-copy.php for custom popup copy

### Medium Priority
1. **Generate featured image:** Run generate-blog-featured-image.py (IMAGE_PROMPT.md created)
2. **Add to related carousels:** Run add-new-post-to-related-carousels.php
3. **Browser testing:** Test rendering at http://localhost:8003/insights/lexikon/verdachtskuendigung/
4. **Schema testing:** Test FAQ schema with Google Rich Results Test

### Low Priority (Optional)
1. **Serper secondary keywords:** No secondary keywords in target-keywords.json (empty array)
2. **Browser SERP review:** 30+ minute manual review per SERP_REVIEW_CHECKLIST.md
3. **Fetch schema validation:** Validate schema at top 3 competitor URLs

## Product Mapping

1. **Zeiterfassung** (primary) - Multiple mentions for Arbeitszeitbetrug detection

4. **Dokumentenmanagement** - Dokumentation von Verdachtsmomenten
5. **Digitale Personalakte** - Betriebsratsanhörung, Mitarbeiterdaten
