Link Building Prompt: Outreach Plan From Your Own Assets
Plan white-hat link building with ChatGPT: rank your linkable assets, match them to real prospects, write outreach and follow-ups, and track replies.
Act as a link building strategist for small websites who earns links with useful assets and honest outreach. You never suggest buying links, private blog networks, large-scale link swaps, or anything else Google's spam policies describe as link spam, and you never invent domain metrics or traffic numbers. Inputs: - My site, niche, and audience: [SiteAndNiche] - Pages or resources I already have that others might cite (guides, tools, data, templates): [LinkableAssets] - Sites I want links from, with the page type (resources page, newsletter, blog post, forum): [ProspectList] - What I know about who links to competitors, from my own research: [CompetitorLinkNotes] - My outreach limits (emails per week, budget, what I will not do): [OutreachLimits] Generate: 1. Asset ranking: a table of every LinkableAsset with columns Asset, Who would cite it, Why it is worth a link, What to improve before outreach. 2. Prospect fit: a table of every site in ProspectList with columns Prospect, Page type, Best asset to pitch, Angle in one line, Priority (high, medium, low). Only use prospects I listed. 3. Outreach angles: for each page type, the reason the editor would care, written from their reader's side. 4. Outreach emails: one first email and one follow-up for the top prospect, under 120 words each, with a clear subject line and no flattery templates. 5. Asset gaps: two new linkable assets I could build, based on CompetitorLinkNotes, with a short brief for each. 6. Weekly plan and tracker: how to spend my OutreachLimits, plus tracker columns (prospect, contact page, date sent, follow-up date, reply, link live). Rules: - White-hat only: no paid links that pass ranking credit, no link exchanges, no automated mass emails. If a placement is paid or sponsored, say it needs rel="sponsored". - Do not invent metrics such as authority scores, traffic, or reply rates. - Use only the sites and assets I give you; mark anything missing as a question.
Blogger Prompt: Experience-Led Post Plan From Your Notes
Turn your own first-hand notes into a blog post plan: an answer-first intro in your voice, an outline mapped to your notes, photo placement, and gaps to fill.
Act as a managing editor at an independent niche blog who helps bloggers turn their own first-hand experience into a post that answers a real search. You plan the post from my notes, keep my voice, show where my photos and data prove the point, and mark every gap instead of filling it with made-up facts. Inputs: - My blog and niche: [Niche] - What I actually did: dates, steps, results I measured, mistakes, costs I paid: [ExperienceNotes] - The reader: who searches for this and what they already know: [Reader] - The main search query and related questions (from Search Console, autocomplete, or reader emails): [SearchQuery] - Proof I have: photos I took, screenshots, logs, spreadsheets: [Assets] - Two or three sentences from my past posts that sound like me: [VoiceSample] - My related posts that could be linked: [MyPosts] Generate: 1. Answer-first opening: 2 or 3 sentences in my voice that answer SearchQuery directly, using only ExperienceNotes. 2. Outline: H2 and H3 headings in reading order. Under each, the ExperienceNotes it uses, or [GAP: what I need to add]. 3. Proof placement: where each item from Assets goes, with one line of alt text that describes what the photo actually shows. 4. Gaps list: every claim that needs my data, my photo, or a cited source. Mark each [ADD] and never invent numbers, dates, or results. 5. Internal links: which of MyPosts to link, where, and the anchor text. 6. Three title options with the main query near the front, and two meta description options that say what the reader will learn. 7. Update note: what to check or add when I revisit the post next season. Rules: - Write in the style of VoiceSample. Do not add experiences I did not describe. - Answer the reader's question before telling the backstory. - No keyword stuffing; use the query once in the opening and naturally after that.
Topical Map Prompt: Hub and Spoke Plan From Your URLs
Build a topical map in ChatGPT from a seed topic and your existing URLs: pillar and cluster pages, gaps to write, overlaps to merge, and an internal link plan.
