Turn a topic and keyword into a clear writing brief you can hand to a freelancer, an assistant or yourself. Choose the article type and length, adjust the section plan, tick the affiliate requirements, and the generator works out a word budget for every section, then gives you the brief to copy or download.
A starting layout for the article type. Rename, re-weight or remove sections; shares that don’t add up to 100% are scaled to fit your target length.
Example helper: tap an example to load a complete brief, then replace it with your own topic.
Your brief is saved in this browser only, so it’s still here if you come back. Reset clears it.
Quick answer: An affiliate content brief tells a writer what to write, for whom, and how long each part should be — the title, keyword, search intent, audience, section plan with word budgets, the product and call to action, and must-haves like a disclosure near the links and first-hand evidence. A 2,000-word roundup of 6 products with 60% of the words on the reviews gives each product about 200 words.
Each article type starts with a section plan — a set of sections and the share of the article each one gets. The generator turns those shares into word counts that add up exactly to your target length, and splits the main section across the products or steps you’re covering. You can rename, re-weight, add or remove sections to match how you write.
Section words = target length × section share ÷ total of all shares
Rounding: whole words, adjusted so the sections add up exactly to the target
Words per product (or step) = main section words ÷ number of products
Writer checklist = requirements you tick + the SEO and quality checks
The starting layouts are just that — a sensible first draft of the structure, not a rule. Google says to focus on the quality and originality of reviews rather than their length, so treat word counts as a guide for depth, not a target to pad towards.
| Article type | Main section | Share | Other sections |
|---|---|---|---|
| Listicle / roundup | Product reviews | 60% | Intro (8%), quick picks (6%), comparison table (10%), how we chose (8%), FAQ (5%), verdict (3%) |
| How-to guide | Step-by-step instructions | 58% | Overview (12%), setup (10%), common mistakes (10%), recap (10%) |
| Comparison (X vs Y) | Feature-by-feature | 52% | Intro and quick verdict (10%), table (8%), pricing (14%), who should choose which (10%), verdict (6%) |
| Buying guide | Top picks by need or budget | 46% | Why it’s hard to choose (12%), what to look for (20%), pitfalls (10%), FAQ and decision guide (12%) |
| Case study | What we did | 40% | Summary and results (15%), starting point and plan (25%), lessons (20%) |
The requirement options come from two official sources, so the brief asks for things that actually matter:
| Input | Where to find it | Tip |
|---|---|---|
| Primary and secondary keywords | Your keyword tool, Google Search Console, or Google’s “People also ask” and related searches | Pick one main phrase; add related ones only where they fit naturally. |
| Target length | The pages already ranking for your keyword | Aim to answer the question fully, not to match a word count. |
| Internal links | Your own related guides, reviews and tools | Give the writer exact URLs so links don’t get missed. |
2,000 words covering 6 products. The reviews section gets 60% — 1,200 words, or 200 per product. The rest: intro 160, quick picks 120, comparison table 200, how we chose 160, FAQ 100 and verdict 60 — exactly 2,000.
1,500 words in 5 steps. The steps get 58% — 870 words, about 174 per step — with 180 for the overview and 150 each for setup, common mistakes and the recap.
2,500 words: 1,300 on the feature-by-feature section, 350 on pricing, 250 each on the intro and “who should choose which”, 200 on the table and 150 on the verdict.
Remove the FAQ from the 2,000-word roundup and move its 5% to the reviews (65%). The reviews now get 1,300 words — about 217 per product — and the total still comes to 2,000.
No. It builds the brief — the plan, word budgets, keywords, requirements and checklist a writer works from.
Each section has a share of the article. The generator multiplies your target length by each share (scaling the shares if they don’t total 100%) and rounds so the sections add up exactly to your target. The main section is then split across the products or steps you’re covering.
No. They’re a starting layout for each article type. Change them to suit the topic — Google says to focus on the quality and originality of reviews rather than their length.
There’s no set number. Add closely related phrases that a complete answer would naturally use, and ask the writer to include them only where they fit.
Google says there’s no limit on meta description length, but it cuts snippets to fit the screen. Put the most useful information first.
