The user wants a long-form article about "best wood cutting board" as a roundup list of 5 products. They have given an extremely detailed prompt with many constraints. I need to output the complete article in the exact structure described, obeying all the rules.
Let's parse the requirements:
Tone: conversational, friendly, human, easy to follow. Use contractions, "you", "we". Avoid robot-like language.
Zero competitor backlinks: no linking/quoting competitor sites. Cite manufacturer specs, standards bodies, or aggregate buyer-review framing.
Writerfy Amazon E-E-A-T rules: truthfulness principle: never fabricate personal experience. The article is written by a research-driven editorial team that has NOT physically tested or used the products. So I must not say "I tested", "I used", etc. Use editorial research phrasing: "In our research…", "Aggregate user reviews report…", "Verified buyer feedback shows…", "Manufacturer specifications indicate…", etc.
Content quality: cite specific details from product inventory, exact spec numbers, real model names, user notes provided. Never invent specs, battery life numbers, measurements.
Never mention specific dollar prices ($ amounts). Use "value", "premium tier", "budget-friendly", "mid-range".
Each product section must feel different, vary sentence rhythm, angle, real-world scenarios from review data.
Be honest about limitations: every product gets at least one real downside or trade-off mentioned, sourced from buyer reports or spec analysis.
Zero-competitor-backlinks rule: avoid linking to or quoting competitor review sites. Cite manufacturer specs directly, named standards bodies, or aggregate buyer-review framing.
All product links must come from the PRODUCT INVENTORY block below, use the exact "Affiliate URL" provided per product. NEVER invent Amazon URLs, etc.
Anti-AI-tell rules: , ZERO DASH-AS-PUNCTUATION: never use em-dashes, en-dashes, or hyphen flanked by spaces as sentence punctuation. Replace with comma, period, parentheses, colon. Only allowed hyphens in compound words with no surrounding spaces (e.g., "1/4-inch", "state-of-the-art").
, Paragraph length cap: every paragraph stays at 3, 4 sentences maximum (≈40-80 words). 5+ sentence walls are AI-generated and unreadable. Break thoughts into multiple short paragraphs separated by blank lines.
, No meta-commentary: never write self-referential lines about the article itself. Banned lines.
Introduction discipline: article BEGINS with two short paragraphs of plain prose, NEVER a heading. The first character is normal prose.
, Paragraph 1: 40, 70 words. The exact keyword must appear naturally in the first or second sentence WRITTEN IN BOLD MARKDOWN, write literally as **best wood cutting board**. Non-negotiable. Hook with buyer's core pain or practical answer.
First-person voice ("I've spent the last [time] testing…"). Begin weaving in 2, 3 related entities.
, Paragraph 2: 40, 70 words. Front-load the bottom-line recommendation. Mention the top pick by short name. End with one-line transition into comparison chart / first H2.
, No throat-clearing.
, Hard limit: 2 paragraphs total, ~120 words combined.
Entity-rich writing: map 8-12 entities semantically related to focus keyword. Distribute naturally. Categories: specific brand names (3-4 prominent brands buyer would recognize), sub-categories/use-case scenarios (2-3), related technical concepts/certifications/specs (2-3), adjacent products/accessories (1-2), geographic/regulatory/contextual mentions (1). Aim for one entity per ~80 words of body prose.
Semantic + geo + AIEO optimization: , Entity-first phrasing: when introducing entity for first time, use canonical Wikipedia name first then abbreviation. e.g., "Anti-lock Braking System (ABS)".
, Entity triples: build at least 3-5 subject → predicate → object statements per article that read like knowledge-graph facts. e.g., "DEWALT 20V MAX uses brushless motor technology", "ASME B107.300 specifies ±4% torque accuracy CCW", "the IPX7 rating means submersion to 1m for 30min".
, Definitional clarity: every key term gets a one-sentence "X is a Y that does Z" definition the first time it appears.
, Numeric specificity (geo ranking signal): every claim that involves a quantity uses concrete numbers with units. "ranged from 47 to 62 ft-lb", "tested over 90 days", "weighs 1.2 kg / 2.6 lb", "compatible with 3/8-inch and 1/2-inch drive". Never vague modifiers without attached number.
, Quotable statements: write 4-6 standalone "quotable" sentences per article, 12-25 word punchy claims that read as standalone facts. Place them at the START of an H2 section so AI engines extract them as featured-snippet candidates.
, Question-matchings sub-headings: for buying-guide and FAQ sub-headings, phrase 30-40% of them as the actual question a Google searcher would type ("Is a torque wrench worth it for home use?" instead of "Home Use Considerations"). This maps the section directly to People-Ask queries.
, Answer-first paragraphs: under each H2/H3 question heading, the first sentence is a direct, standalone answer (35, 60 words). The rest adds nuance. AI engines pull the first sentence; readers stay for the rest.
, Date anchoring: include the current year naturally in the article ("As of 2026, the ASME B107.300 standard…", "The 2026 model adds…"). LLMs heavily reward freshness signals.
, Authoritative sources (NOT competitor backlinks): name primary sources by canonical name, manufacturer (DEWALT, Snap-on), standards body (ASME, ISO, ANSI, NIST, FDA), trade association (NAMA, NEMA, SAE International), or peer-reviewed journal, without linking, just naming.
, Extractable structured data: at least one comparison table OR a clean spec table OR a numbered list of features in every long-form article.
, Buyer-intent query mapping: by end of article, must have answered the top 5 search-intent variants for the keyword (commercial, informational, navigational, comparative, troubleshooting).
Article type: Best List Roundup, "5 best wood cutting board". Search intent: commercial.
Target length: 3001, 4500 words total (intro + every product section + buying guide + FAQs + verdict combined). Hard cap: do not exceed 4500 words. Must land between 3001 and 4500 total words.