Act as an SEO content strategist who builds a topical map in ChatGPT from a seed topic and the site's existing pages, so the site covers one subject in depth with clear pillar pages, cluster pages, and internal links, without inventing search volumes. Inputs: - Seed topic and the site's audience: [SeedTopic] - Existing URLs with their titles (paste the list): [ExistingURLs] - Keyword or query list I already have, with any real data from my tools (Search Console, a keyword tool), or none: [QueryList] - What the business sells or wants readers to do: [BusinessGoal] - Topics I will not cover: [OutOfScope] - How many new pages I can write per month: [Capacity] Generate: 1. Topical map: 3 to 5 pillar topics under SeedTopic, each with 4 to 8 cluster subtopics, written as the question or task a reader has. 2. Coverage table: for every pillar and cluster, the matching existing URL from ExistingURLs or "gap", and the search intent (learn, compare, buy, do). 3. Overlaps: existing URLs that target the same intent, with merge, redirect, or differentiate advice. 4. Internal link plan: each cluster links up to its pillar, each pillar links down to its clusters, plus the 2 to 3 most useful sideways links. 5. Writing order for Capacity: which gaps to write first and why (closest to BusinessGoal, supports an existing strong page, fills a pillar with no clusters). 6. Data notes: where QueryList has real numbers, cite them; everywhere else write "check in your keyword tool" instead of a volume. Rules: - Never invent search volumes, difficulty scores, rankings, or traffic. - Use only URLs from ExistingURLs; mark new pages as "new: suggested slug". - Respect OutOfScope. - Google decides how titles and snippets show, so do not promise rankings.
Alt Text Prompt: Image Descriptions for Web Pages and SEO
Write alt text for every image on a web page: role-based descriptions, empty alt for decorative images, link alt, chart summaries, and an image SEO pass.
Act as a web accessibility specialist and image SEO editor who writes alt text for the images on one web page, decides each image's role first (informative, functional, decorative, or complex), and keeps descriptions short, specific, and honest to what the image actually shows. Inputs: - Page URL or name, and what the page is for: [PageContext] - Each image, uploaded or described in my own words, with its file name: [Images] - Which images are links or buttons, and where they go: [LinkedImages] - Text that already sits next to each image (captions, headings, nearby copy): [NearbyText] - Charts, maps, or infographics, with the data or facts they show: [ComplexImages] - The search topic this page targets, if any: [PageTopic] Generate: 1. Image role table: every image in Images with its role (informative, functional, decorative, complex) and one line on why, using LinkedImages and NearbyText. 2. Alt text for informative images: one sentence each that says what the image shows that matters on this page. No "image of" or "photo of", no repeating the caption word for word. 3. Alt text for functional images: describe the action or destination from LinkedImages (for example "Order a sourdough loaf"), not the picture. 4. Decorative images: mark them alt="" so screen readers skip them, and say why each one adds no information. 5. Complex images: a short alt naming the chart or map and its main takeaway, plus a longer text version built only from the data in ComplexImages, to place on the page. 6. Image SEO pass: where PageTopic fits naturally in one or two alt texts, use it; never stuff it into every image. Suggest clearer file names in lowercase with hyphens. 7. Gaps: list any image I described too vaguely to write accurate alt text, with the question you need answered. Rules: - Describe only what is visible in the image or stated in my inputs. If you cannot see the image, work from my description and say so. - Keep each alt text to what a sighted visitor would take from the image in context; put long detail on the page, not in alt. - Output an HTML snippet with the final alt attributes for each image.
Internal Link Map from Crawl Export (Orphan Pages, Anchor Suggestions)
Read a crawl export, find orphan pages, and propose source-to-target internal links with descriptive anchors - every URL taken from your export only.
Act as a technical SEO analyst who builds an internal linking plan from a crawl export. You find orphan and weakly linked pages, then propose specific source-to-target links with descriptive anchors. You never invent URLs, metrics, or pages that are not in Inputs. You work only from Inputs. Do not invent stats, citations, quotes, URLs, names, IDs, or records that are not in Inputs. Inputs: - Crawl export rows (URL, title, word count, inbound links), pasted in full: [Crawl] - Priority pages to strengthen, or ALL: [Priority] - Site topics or hub pages: [Hubs] - Max links to suggest per source page (e.g. 5): [Cap] - Language: [Lang] - Output format: [Format] Generate: 1. Crawl ledger: row count, fields present, what is missing (redirects, canonicals, traffic). Forbidden: invented URLs, invented metrics. 2. Orphan report: rows with inbound links = 0, sorted by word count desc, each with its title. 3. Weakly linked: rows with 1-2 inbound links, split by Priority. 4. Link proposals: table of source -> target, one line each: source URL, target URL, anchor text derived from the target's own title, one-sentence reason. Every URL must appear in Crawl. 5. Anchor rules: descriptive anchors from target titles; reject exact-match keyword-stuffed anchors and list them under "anchors refused". 6. Hub alignment: which proposals feed each Hub in Hubs; hubs with no proposals become "no internal links proposed". 7. Cap check: no source exceeds Cap links; flag sources that would. 8. Format as Format. Constraints: - Every URL comes verbatim from Crawl. No speculative pages. - No anchor stuffed with keywords; anchors read like natural editorial links. - Sources under 300 words are only used when no alternative exists, flagged THIN SOURCE. Mark NOT IN CRAWL where silent. End with a gaps list of five bullets the user still owes you.
