You’ve written your content, but now it’s time for the hard part: SEO. Keyword research, meta tags, internal linking—it feels like a foreign language. What if you could optimize an entire article with one simple command? This beginner-friendly prompt is your magic wand. It automates the technical SEO grind so you can focus on creating great content.
📋 The Prompt
**Article Title:** [Insert Your Article Title Here]
**Target Primary Keyword:** [Insert Your Main Keyword Here]
**Article Body:** [Paste Your Full Article Text Here]
**Please provide:**
1. A compelling SEO meta title (under 60 characters).
2. An engaging meta description (under 160 characters).
3. Three suggested subheadings (H2s) that naturally incorporate the primary keyword or related terms.
4. A list of 5-7 semantically related keywords or LSI keywords to include.
5. Three suggestions for internal links to existing relevant content on my site.
6. A recommendation for the optimal URL slug.
How It Works
This prompt works because it gives the AI a clear, structured role and a specific, actionable task. You’re not just asking for ‘SEO help’—you’re requesting a defined deliverable. The magic is in the step-by-step request.
First, by declaring ‘You are an expert SEO specialist,’ you prime the AI to think strategically, not just generically. Then, you feed it the three core ingredients: your title, your target keyword, and your raw content. This context is everything.
The six-point request is the real engine. It guides the AI to produce the exact technical elements you need, from the click-worthy meta description to the keyword-rich H2s. Asking for semantic keywords and internal links pushes the AI beyond basic keyword stuffing and into topic cluster strategy.

Simply paste in your draft, and in seconds, you get a checklist of improvements. It turns the overwhelming process of SEO into a simple, executable plan.
Pro Tips & Variations
Advanced Tweaks: Once you’re comfortable, add a seventh point: ‘Suggest an FAQ schema structure based on this content.’ This generates ready-to-use JSON-LD code. You can also ask it to ‘identify a key quote for a Twitter Card image.’
Common Mistake: The biggest error is pasting only the keyword without the article body. The AI needs the full context to make smart suggestions about subheadings and internal links. Garbage in, garbage out.
For Different Results: To focus more on strategy, change the role to ‘You are an SEO content strategist’ and ask for content gaps or angle suggestions instead of a technical report. This aligns with the strategic thinking needed for advanced campaigns.
Always treat the AI’s output as a first draft. Review the meta title for brand voice and ensure the internal link suggestions are genuinely relevant to your site’s architecture.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to be an SEO expert to use this prompt?
Not at all. That’s the point. This prompt is designed for beginners. You provide your content and a target keyword, and the AI acts as your expert, giving you a clear list of what to do next.
What if I don't have a 'Target Primary Keyword' yet?
Run the prompt without it first. Ask the AI to ‘suggest three potential primary keywords based on this article.’ Then, pick one and run the full prompt again. It’s an iterative process.
Can I use this for social media posts or product pages?
Absolutely. The framework is flexible. For a product page, your ‘article body’ becomes the product description. The AI will then suggest SEO elements tailored to commercial intent.
How accurate are the internal link suggestions?
They are context-based suggestions. You must verify the URLs exist on your site. The AI is identifying relevant topics, not pulling from your sitemap. Use it as a brainstorming aid.
Will this guarantee a #1 ranking on Google?
No single prompt can do that. SEO is multifaceted. This prompt expertly handles the on-page technical foundation. It’s a powerful first step that, when combined with quality content and backlinks, significantly boosts your potential.
