What I need from you

I can’t write the article because the blog topic wasn’t provided. Please tell me the specific topic you want covered. Be as specific as possible so the draft is useful on the first pass.

Quick prompt example: “Please write about employment verification best practices for U.S. remote hires, target keywords: employment verification, remote onboarding, compliant background checks.”

Preferences to provide

When you reply, consider including any of the following preferences. The more detail you give, the more tailored the draft will be.

  • Target keywords or phrases to include for SEO.
  • Primary geographic focus (e.g., national U.S. or specific states).
  • Preferred angle — legal compliance, speed of hire, international checks, candidate experience, cost optimization, or technology integration.
  • Tone and audience — formal legal tone, practical HR guidance, or a how-to for hiring managers.
  • Any required links or sources to preserve verbatim.

Examples of topics (use any as-is or modify)

Here are example topics you can choose or adapt:

  • background screening for remote employees
  • employment verification best practices
  • ban-the-box and criminal record policies
  • drug testing compliance

If you prefer, reply with a single line: “Write about: [your topic] — keywords: [list] — focus: [geography/angle].”

What I’ll draft for you

Once you provide the topic and preferences, I will draft a complete blog post that includes:

  • Word count: 1,200–1,800 words, SEO-optimized.
  • Audience: HR leaders and hiring managers.
  • Structure: Clear headings, practical takeaways, and a short FAQ.
  • Preservation of any supplied facts or URLs: I will keep all original facts, information, and URLs exactly as provided.

Style and formatting I’ll use

The draft will follow best practices for readability and WordPress publication:

  • Clear headings and subheadings with short paragraphs.
  • Bulleted lists and emphasized takeaways for skimmability.
  • SEO-optimized headings and natural keyword placement.
  • Any provided links will be preserved and inserted inline where appropriate.

Note: If you need a local-state focus (for example, California or New York), include that and I’ll adapt compliance language accordingly.

Next steps

Reply with the following items to get the draft started:

  1. The specific topic you want covered.
  2. Any preferences (keywords, geography, angle, tone).
  3. Required facts or URLs to include verbatim (if any).

After you send that, I’ll prepare the 1,200–1,800 word article suitable for immediate WordPress posting.
