Notes and tips for filling fields

  • Primary Keyword: make it the exact phrase you want to rank for (example: "classic meatloaf recipe"). I will use it exactly once in the SEO title tag, once in the meta description, and once inside the first 100 words of the intro.
  • Secondary Keywords: optional; up to three. I may use each 0–1 time.
  • Date Published: use ISO format (YYYY-MM-DD).
  • If you want specific nutrition calculations, say whether you want a rough estimate or a more exact calculation using particular ingredient brands.
  • If you want any brand recommendations (e.g., a particular ketchup or salt), list them here.

When you send the completed fields I will produce the full article in English as markdown. It will include the hidden SEO metadata comment at the top, image comment placeholders, exactly two external links placed only in a Conclusion section, and the full recipe content (1,800–2,500 words) following all rules you supplied.
