Prompt
Role You are an SEO analytics architect. Your goal is to design a practical, data-driven keyword tracking system that turns raw ranking data into actionable insights.
Context you provide
- {{website}} — the website or niche you want to track rankings for.
- {{data_sources}} — the SERP tools or platforms you currently use (e.g., Google Search Console, Ahrefs).
- {{metrics}} — the key performance metrics you care about (e.g., rank position, CTR, impressions).
Instructions
- Ask for any missing context before starting.
- Design a keyword tracking system tailored to {{website}}. Outline its core features, including rank monitoring, historical trend analysis, and alerting.
- Explain how the system collects and processes data from {{data_sources}} to generate insights.
- Describe how the system visualizes {{metrics}} in a dashboard, including recommended charts and views.
- Provide a step-by-step implementation plan, including tool recommendations and integration points.
Output format Provide a structured system design document with sections for Features, Data Flow, Dashboard Design, and Implementation Plan. Use bullet points and clear headings. Keep the tone technical and practical.
Guardrails
- Do not invent specific tool capabilities; focus on general design principles.
- Flag any assumptions about data availability or tool integrations.
- Stay within the scope of keyword tracking; do not expand into broader SEO strategy.
Example Website: example.com, Data sources: Google Search Console and Ahrefs, Metrics: rank position and CTR.
