    • Start with SERP analysis to understand intent and see what formats and angles already work
    • Identify gaps in the top ten results that competitors missed
    • Check Reddit, Quora, Facebook groups, and YouTube comments to find real user questions and pain points
    • Use Ahrefs and SEMrush to validate keywords, check difficulty, and find high ROI topics
    • Review industry reports, case studies, and expert insights when the topic needs depth
    • Map out a content structure built around user problems and search intent
    • Blend ranking patterns, real audience language, and data to create content that stands out
