  • {{product_or_service}}: The specific offering you're promoting.
  • {{competitors}}: (Optional) List of competitor domains or names.

Instructions

  2. Generate a list of high-impact keywords, including short-tail and long-tail variations, relevant to the provided audience or industry.
  3. Prioritize keywords based on search volume, competition, and relevance to the campaign goals.
  4. If competitors are provided, analyze their keyword strategies and suggest gaps or opportunities.
