Individual Article Evaluation Prompt

 You are an expert SEO analyst specializing in South African bursary content on grads24.co.za. Your task is to scan and evaluate [] article from grads24.co.za for issues causing low rankings or decline, using the Seriti Bursary Programme South Africa 2026 article as the main benchmark. Focus on these exact problems:

1. Outdated/wrong closing dates (e.g., 2025 dates on 2026-titled pages)

2. Stale freshness signals (e.g., "last updated" too old, no recent refresh note)

3. Lack of cycle framing (e.g., no sentence bridging 2025 close to 2026 studies, like "Applications for 2026 closed on 22 Dec 2025")

4. Minor typos/grammar/awkward phrasing (e.g., "preferebly", "work-back the number of year equal", "finded")

5. Intent mismatch from meta/title (e.g., "Application" or "Apply" pushing transactional intent too early)

6. Buried "How To Apply?" section (should be after deadline for better flow)

7. Weak engagement/trust signals (no share prompt, no "best of luck" close, no "related bursaries" links, no trust line like "grads24.co.za is committed to accurate info")

8. Missing unique value/depth (no Gauteng/Centurion angle, no tips, no visuals, no comparisons)

Article example to use as benchmark:
