4. **Drafting – Section by Section (Mental Check for Constraints):**
* *H1:* Grammarly Review 2026: Is It Still the Best Writing Assistant for Professionals?
* *Date:* Last updated: April 2026.
* *Intro:* Establish authority (James Wilson, tooltester24). Mention 6 months testing. Mention score (8.9/10).
* *H2 1:* How Does Grammarly Perform in Real-World Writing Scenarios? (2+ paragraphs). Discuss the 400+ docs, 50 intentional errors, accuracy rates (94% vs 67%).
* *H2 2:* What Features Does Grammarly Premium Offer Over the Free Version? (2+ paragraphs). Clarity, tone, plagiarism, full-sentence rewrites. Mention the 27% gap.
* *H2 3:* Is GrammarlyGO Effective for AI Content Generation? (2+ paragraphs). Compare to Claude/Jasper. 22% publish-ready vs 68%. Good for polishing, bad for drafting.

* *H2 5:* How Does Grammarly Compare to ProWritingAid

and Hemingway? (2+ paragraphs). Integration vs Depth. Readability vs Grammar.

* *FAQ:* 5 H3s.
* *Schema:* Match FAQ content.
* *Links:* Insert naturally.
* *Banned Words:* Check strictly.

5. **Word Count Strategy:**
* To hit 1800 words, I need to expand on the “Why” and “How” in each section. I need to describe specific instances of testing. I need to elaborate on the pricing value comparison over time. I need to discuss the user interface experience in more detail. I will ensure each paragraph is robust (150-200 words each). 7 H2 sections x 2 paragraphs x 200 words = 2800 words potential. I need to be careful not to go too short. I will aim for dense, informative paragraphs.

6. **Review against Constraints:**
* Raw HTML only? Yes.
* Start with H1? Yes.
* Date paragraph? Yes.
* 5-8 H2s? I planned 7.
* H2s as full questions? Yes.
* 2+ paragraphs per H2? Yes.
* 1800+ words? I will monitor this closely during drafting.
* 5 H3 FAQs? Yes.
* JSON-LD Schema? Yes.
* Internal links (3-5)? Yes.
* External citations (2+)? Yes.
* Banned phrases? I will scan for them before finalizing.
* No placeholders? Yes.

7. **Drafting Content (Iterative expansion for length):**
* *Intro:* Expand on the history of using Grammarly since 2020. Mention the shift in AI landscape.
* *H2 1:* Detail the testing methodology. Mention specific types of documents (emails, blogs). Mention the false positive/negative tracking.
* *H2 2:* Break down specific premium features like tone detection nuances. Mention the University of Pittsburgh study.
* *H2 3:* Deep dive into GrammarlyGO limitations. Compare specific prompt results.
* *H2 4:* Analyze the cost per year vs lifetime competitors.
* *H2 5:* Specific use cases for Hemingway vs Grammarly.
* *H2 6:* Security protocols.
* *H2 7:* Specific personas who shouldn’t buy.
* *FAQ:* Ensure distinct questions from H2s if possible, or deepen the answers. The prompt asks for FAQ section at the end with 5 questions as H3 tags. I should ensure these don’t duplicate H2s exactly if possible, or provide deeper answers. The source had 6 FAQs, I need 5.
* *Links:* I’ll create anchors like “best AI writing tools”, “project management software”, “grammar checkers comparison”.
* *Citations:* Grammarly official page, University study.

8. **Final Check on Banned Phrases:**
* “in todays digital landscape” -> Avoid.
* “delve into” -> Avoid.

*Self-Correction on Word Count:* I need to be very verbose. I will expand on the implications of the features. I will discuss the user interface details. I will discuss the customer support experience. I will discuss the mobile app experience. This will help ensure I hit the 1800-word minimum without fluffing too much.

*Self-Correction on H2 Count:* I need exactly 5 to 8 H2s. I planned 7. That is safe.
*Self-Correction on H3 FAQ:* Exactly 5 questions.
*Self-Correction on Schema:* Must match the 5 H3 FAQs.

*Let’s write.*
