How it works

Step 1

Enter your topic

The subject of the post — a keyword, a question, or a working idea.

Step 2

Pick the search intent

Informational, commercial, or comparison — the intent reshapes which sections the outline needs.

Step 3

Get the structure

Title, hook, 6-8 H2 sections each with a one-line coverage note, H3 sub-points where needed, and a closing CTA.

Step 4

Copy as markdown

One click exports the whole outline as markdown headings, ready for your editor or your writer.

Why it matters

Structure decides what AI engines can extract.

AI engines read your headings as a map of what the page answers: a clear H2 hierarchy with a definition section up top and an FAQ near the end gives them clean, extractable answer blocks. A post written as one stream of prose under a single heading might read fine to a human but offers nothing an engine can lift and cite.

Answer-first ordering keeps both readers and engines.

Putting the direct answer or TL;DR in the first section — and the deep detail after it — serves the skimmer, the searcher, and the AI engine simultaneously. Burying the answer in section six is the classic recipe-blog mistake, and it costs you featured snippets, AI citations, and reader trust all at once.

Outlining first is faster than fixing later.

Ten minutes deciding the sections — and what each one must cover — prevents the two most expensive drafting failures: writing three sections that say the same thing, and discovering at the end that the piece never answered the actual question. The coverage notes in this outline act as a per-section definition of done.

  • Full drafts written, quality-gated, and auto-published — outline to live URL
  • Citation tracking shows which published pieces AI engines actually quote, across every major AI search surface

Frequently asked

What's the difference between a blog outline and a content brief?

An outline is the skeleton of one post: title, section headings, and what each section covers. A content brief is the fuller assignment document — it adds target keywords, meta description, FAQs, and competitive notes on top of the outline. Use this tool when you know what you're writing and need the structure; use a content brief generator when you're handing the work to a writer who needs the full context.

How many H2 sections should a blog post have?

Six to eight is the sweet spot for a substantial post. Fewer than five usually means sections are doing too many jobs each; more than nine usually means the topic should be split into two posts. Each H2 should answer one distinct sub-question a reader (or an AI engine) would ask about the topic.

Why does the outline put the definition first and the FAQ near the end?

Because that's the order both readers and AI engines consume content. The opening section delivers the direct answer, so skimmers get value immediately and engines have a clean block to extract. The FAQ near the end catches the related questions the main sections didn't cover — and FAQ blocks are among the most frequently extracted structures in AI answers.

When should a section have H3 subsections?

Only when the section genuinely splits into named sub-points — steps in a process, items in a comparison, options to choose between. If a section reads as one continuous argument, forcing H3s into it just fragments the prose. That's why this outline gives some sections three H3s and others none.

How does search intent change the outline?

It changes which sections exist. An informational outline leads with a definition and builds toward how-to application. A commercial outline covers benefits, pricing, and evaluation criteria, because the reader is deciding whether to buy. A comparison outline opens with a verdict, compares dimension by dimension, and ends with which option fits which use case. Same topic, three different posts.
