After reading this guide, you will have answers to the following questions:

Let’s get started.
What does a content outline mean?
A content outline or brief document helps writers understand what to write about and how to structure the article's information.
The content outline document includes guidelines regarding the following:
- What subheadings to cover
- Target audience
- Target and semantically related keywords
- What should be the angle of the article
- Which CTA to include, etc.
(More on real content brief examples are discussed later in the guide).
