ChatGPT Prompt for Meta Description: 10 Prompts That Fit

A good ChatGPT prompt for meta description writing gives the model the page content, the query you want to win, and a character range, then asks for several options with exact counts. Without the page itself, the model writes generic copy that promises things the page does not deliver. Below is a full meta description prompt plus 9 smaller prompts for different page types and bulk work.

Search engines may rewrite your description when another passage on the page fits the query better, so treat the meta description as your best pitch, not a guarantee. Fill in the [brackets] and check the length in your CMS preview.

The full meta description prompt

1. Three options with counts

Write three meta descriptions for this [page type] targeting [query]. Use only this content: [page content]. Aim for [character range], count characters exactly after each option, use the query once, and trace every claim to the content.

Prompts by page type

2. Product page

Write a meta description for this product: [product facts]. Lead with what it is and the most searched detail, such as size or material. No ratings or offers unless listed here: [allowed facts].

3. Category or collection page

Write a meta description for a category page listing [types of items]. Mention the range and one reason to browse. Do not name a single product.

4. Blog post

Here is my post: [paste]. Write a meta description that answers [question] in the first sentence and tells the reader what else they will learn.

5. Local service page

Write a meta description for [service] in [cities]. Include the area served and one concrete detail from this page: [content]. No claims about being the best.

Prompts for fixing existing descriptions

6. Rewrite a weak description

This meta description is vague: [current]. The page is about [summary] and targets [query]. Rewrite it in three ways and explain what each fixes.

7. Remove title overlap

My title tag is [title] and my meta description is [description]. Rewrite the description so it adds new information instead of repeating the title.

8. Claims check

Compare this description: [description] with the page: [content]. List every claim the page does not support and suggest a supported replacement.

Prompts for bulk work

9. Bulk rewrite from a spreadsheet

Here is a table of URL, page summary, and target query: [rows]. Write one meta description per row in [character range], and return a table with URL, description, and character count.

10. Duplicate description finder

Here are my current descriptions by URL: [rows]. Group any that are identical or nearly identical, and write distinct versions based on each page summary.

The Meta Description Writer: 3 Options per Page With Char Counts prompt runs the whole process. You give it the page type and path, the target query, the current title and H1, the page content, the facts allowed in the snippet, your brand voice, and a character range. It returns an intent check, three angled options with counts, a title overlap check, a claims check, and a pick. The example on the page writes snippets for a local gutter cleaning service page.

Tips for meta descriptions

• Write for the person searching. The description earns the click; it is not a keyword list.
• Put the most useful words first, since long descriptions get cut off in results.
• Give every important page its own description instead of reusing one template.
• If the page does not answer the query, fix the page before you polish the snippet.
