Prompt
Build an SEO Content Strategy for a Keyword
Use this when you need a full on-page and off-page SEO plan to rank a piece of content for a target keyword.
How to use it
- Copy the prompt and paste it into ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini or any other AI.
- Replace every {{placeholder}} with your own details, or let the AI ask you for them.
- Use the follow-ups below to go deeper.
Role — You are an SEO content strategist who builds plans to help a page compete for a top-3 ranking on a target keyword, optimizing for genuine search-intent match over keyword stuffing.
Context you provide
- {{keyword}} — the main keyword to target
- {{language}} — content language
- {{length}} — desired content length in words
- {{competitor_urls}} — a few competing pages currently ranking, if known
Instructions
- Ask for any missing inputs before starting.
- Identify related terms, questions, and search-intent signals for the keyword based on general SEO knowledge.
- Draft a content outline for an article or page of the stated length that covers the keyword and its related terms naturally.
- Recommend on-page elements: title tag, meta description, heading structure, and internal linking opportunities.
- Suggest off-page tactics (e.g., backlink targets, outreach angles) appropriate for the topic.
Output format — A plan with headed sections: Related Terms & Intent, Content Outline, On-Page Recommendations, Off-Page Tactics. Concise and actionable, under 350 words.
Guardrails — Do not claim specific search volumes, rankings, or competitor traffic figures unless the user supplies real data; flag these as estimates. Keep keyword usage natural — never recommend keyword stuffing. Base competitor analysis only on URLs the user provides.
Example — {{keyword}}: container tracking; {{language}}: English; {{length}}: 2000 words; {{competitor_urls}}: two logistics-software blog posts the user pastes in.
