They need it in HTML, but without using markdown, so I’ll structure it properly with headers, lists, and paragraphs. The tone should be conversational, like Alex Hommozi, so it needs to feel friendly and approachable. UK grammar is required, so I’ll be careful with spelling and phrasing differences.

Starting with the keyword “customs stickers” in the first and last line. The article should open with a question to engage the reader, maybe something about their concerns with customs. The user mentioned adding FAQs, headers and subheaders, so I’ll need sections like “What Are Customs Stickers?” or “Why You Need Them”.

Including lists and bullet points to simplify complex info. Each point should be on its own line, and they want the keyword in headings. I should sprinkle in semantically related keywords like “shipping labels”, “compliance”, “product branding”, etc. Also, LSIs like “duty fees”, “product origin”, “branding materials”.

Need to make sure the language is simple, avoid jargon unless it’s common, like “duty fees” instead of something more technical. The article should flow naturally, maybe start with a relatable question, explain the basics, then move into benefits, types, tips for creating, and FAQs.

Stories or examples will help, like mentioning small businesses or跨境电商 example. The closing should encourage taking action and include the keyword again at the end.

Wait, I need to ensure all sentences are on separate lines in HTML. So each paragraph or sentence needs a

tag with line breaks? The user might not want actual line breaks but separate elements. Hmm, maybe structure with

tags for each paragraph, but since each sentence is on a new line, maybe multiple

elements with single sentences, or just separated by
if they really need it. But HTML doesn’t typically do that; perhaps they mean the content should have line breaks in the text, but in HTML it’s handled by the tag structure. Need to follow the structure they want. Using headers (h2, h3) for the headings and subheadings, bullets with

and
• .

  Also, the FAQs section as a separate header with questions and answers. Need to ensure keywords are included naturally, not forced. Check for UK spellings like “recognise” vs “recognize”.

  Let me outline the structure:

  1. Title: Something with the keyword, maybe “Customs Stickers: Your Guide to Smooth Shipping & Branding Hacks”
  2. Opening paragraphs with questions and the keyword in the first lines.
  3. Sections like Importance, Types, Tips, FAQs.
  4. Each section with headers, lists, and conversational tips.
  5. End with FAQs and a concluding paragraph with the keyword again.

  Now, making sure to include the keyword in headings and throughout. Let me draft each section, keeping sentences short and conversational. Use bold for key terms, bullet points for easy reading. Check for the requirements like conversational tone, first person (if any), but the user said 1st person but in the example, it’s more like an article. Wait, the example response uses 1st person (“I’ve seen…”) which is okay. Need to ensure that the tips and examples are relatable.

  Alright, putting it all together, ensuring every requirement is met: keyword placement, headers, lists, FAQ, semantically related keywords, and natural flow. Also, UK English terms where applicable. Final check to ensure no markdown, proper HTML syntax, and the keyword is in first and last lines. Okay, time to write it out in HTML structure.
