The workflow that works (B2B-friendly)

1. Pick the cluster: use SEMrush to find 20–40 keywords around one product category or use-case.
2. Write the brief: define ICP, pain, proof, and the conversion goal.
3. Outline to rank: use Surfer to build the H2/H3 structure and required sections.
4. Publish weekly: ship 1–2 pages/week. Consistency beats “perfect”.
5. Refresh winners: every 30–60 days, update the pages already getting impressions.
