Turn business goals into content goals
Content works better when every item has a job. Translate a business goal into audience action, proof needed and a measurable signal before asking AI for ideas.
“Give me 30 content ideas.”
“Plan content for my business.”
“Use my goal, audience, proof, capacity and review rules.”
Act as a content strategist. Using the practice brand, create three content goals for the next 30 days. For each, state the intended audience action, content role, proof available, channel and one measurable signal. Do not invent targets or promise sales. WORKING RULES: Use only the brand, audience, offer and evidence supplied. Do not invent customer claims, statistics, prices, results or testimonials. Separate facts from suggestions. Avoid copying a source's wording. Flag claims that need proof. End with a short human-review checklist.
