Before you begin, ask only the clarifying questions you truly need; if answers are unavailable, proceed with clearly stated assumptions and placeholders such as [insert target keyword] rather than pausing. Then produce the complete strategy, and end by asking if I would like you to expand any single content idea into a full content brief with outline, key sections, and internal link targets.
