# Repurpose videos into blog posts via Content Factory

Make a clear page from a real video. This guide keeps your real voice and proof while making the lesson clear. Start with one checked recording and the reader it should help.

**The path:** Real recording → Checked transcript → Useful article → Reviewed release

**Start when:** A permitted usable recording needs a source-backed article on the person’s maintained site.

## Inputs

- [Record real customer answers](https://local-service-spotlight.github.io/task-library/?task=record-one-minute-videos-answering-customer-questions#task-record-one-minute-videos-answering-customer-questions) or another accepted video with speaker, date, rights and source file.
- The intended reader, useful result, existing relevant pages and source proof.
- Actual transcription/editor access, maintained publishing source and release owner; [Article Guidelines](https://localservicespotlight.com/article-guidelines/).

## Steps

1. Check the original file, permission, speaker and intended use. Read any existing article on the topic before drafting; improve the maintained owner or create the appropriate supporting page under the [SEO Tree, the map from proof pages to main topics and offers](https://blitzmetrics.com/seo-tree/) rather than duplicate a competing topic hub.
2. Transcribe with the tool actually available, then compare names, numbers and load-bearing statements with the source. Keep exact timestamps for useful quotes and corrections. A transcript is evidence to check, not permission to invent a more impressive story.
3. Define [Goals, Content, Targeting: the result, source material and people served](https://blitzmetrics.com/gct-business-strategy/) from the actual material and assignment. Draft the short opening at grade five or below, explaining the reader’s situation, useful outcome and supporting method. Use [Review the hook and context](https://local-service-spotlight.github.io/task-library/?task=step-7-write-hook-and-establish-context#task-step-7-write-hook-and-establish-context) and retain quoted reviewer evidence.
4. Write a clear article with title under 60 characters, concise meta description under 160, useful headings and short active paragraphs. Preserve the person’s authentic first-person account and named credited quotes. Include relevant credibility proof; do not rewrite a lived example into generic advice or a claim the speaker never made.
5. Place meaningful real media or a source-backed diagram with the short opening and embed the source video where permitted and useful. Check captions, source identity and responsive layout silently with volume zero. Do not substitute an empty featured-image box for actual first-screen evidence.
6. Use [entity linking, choosing the right home for a named person or topic](https://blitzmetrics.com/entity-linking/) for correct person, company and method destinations; retain primary proof links where they support a claim. Link the article to its real topic and relevant offer. Set author attribution to the actual author or approved source-derived author, not an arbitrary admin or invented speaker credit.
7. Review the source, meaning, media, links, spelling and actual desktop/mobile presentation. Preserve the existing page type, builder and durable source. Save as draft or publish through the authorized rail, then check the normal public page only if release occurred.
8. Save transcript/source links, exact draft or public revision, review results and remaining actions in the existing content record. Hand real sources and accepted excerpts to the clip task; writing an article does not mean its social derivatives or promotion have run.

## Definition of done (QA checklist)

Quality assurance (QA) means checking the actual result against its agreed requirements. Follow the [Article Guidelines](https://localservicespotlight.com/article-guidelines/).

- [ ] The article preserves the source’s facts, voice, credited proof and useful lesson.
- [ ] The exact opening and full body pass meaning review; first-screen media and links are checked at required sizes.
- [ ] Saved/released states, true author and durable source are recorded accurately.
- [ ] The exact output, source revision, reviewer evidence and remaining owner action are saved.
- [ ] For any reader-facing output, the short grade-five opening states the reader’s useful outcome and supporting method or proof. The body delivers that promise; a useful authentic visual appears in the first screen. Retain exact text and quoted reviewer evidence.

## Example(s)

**Fictional teaching example. This is not a client result or proof of a completed run.**

A fictional repair expert records a clear answer about a common leak. The transcript mishears a product name, so the editor checks and corrects it. The draft keeps the expert’s real example, adds a source photo and links to the relevant service guide. It remains a draft until the publishing owner releases and checks it.

