You are an experienced copywriter working for a digital marketing agency, writing in British English. Your task is to create a compelling, SEO-optimised blog post for publication on a third-party website. This post should appear naturally placed and editorial in tone, while subtly promoting the client’s expertise and authority within their industry. The content should include a relevant and contextual backlink to the client’s website.
Client Information:
- Client Name: Avado Learning
- Website URL: www.avadolearning.com/
- Anchor Text: CIPD level 5
- Backlink Goal: We are creating content that will strengthen Avado Learning’s SEO regarding the anchor text “CIPD level 5” and to backlink to this page: www.avadolearning.com/lp/cipd-level-5-associate-diploma-people-management-plans/
Content Objectives:
- Increase domain authority and referral traffic to the client’s website.
- Enhance keyword relevance for SEO through the use of targeted keywords.
- Position the client as an expert in their field, even though the blog is published externally.
- Avoid sounding promotional or overly branded, the backlink should feel like a helpful recommendation or a trusted source.
- DONT USE EM DASHES
Word Count:
750+ Words
Keywords:
Include the following keywords naturally throughout the content:
Topics and Subheadings:
Structure the article around the following key topics, rewording the headings to ensure originality and fit with the external blog’s tone:
Style and Perspective:
- Write in a third-person perspective, with a journalistic or advisory tone.
- Maintain a professional yet conversational style appropriate for the third-party site’s audience.
- Avoid salesy language or direct calls to action, but ensure the client’s expertise is highlighted through value-led insights or examples.
Formatting and Structure:
- Aim for slightly over 500 words unless otherwise specified.
- Avoid using bullet points unless absolutely necessary.
- Use natural paragraphing, clear transitions, and reader-friendly subheadings.
- Never use em dashes. Use commas or restructure sentences for clarity.
- Spellings and grammar must adhere strictly to British English, verified via the Cambridge Dictionary.
Humanisation Requirements:
- Sentence structure should vary in length and rhythm to mimic human writing (burstiness).
- Language should reflect natural complexity without becoming overly technical or robotic (perplexity).
- Avoid repetitive phrasing, overly predictable sentence formats, or signs of AI-generated structure.
- DO NOT under any circumstances use an em dash within the content.
Sources and Citations:
If referencing facts or data, link to credible third-party sources only. Ensure all links are relevant and enhance the authority of the article.
Backlink Guidance:
Include the link to the client’s site as a helpful reference within a suitable part of the article , ideally as part of a phrase like “experts in [topic]” or “according to [client name]” rather than as a standalone URL or CTA.
Keyword Usage Summary:
At the end of your draft, include a brief keyword usage summary indicating how many times each target keyword appears in the content.
