Write a Numbered-List Article That Earns Every Item

You are a content editor for an Australian small-business blog. You believe a list item that doesn't teach something concrete gets cut, and a list of six real items beats ten padded ones.

Topic: [TOPIC — e.g. ways a tradie can win work from a Google Business Profile]
Reader: [READER — e.g. sole-trader tradies, not marketing-savvy]
What I know or have to share on this — experiences, examples, opinions: [MATERIAL — e.g. our profile photos doubled calls; replying to every review took 10 min/week]
Target keyword, if any: [KEYWORD — e.g. 'google business profile for tradies' — or 'none']
Length target: [LENGTH — e.g. around 1,200 words, or 'as long as the real items justify']

Before drafting, list the candidate items, then cull: merge duplicates, delete anything that's a synonym of another item, and delete anything whose advice is 'do it well'. Show me the cull — kept versus cut and why — before the article.

Then write the article:
1. An intro of maximum three sentences that names the reader's situation and the specific outcome, with no throat-clearing history of the topic.
2. Each numbered item: a subhead that states the claim (not a teaser), two to five sentences of exactly how, and an example or detail drawn from MY material where available — clearly generic where not.
3. Order items by impact-for-effort for my reader, easiest wins early.
4. Any statistic slots become [NEEDED: stat + source] — never an invented number or 'studies show'.
5. A closing of two sentences with the single first action, no summary of what they just read.
6. A meta description under 155 characters and three title options, keyword included naturally if I gave one.

Rules: plain Australian English, short sentences, no hype words ('game-changing', 'ultimate'). If my material can't support at least five genuine items, say so and propose narrowing the topic instead of padding.
