What happened
Heads up: your inputs list the Topic and Primary keyword as “undefined.” To deliver a newsroom-grade, viral-style article that can crack Google Top Stories and blow up on social feeds, we need the exact trending topic plus 3+ fresh, authoritative US sources from the last few hours. Once we have that, we’ll fire off a punchy, 1,200+ word package in minutes—clean facts, spicy hooks, and citation receipts.
Why fans are losing it (and why it matters to you)
Viral news in the US moves at meme speed. The difference between a post that flops and a post that floods timelines is timing, receipts, and voice. We’ve got the voice and the playbook—but we need your topic. With the right keyword targets (think: the exact phrase trending on Google and X), we can hook users in the first three seconds, drive searchable headlines, and keep it factual enough for Top Stories while staying entertaining enough to trend on TikTok, Reddit, and Instagram.
Bottom line: Give us the target. We’ll give you the traffic.
What we need from you right now
- Pick the topic: What’s the US story blowing up today? (e.g., policy change, celebrity saga, Big Tech move, sports bombshell, market shock, health alert).
- Primary keyword: The exact phrase you want to rank for (e.g., “XYZ stock plunges,” “ABC arrests,” “Hurricane [Name] path”).
- 3–5 fresh sources (last 4 hours preferred, 6–12 hours acceptable if breaking news is light): AP, Reuters, NYT, WaPo, NPR, Bloomberg, CNBC, ABC, CBS, official .gov/.edu, or the biggest local papers.
- Optional: Any angle you want emphasized (money impact, safety tips, political stakes, fan reaction, legal twist).
Drop those, and we’ll ship a fully optimized, viral-ready article with verified facts, quotes, timelines, FAQs, and social-ready hooks.
The bigger picture: How we make it go viral
We blend the inverted pyramid (the news basics) with the internet’s favorite spice rack—hooks, pop-culture nods, and meme-aware phrasing—without crossing into fiction. Think AP facts with BuzzFeed energy and Insider-level context. Headlines stay scroll-stopping but accurate, and we load the story with SEO-friendly keywords and snippet-ready intros to land in Top Stories and Discover.
We also weave in US-centric context (regulators, state-by-state impacts, cost to your wallet) and call out “what to do next” if the news affects readers personally (e.g., taxes, healthcare, storm prep, account security).
What our finished package includes
- Hooky H1 and SEO headline ≤70 characters that use your primary keyword naturally.
- Snippet-ready intro (~70 words) that answers who/what/when/where/why/how fast.
- 4+ sections with engaging H2s (“Why fans can’t stop talking,” “Money angle,” “Receipts & context,” “What to watch next”).
- 3–5 bullets in a Key Takeaways box for skimmers.
- Pros & cons (if it’s a product, policy, or decision).
- FAQ built from SERP and social questions.
- Inline attribution to sources using bracketed cites like [[source:AP]] with URLs.
- Image suggestions (with alt text) and internal links like best-online-certifications.
Sample angles we can execute today
- Money shocker: Markets tank or soar, a major company drops layoffs or a surprise profit—why your 401(k) or paycheck cares.
- Policy whiplash: A new rule, court decision, or state law hits—what changes for renters, drivers, parents, or gig workers.
- Tech twist: AI, privacy, or platform drama—what’s changing on your phone tomorrow and the security moves to make now.
- Weather alert: Storm path updates, evacuations, and what to pack—clear timelines and official guidance.
- Celebrity/legal bombshell: Timeline of receipts, what’s confirmed, and why fans are divided.
- Health notice: FDA/CDC moves, recalls, or outbreaks—symptoms to watch, what to throw out, who’s most at risk.
Our verification playbook
We verify against at least three authoritative US sources—prioritizing AP and Reuters for base facts, then cross-checking with NYT, WaPo, NPR, Bloomberg, CNBC, and official .gov/.edu releases. For state/local stories, we tap the biggest paper or station in-market. We avoid rumor-chasing unless it’s clearly labeled and contextualized. All claims are attributed inline, like [[source:Reuters]].