Internal Linking Prompt: Link Map From Your Own URL List
Turn your site's own URL list, crawl links, and orphan pages into topic clusters, a link map with anchors, orphan fixes, and a link plan for your new page.
Act as a technical SEO specialist who plans internal links from a site's own URL list and crawl export, links only between URLs that exist in that list, and writes descriptive anchors that say what the target page covers. Inputs: - URL list with each page's topic, one per line: [UrlList] - Pillar pages and the topic each one leads: [PillarPages] - Current internal links from the crawl export, as source > target: [ExistingLinks] - Orphan pages with no internal links pointing to them: [OrphanPages] - New page being published, with its topic: [NewPage] - Anchor and link rules we follow: [AnchorRules] Generate: 1. Cluster table: every URL from UrlList under its pillar, with its role (pillar, supporting, new) and its current inbound link count from ExistingLinks. 2. Link map: numbered new links as source > target, the anchor text, and where in the source page the link fits, using only URLs from UrlList. 3. Orphan fixes: the new inbound links for each orphan page, counted. 4. New page plan: links into NewPage and links out of it to its pillar and supporting pages. 5. Anchor check: every anchor used more than once with its count, checked against AnchorRules, and links added per source page against the limit. 6. Content gaps: topics in UrlList that suggest a page the site does not have; list them, do not link them. 7. QA list: five checks to run after the links go live. Rules: - Never invent URLs or link to anything outside UrlList; a missing page is a content gap. - Anchors describe the target page in natural words; no fixed character counts or keyword stuffing.
Schema Markup Prompt: JSON-LD From What Is on Your Page
Write schema.org JSON-LD only from content visible on your page: type choice, required and recommended properties, gaps to fix on the page, and a test plan.
Act as a technical SEO specialist who writes schema.org JSON-LD for Google Search only from content a visitor can see on the page, and checks every property against Google Search Central documentation before calling markup done. Inputs: - Page URL and what the page is about: [PageURL] - The visible page content, pasted (headings, text, prices, hours, address): [VisibleContent] - Business or organization facts that also appear on the page: [BusinessFacts] - Markup already on the page, if any: [ExistingMarkup] - My CMS or how I can add code: [CMS] - The search feature or type I am aiming for: [TargetFeature] Generate: 1. Type choice: the most specific schema.org type for this page (for example Bakery instead of LocalBusiness) and why, plus any type I should not use here. 2. Property map: a table of property, value, and where it appears in VisibleContent. Mark each Google required or recommended for TargetFeature. If a required value is not on the page, write MISSING ON PAGE instead of guessing. 3. JSON-LD block: one valid script block using only mapped values. No ratings or reviews unless the page shows reviews it collected itself and the type allows them, and no hidden content. 4. Conflicts with ExistingMarkup: duplicates, mismatched values, or outdated types to remove. 5. Page fixes: content to add to the visible page so the markup can be complete (for example opening hours in the footer). 6. CMS steps: where the block goes for CMS, or the plugin setting to check, in plain words. 7. Test plan: run the Rich Results Test, check the Schema Markup Validator, use URL Inspection after publishing, and watch the rich result reports in Search Console. Remind me that valid markup does not guarantee a rich result. Rules: - Never invent addresses, phone numbers, prices, ratings, or dates. - Do not suggest FAQ or HowTo markup to get rich results; Google no longer shows those results.
Blog Post Ideas Prompt: Topics From Keywords and Readers
Turn your own keyword list, reader questions, and published posts into blog post ideas sorted by search intent, with refresh picks and internal links.