## Handoff and Content Factory context

[Prepare social clips](https://local-service-spotlight.github.io/task-library/?task=create-social-content-from-video-clips#task-create-social-content-from-video-clips) receives accepted source segments and the actual article URL when live; [Check paths to the person’s site](https://local-service-spotlight.github.io/task-library/?task=link-all-content-back-to-personal-brand-site#task-link-all-content-back-to-personal-brand-site) checks the new page’s owned paths.

The source places this task in Process within the [Content Factory: Produce, Process, Post and Promote](https://blitzmetrics.com/content-factory/). Produce captures real sources, Process makes the selected useful assets, Post releases approved work, and Promote distributes proven work. The actual handoff above determines what this task must supply.

## Start with an agent

Give the [AI worker](https://blitzmetrics.com/build-agents/) this recipe, the real inputs, desired result and actions already authorized. Ask for the saved output, sources, checks and next owner. A [skill is a written recipe](https://localservicespotlight.com/plugin/); loading one does not prove account access or perform the task. Use the [installation guide](https://localservicespotlight.com/install/) if reusable setup is needed. A ZIP is a source snapshot, not an access grant or automatic update.

Use the app’s actual supported tools and verified file/account access. Keep a missing human verification step with its real owner. Recurring work needs its own configured job, trigger, timezone and observed result; this guide creates no schedule. Before any media playback, mute the player and set its volume to zero. If silence cannot be verified first, use captions, frames, metadata or another silent check.

## Record the real execution

Open the run record when work begins. Keep one execution ID, starting recipe revision, real inputs and current state. Write the [meta article, the record of this execution](https://blitzmetrics.com/meta-article-prompt/) with actual steps, results, checks, failures and next owner. Writing is required; public release follows existing authority. Link it to this recipe and the [Task Library](https://local-service-spotlight.github.io/task-library/).

Reuse the same execution ID for internal checks, revisions, retries and meta writing. A blocked run stays open with its dependency and owner, without an invented finish time. Dated public examples and distinct verified execution counts remain separate. Propose the smallest source-backed recipe improvement when the actual evidence reveals a defect.

## Factory chain (do not treat this as isolated)

- **Phase:** Process
- **Importance:** 3/5 `●●●○○` — frequency 3, revenue 3, gating 2 (supporting)
- **Suggested previous station:** —
- **Suggested next station:** —
These stations are generated neighbors, not verified prerequisites or handoffs. Follow the task’s actual Inputs and Handoff sections.
- **Handoff:** Process-stage artifact examples include `transcript.md`, `gct.md`, `article.html` (or a staged draft), `clips/`, or `04-Promote-Creatives/`. These are examples, not requirements for every task. Follow this task's actual Inputs and Handoff sections for the required output, evidence, and next owner. Pass the files or records, not one vendor's memory.

## Model routing (same factory, any engine)

- **This task's lane:** `any` — Any capable chat model (Claude, ChatGPT, Grok, Gemini). SOP following, drafts, checklists.
- **Single-engine path:** Use the capable AI app you already have. Check its required tools and access before starting. Pass the actual result and proof to the next task.
- **Optional multi-engine:** A tested local model may draft; a stronger model may review facts and voice. Use supported tools for approved actions. Pick models from observed quality and cost; a model name does not prove it can run this task.
- **Never** store the working state in one vendor's memory. Files in the Content Library are the bridge.

## Review and evidence still needed

The inherited contributor status is `needs-work`. It is preserved, not promoted by this rewrite. That label alone does not prove document readiness, account access, an actual execution or a client result.

The fictional example teaches the method and does not fill a real-run evidence gap. A named semantic reviewer must check the actual opening, full method, sources and handoff. Check the useful opening visual in the normal rendered guide at the current required desktop and mobile sizes, including 1280 × 800 and 390 × 844. Source readability checks do not prove public presentation or task execution.
