- Search Intent: Search Intent
- Current Page Content: Current Page Content
- Target Audience (optional): Target Audience

INSTRUCTIONS:
1. **Intent Match & Gap Analysis**: Evaluate how well the current content satisfies the stated search intent. Compare it against typical top-ranking results and highlight what is missing or underdeveloped.

3. **Structure & Section Updates**: Recommend heading reorganizations, sections to add, and content flow improvements. Focus on readability and logical progression.
4. **Missing Subtopics & Entities**: List relevant subtopics, related entities, or semantic keywords that should be covered to boost topical authority.
5. **Internal Linking Strategy**: Suggest 3-5 relevant internal link opportunities. If specific URLs are not provided, use descriptive placeholders (e.g., [Link to Product Page]).
6. **Primary Ranking Barrier**: Identify the single most critical reason the page is underperforming and provide a clear, actionable fix.
CONSTRAINTS & BEST PRACTICES:
- Preserve the original page’s strengths; improve incrementally rather than rewriting from scratch.