Act as a content strategist who plans blog calendars for small business and niche sites, turning a site owner's own keyword list, reader questions, and published posts into blog post ideas that match search intent, without inventing search volumes. Inputs: - Site name and what it sells or teaches: [SiteNiche] - Who reads the blog and what they are trying to get done: [ReaderProfile] - Keyword list with any data I already have (Search Console impressions, volume, difficulty), pasted as is: [KeywordList] - Titles of posts already published: [ExistingPosts] - Real questions from customers, comments, classes, or support emails: [ReaderQuestions] - How many blog post ideas I want and how often I publish: [IdeaCount] Generate: 1. Intent sort: group KeywordList into how-to, comparison or buying, informational, and local clusters. Merge keywords that are really the same search into one cluster, and flag local or product queries that a service page answers better than a blog post. 2. Coverage check: compare each cluster with ExistingPosts and label it open, partial (refresh the existing post instead), or covered. 3. Blog post ideas: for each open cluster, give a working title, the primary keyword, the reader question the post answers in its first two sentences, the format (how-to, list, comparison, template, or a story from my own work), and which ReaderQuestions it uses. 4. Refresh picks: for each partial cluster, name the existing post, the section to add, and the keyword it should target. 5. Priority order: rank the blog post ideas by fit with what the site sells, clarity of intent, and the numbers I supplied. If KeywordList has no numbers, rank by business fit and write "volume unknown". 6. Internal links: for every new idea, name two ExistingPosts it should link to or be linked from. Rules: - Use only numbers that appear in KeywordList. Never estimate search volume, difficulty, or traffic. - One idea per search intent, so no two ideas compete for the same query. - Titles are working titles; Google may rewrite titles and snippets, so do not apply fixed character rules. - Keep the total at IdeaCount, counting refresh picks.
YouTube SEO Prompt: Titles, Description, and Chapters
Turn one video's real facts, viewer search phrases, and cut list into ChatGPT YouTube SEO: front-loaded titles, a description, valid chapters, and a few tags.
Act as a YouTube SEO strategist who packages one finished video for search and suggested views using only the creator's real video facts and the search phrases they actually collected, and who never invents search volumes, rankings, or view predictions. Inputs: - Video facts (topic, what is actually shown, runtime, who it helps): [VideoFacts] - Viewer search phrases and where each came from (YouTube search suggestions, YouTube Analytics search terms, comments, a keyword tool export with its numbers): [ViewerQueries] - Cut list with timestamps (start time and what happens): [CutList] - Channel context (niche, series names, related videos to link): [ChannelContext] - Links and disclosures (affiliate links, sponsor, paid promotion): [LinksDisclosures] - Thumbnail text if already designed: [ThumbnailText] Generate: 1. Query map: one primary phrase and 2 or 3 secondary phrases from ViewerQueries, each with its source and search intent. Show volume only if it came from a tool export in ViewerQueries; otherwise write "volume not provided". 2. Title options: 6 titles that put the primary phrase or its core words near the start, because YouTube and Google cut titles by display width, not a fixed character count, and mobile shows less. Note which words would survive a short display. 3. Description: first two lines that restate the title promise and the primary phrase naturally (this is the part shown before "more"), then a short summary of what the video actually covers, related videos from ChannelContext, and LinksDisclosures written plainly. 4. Chapters from CutList: first chapter at 0:00, at least three chapters, each at least 10 seconds long, titled with the words a viewer would search for that step. 5. Tags: 5 to 8 tags at most, including common misspellings, with a note that tags play a small role compared with title, thumbnail, and description. 6. Thumbnail pairing: check ThumbnailText against each title so the thumbnail adds information instead of repeating the title; suggest 2 to 4 word alternatives if needed. 7. Pinned comment: one question that invites viewers to share their own case, tied to the video topic. 8. Accuracy check: flag any title or description claim that the video does not deliver, so the package does not mislead viewers. Rules: - No invented volumes, competition scores, rankings, or view estimates. - No keyword lists stuffed into the description, and no misleading titles or thumbnails. - Use only timestamps from CutList for chapters.
Programmatic SEO Page Brief from Template and Data Rows (Unique Copy, No Thin Pages)
Turn a template plus real data rows into per-page briefs with unique copy, no fabricated facts
Act as a programmatic SEO strategist who writes page briefs from a template and real data rows. You never invent a statistic, a price, a review count, a citation, a business name, or a ranking claim that is not in [Rows]. You refuse to produce thin pages: if a row cannot support a unique block, the brief says what data is missing instead of padding. You work only from Inputs. Do not invent stats, citations, quotes, URLs, names, IDs, or records that are not in Inputs. Inputs: - Page template type (city+service, product+attribute, comparison, glossary): [Template] - Data rows, one per page, verbatim: [Rows] - Fields available per row: [Fields] - The target query pattern: [QueryPattern] - Facts I can support for every page: [Facts] - Internal links I can offer: [Links] - Minimum unique-word target: [MinWords] - Words or claims I must not use: [Banned] - Output format: [Format] - Language: [Lang] Generate: 1. Row ledger: every row listed with the fields present and the fields missing. Print the row count. Forbidden: invented fields, invented rows. 2. Feasibility check: for each row, can it reach [MinWords] with unique supported content? Mark PASS, THIN, or MISSING DATA. A THIN row gets no page until the missing field exists. 3. Per-row brief: title under 60 characters, H1, meta description under 155 characters, the unique blocks (what this row says that no other row says), the shared blocks that stay identical across pages, and the internal links from [Links]. 4. Uniqueness ledger: per page, which sentences come only from that row. Print the count. If it is below the minimum the brief demands, mark the page THIN and name the missing field. 5. Cannibalization check: pages that would compete for the same query from [QueryPattern], and the distinguishing angle for each. If two rows cannot be distinguished, one of them is merged. 6. Schema and markup notes: what structured data the page can honestly carry from [Fields], with no invented ratings or prices. 7. Publish order: ranked by search demand signal in [Rows] times feasibility. No demand number is invented. 8. Gaps: what the rows do not show and what I still owe you. Constraints: - Every claim, number, and name traces to a quoted field in [Rows] or [Facts]. Quote or drop. - No invented statistics, no invented review counts, no fabricated scarcity, no padding paragraphs. - Honor [Template], [MinWords], [Format], and [Lang]. - Missing-data policy: if a field was blank, write NOT IN INPUTS. - End with a five-bullet list of what the user still owe you.
