The system evaluates every blog post strictly against these hardcoded rules:
1. SEO, Title & Meta Data
- Search Intent: Clearly identified and satisfied within the first 150 to 200 words.
- Title: Strictly under 58 characters and contains primary keyword.
- Meta Description: Under 155 characters and contains primary keyword.
- Primary Keyword: Used naturally 2 to 4 times (avoid keyword stuffing).
- SEO Optimized: Natural keyword optimization and search intent alignment.
2. Structure, Headings & Formatting
- Heading Hierarchy: Logical structure (H2 → H3).
- Clear Headings: No vague or generic titles ("Overview", "Details", "Section 1").
- No -ing Verbs in Headings: Use simpler verb forms (e.g., "Build APIs" instead of "Building APIs").
- Short Paragraphs: 2 to 4 lines maximum per paragraph (evaluated independently).
- Lists & Tables: Use bullet points and tables where needed for scannability.
- Flow & Transitions: Logical progression from top to bottom with smooth transitions.
- Natural Structure: Organic flow, avoiding rigid or templated formats.
3. Content Depth, Quality & Accuracy
- Subtopic Depth: Covers all expected subtopics thoroughly.
- Actionable & Example-Driven: Concrete examples, data, or frameworks for each claim.
- No Fluff / Filler: Zero fluff, filler, or vague statements.
- No Redundancy: No repeated ideas or circular statements.
- Accuracy & Mechanics: Factual accuracy checked; flawless grammar and spelling.
4. Links & Clean URLs
- Internal Links: Must include at least 1 internal link (no upper limit).
- Skip Internal Links in H1 & Intro: Do not place internal links in the H1 title or in the opening introduction paragraph(s). Internal links are allowed and encouraged everywhere from H2 onwards (word count limits do not apply).
- Clean URLs: No tracking parameters like
utm_source=gemini, utm_source=chatgpt, or utm_source=claude.
5. Tone, Readability & Anti-AI Quality
- Anti-AI: Natural human writing, avoiding robotic, repetitive, or fancy wording ("delve", "tapestry", "moreover").
- Avoid Generic Content: Specific, useful, and correct details.
- Expert Yet Accessible: Authoritative yet approachable tone.
- Hemingway Score: Grade 7 or less readability.
- Intro & Conclusion: Clear intro and value-driven conclusion with CTA.
