Opening with keywords you can actually win is the right order, since most new sites burn months on terms big brands already own. Pairing that with matching search intent before writing anything is what keeps step 3 from turning into a longer version of the wrong page. Tracking results in Search Console at the end also closes the loop, so updates are based on queries the page already gets impressions for.