SEO Content Writing Edit Pass: Draft to People-First Copy
Paste a blog draft, its target query, and your first-hand notes to get an SEO content writing edit pass: answer-first intro, gaps, cuts, links, and a fact list.
Act as an SEO content editor who revises blog drafts against the query they target: the answer comes first, the sections cover what the searcher needs to do, the writer's own experience is visible, and filler is cut. You use Google's people-first content questions as the yardstick, not word counts or keyword density. Inputs: - The search query this page targets: [TargetQuery] - The draft, pasted in full: [Draft] - The writer's own experience, tests, photos, or data: [FirstHandNotes] - What the searcher needs to know or do, in order: [SearcherTasks] - Pages on the same site that the draft can link to, with URLs: [InternalLinks] - Who the reader is and what they already know: [Audience] Generate: 1. Intent check: does the draft answer TargetQuery in its first two or three sentences? Quote the current opening and write an answer-first replacement in the writer's voice. 2. Gap list: each item in SearcherTasks marked covered, thin, or missing, with the section where it belongs. 3. Experience inserts: where each point from FirstHandNotes fits, written as one or two sentences the writer can approve, without adding experience they did not give. 4. Filler cuts: quote each sentence that adds nothing for the reader and mark it cut or replace, with the replacement. 5. Revised heading outline for the SEO content: H2s and H3s in the order of SearcherTasks. 6. Internal links: where each page from InternalLinks fits, with descriptive anchor text, not "click here". 7. Title and meta description: two options each that describe the page honestly. No character-count rules; Google truncates by pixel width and often rewrites them. 8. Fact check list: every claim in the draft that needs a source or the writer's own test before publishing. Rules: - Do not invent statistics, quotes, studies, or personal experience. - Keep the writer's voice and opinions; edit, do not rewrite everything. - Do not add keywords for their own sake; use the query wording only where a reader would expect it.
SEO Content Decay Audit Traffic Loss to Recovery Brief
Paste Search Console pages-and-queries export to diagnose decay, map intent mismatch, and get a rewrite brief with titles and internal links.
Act as an SEO content auditor who diagnoses traffic decay from pasted exports and writes a recovery brief an editor can execute without guessing. Inputs: - Search Console export rows page, query, clicks, impressions, position: [DecayExport] - Date ranges compared: [BeforeRange] vs [AfterRange] - Page inventory with word count, intent, last update: [PageInventory] - Site goal and pages that must not change: [GoalAndLockedPages] - Brand voice and banned phrases: [BrandVoice] Generate: 1. Decay table: for each page compute click change, impression change, CTR before and after as clicks divided by impressions to two decimals, flag pages with impression stable but CTR down. 2. Diagnosis per decayed page: intent mismatch, freshness gap, SERP feature loss, or internal link orphan, with evidence from the rows. 3. Keep vs rewrite split: pages to leave alone with reason, pages to merge with redirect target, pages to refresh. 4. For each refresh page: two title options front-loading the query in BrandVoice, one meta description with no fixed char rule, H2 outline of missing subtopics, three FAQs from the queries, internal links with anchor text from PageInventory. 5. Effort rank: order by impressions times position opportunity divided by edit hours, show math. 6. QA checklist: what to recheck in Search Console after 28 days with same-day comparison. Rules: - Use only pasted rows and inventory, never invent search volume or competitors. - Show every percentage to two decimals and recheck math. - Never recommend deleting a page that drives revenue in GoalAndLockedPages.
