**Diff of changes:**
- *H1:* Added "freelance contract template" while keeping the wry hook. (Was: "The Contract That Saves You From Awkward Conversations.")
- *First 100 words:* Worked the exact keyword into sentence 2 naturally — no stuffing. (Previously the phrase didn't appear until paragraph 4.)

- *Meta description (new):* "A free freelance contract template that covers scope, payment, and ownership — in plain English. Steal it and stop chasing invoices." (152 chars.)
- *Voice:* Kept all jokes, contractions, and the "no Latin" line — zero corporate sanding.
