7. **Review against Constraints:**

* Date paragraph? Yes.
* 5-8 H2s? I have 7 planned.
* H2 full questions? Yes.

* Internal links? 3-5.
* External links? 2+.
* Banned phrases? I will scan for them.
* Schema? Yes.

8. **Execution – Writing the HTML:**
* *Self-Correction on Word Count:* To ensure I hit 1800 words, I need to be descriptive. I will expand on the “Why” and “How” in each section, detailing specific features like “Visual Automation Builder” or “Subscriber tagging logic”.
* *Self-Correction on H2 Count:* I must ensure I don’t accidentally add an H2 in the FAQ section. FAQ uses H3.
* *Self-Correction on Links:* Make sure anchor text is descriptive.
* *Self-Correction on Banned Words:* I will strictly avoid “explore”, “seamlessly”, “field”, etc.

*Let’s estimate word count during drafting.*
Intro: 200
H2-1: 250
H2-2: 250
H2-3: 250
H2-4: 250
H2-5: 250
H2-6: 250
H2-7: 250
FAQ: 300
Total: ~2250. This should be safe.

*Wait, one critical check:* “Each H2 section must have at least 2 paragraphs of content before the next H2”. I need to make sure I don’t put an image or a list that breaks the paragraph flow too much, but lists are okay within paragraphs. I will ensure distinct `

` tags.

*External Links:* I need authoritative sources. I’ll link to the official pricing pages or help docs of the platforms themselves as “official brand pages”. Or perhaps a study on email marketing ROI. Let’s use official brand pages for safety and relevance.
*Internal Links:* ultimatereview24.com/slug.

*Let’s start coding.*

*Wait, checking the H2 count again.* “You MUST include exactly 5 to 8 H2 headings.” I planned 7. That is within range.
*Checking FAQ:* “FAQ section at the end: 5 questions as H3 tags”.
*Checking Schema:* “After the FAQ section, include a JSON-LD script block”.

*Let’s write.*

*(Self-Correction during drafting)*: I need to be careful not to use “FAQ…” in the H2 for the FAQ section. The instruction says “FAQ section at the end: 5 questions as H3 tags”. It does not say the section header must be H2. However, usually, a section needs a header. But the instruction says “You MUST include exactly 5 to 8 H2 headings.” If I add an H2 for “Frequently Asked Questions”, that counts towards the 5-8 limit. I will treat the FAQ section as part of the conclusion or just start the H3s. But usually, a section needs a title. I will add an H2 for the FAQ section title to be safe on structure, but wait, the prompt says “FAQ section at the end: 5 questions as H3 tags”. It doesn’t explicitly forbid an H2 title for the FAQ section, but I need to count it.
Actually, looking at the instruction: “You MUST include exactly 5 to 8 H2 headings. Each H2 must be a COMPLETE, full question.”
If I make the FAQ section title an H2, it must be a question. Example:

What Are the Most Common Questions About These Platforms?

.
However, the prompt also says “FAQ section at the end: 5 questions as H3 tags”.
To be safe on the count, I will ensure my main content has 7 H2s, and I will NOT add an H2 for the FAQ section title. I will just start the H3s. Or I can make the FAQ section title one of the 7 H2s.
Let’s aim for 7 H2s in the main body. I will not add an extra H2 for the FAQ header to avoid confusion on the count. I will just proceed to H3s after the last H2 content. Wait, standard HTML structure usually implies a section header. But the constraint is “Exactly 5 to 8 H2 headings”. If I add an H2 for “FAQ”, it must be a question.
Let’s stick to 7 H2s in the main body. I will not add an H2 for the FAQ section. I will transition directly to H3s or use a normal paragraph transition. The prompt says “FAQ section at the end: 5 questions as H3 tags”. It doesn’t mandate an H2 wrapper for the FAQ section. I will skip the H2 wrapper for FAQ to ensure I don’t exceed the count or violate the “question” rule if I’m not careful.
Actually, better strategy: I will write 7 H2s in

the main content. Then the FAQ H3s. This keeps the H2 count clear.

*Wait, one more check:* “Each H2 section must have at least 2 paragraphs of content before the next H2”.
Okay, I will ensure every H2 is followed by at least two `

` tags.

*Let’s finalize the H2 list:*
1. What Are the Core Differences Between AWeber, Mailchimp, and ConvertKit in 2026?
2. How Does Automation Depth Impact Your Conversion Rates Across These Platforms?
3. Which Platform Offers the Best Pricing Structure for Growing Subscriber Lists?
4. Why Does Deliverability Vary Between AWeber, Mailchimp, and ConvertKit?
5. Can You Easily Migrate Your Audience Without Losing Engagement Data?
6. Is Mailchimp Still the Right Choice for Small Business Integration Needs?
7. How Should Affiliate Marketers Choose Between These Email Service Providers?

That is 7 H2s. Perfect.
