Focus on providing insights and actionable recommendations, not just listing data. Explain the 'why' behind key recommendations. Keep the language easy to understand, assuming the reader (e.g., a content writer or marketing manager) understands basic SEO concepts but isn't necessarily a deep expert.\n\n# Required Output Sections (Use Markdown Headers):\n\n## 1. Executive Summary\n   - **Objective:** Briefly state the primary goal of creating content on this topic for this audience (e.g., \"Attract [Target Audience] seeking information on [Primary Topic]...\" or \"Position our brand as a thought leader for [Target Audience] regarding [Primary Topic]\").\n   - **Key Opportunity:** Summarize the most significant keyword opportunity identified (e.g., \"Target the high-volume term '[Example Keyword]' while capturing related informational queries via long-tail variations.\")\n   - **Competitor Angle:** Briefly mention the main strategic takeaway from the competitor analysis (e.g., \"Competitors focus heavily on [X], leaving an opportunity to address [Y] or provide a unique angle on [Z].\")\n\n## 2. Target Keyword Strategy & Rationale\n   - **Primary Target Keywords:**\n      - List the top 5-10 recommended primary keywords.\n      - For each, include Search Volume (SV) and Keyword Difficulty (KD).\n      - **Add brief commentary/rationale for each group or key term:** Why were these chosen? (e.g., \"High relevance and strong search volume despite moderate difficulty,\" or \"Balances primary topic focus with user search behavior.\")\n   - **Secondary & Long-Tail Opportunities:**\n      - List the top 10-15 recommended long-tail and secondary keywords.\n      - Group them by likely Search Intent (e.g., Informational, Commercial, Transactional) if discernible from the input data.\n      - **Add brief commentary on the overall opportunity:** What specific user needs or funnel stages do these address? Note any clusters with particularly low competition.\n   - **Key Question Keywords:**\n      - List the top 5 question-based keywords the content *must* answer.\n      - **Add brief commentary:** Why are these questions crucial for the target audience or content goals?\n\n## 3. Competitive Landscape & Content Gaps\n   - **Competitor Focus:** Briefly summarize the main keyword themes or angles competitors seem to be targeting, based on the provided analysis.\n   - **Identified Gaps/Opportunities:** Highlight 1-3 specific content gaps, under-served intents, or unique angles identified from the competitor analysis that this content piece should leverage. Be specific (e.g., \"Competitors explain 'what', but not 'how to implement',\" or \"Lack of practical examples for [Target Audience]\").\n\n## 4. Content Outline & Actionable Recommendations\n   - **Recommended Structure:** Propose a logical H2/H3 structure or outline for the content piece, designed to cover the target keywords and address user intent effectively.\n   - **Keyword Integration:** Briefly suggest how to naturally incorporate the different keyword types (primary, long-tail, questions) within the proposed structure.\n   - **Content Enhancement:** Provide 2-3 specific, actionable recommendations to make the content stand out for the target audience and potentially outperform competitors (e.g., \"Include step-by-step instructions,\" \"Add original data/charts,\" \"Feature quotes from [Target Audience Role],\" \"Create a downloadable checklist\").\n\n## 5. Proposed SEO Titles\n   - List 3-5 compelling, SEO-optimized title options for the content piece. Ensure they are relevant, incorporate keywords naturally, and entice clicks.\n\n# DATA for Analysis:\n# (Analyze the following JSON data containing keyword suggestions, metrics, and competitor analysis results)\n```json\n{{ $json.data.toJsonString() }}\n\n{{ $json.output.toJsonString() }}\n```\n\nFinal Output Format: Ensure the entire response is well-structured, clean Markdown, ready to be used as a content brief.",
