SEO Specialist
Category 1: Advanced Keyword Strategy & Intent Analysis
1. Semantic Keyword Clustering & Topic Modeling
Act as a senior SEO strategist. I have a primary target keyword: [Primary Target Keyword]. Analyze the search intent (informational, navigational, commercial, transactional) behind this keyword and its long-tail variations. Generate a comprehensive topic cluster map. The output should be a hierarchical list with a ‘Pillar Page’ concept at the top and multiple ‘Cluster Content’ ideas that support it. For each cluster idea, provide a primary keyword, 3-5 LSI keywords, and the dominant user intent.
2. ‘People Also Ask’ (PAA) Expansion & Content Gap Analysis
Analyze the ‘People Also Ask’ section for the top 5 search results for the keyword [Your Keyword]. Scrape and synthesize all unique PAA questions. Group these questions into thematic categories. For each category, generate a compelling H2 heading and a brief paragraph that directly answers the underlying question. Identify any questions not currently addressed on my page: [Your URL].
3. Zero-Click Search & Featured Snippet Strategy
My target keyword is [Your Keyword]. My goal is to capture the featured snippet. Analyze the current featured snippet holder and the top 3 ranking pages. Deconstruct the format of the current snippet (e.g., paragraph, list, table). Generate an optimized content block (under 50 words for a paragraph, or a 5-item list/table) that is structured to steal this snippet. The answer must be direct, authoritative, and use the inverted pyramid style.
4. Competitive Keyword Gap & ‘Keyword Cannibalization’ Audit
Act as an SEO analyst. Compare the keyword rankings for my domain [Your Domain] with my top three competitors: [Competitor 1 URL], [Competitor 2 URL], and [Competitor 3 URL]. Identify ‘keyword gaps’—high-volume keywords my competitors rank for in the top 10, but I don’t. Then, analyze my domain for potential keyword cannibalization issues where multiple pages are competing for the same primary keyword. Present the results in two tables: ‘Competitive Keyword Gap’ and ‘Potential Cannibalization Issues’ with URLs and the conflicting keyword.
Category 2: Content Optimization & E-E-A-T Enhancement

Here is the draft: [Paste your blog post text here].
6. Content Refresh & Historical Optimization Plan
I have an underperforming article located at [Your URL] targeting the keyword [Original Keyword]. The article was published over a year ago. Generate a ‘Content Refresh’ plan. Your plan should include: a new, more compelling title and meta description, suggestions for updating outdated statistics or information, a list of new LSI keywords to incorporate based on current SERP analysis, and recommendations for adding new sections to address recent developments or answer newly emerged user questions.
7. Programmatic SEO Content Brief Generation
Act as a programmatic SEO expert. I need to create templated content at scale for the topic [e.g., 'Best Time to Visit {City}']. Generate a master content brief template. This template should use variables like {City}, {Country}, {Best_Month}, {Worst_Month}, {Activity_1}, etc. The brief must outline the H1, H2, and H3 structure, specify which sections will contain unique AI-generated text and which will pull from a database, and recommend relevant schema markups (e.g., LocalBusiness, Event) to be programmatically inserted.
8. AI-Assisted Internal Linking Strategy
I’ve just written a new blog post on the topic of [New Blog Post Topic]. My website is [Your Website URL]. Crawl my site (or use a provided list of my top 20 blog posts) to identify at least 5 older articles that would be ideal candidates for adding an internal link to my new post. For each candidate, provide the URL and the exact anchor text to use, ensuring the anchor text is contextually relevant and varied.
Category 3: Technical SEO & Schema Markup
9. Advanced Schema Markup Combination (Nesting)

10. Robots.txt & Meta Robots Rule Generation for Complex Scenarios
Act as a technical SEO specialist. My website has the following structure: a /blog/ section, a /staging/ environment I need blocked, a /private/ members-only area, and faceted navigation URLs that create duplicate content issues with parameters like ?color= and ?size=. Generate an optimal robots.txt file that blocks the staging and private areas, and a set of X-Robots-Tag or meta name='robots' recommendations to handle the faceted navigation parameters using noindex, follow.
11. Core Web Vitals (CWV) Diagnostic & Action Plan
I have a PageSpeed Insights report for [Your URL] with the following metrics: LCP: [value], FID/INP: [value], CLS: [value]. Act as a web performance consultant. Based on these numbers, diagnose the most likely causes for poor performance in each category (e.g., ‘slow server response time for LCP’, ‘heavy JavaScript for INP’, ‘images without dimensions for CLS’). Then, create a prioritized action plan with specific, actionable recommendations for a developer to implement.
12. Log File Analysis Prompt for SEO Insights
Act as a data analyst specializing in SEO. I will provide a sample of my server log file data. Analyze this data to identify: Googlebot’s crawl frequency and budget allocation across different site sections (e.g., /blog/ vs. /products/), any crawl traps or wasted crawls (e.g., excessive crawling of low-value pages or 404s), and the correlation between crawl frequency and pages that rank well.

Act as a digital PR strategist. My company is in the [Your Industry] industry. Analyze the types of content that have historically earned the most backlinks for top publishers in this industry (e.g., [Competitor/Publisher 1], [Competitor/Publisher 2]). Identify common formats (e.g., original research reports, interactive tools, comprehensive guides, statistical roundups). Based on this analysis, brainstorm 5 unique, link-worthy asset ideas for my brand. For each idea, suggest a compelling title and a brief on why it would attract links.
15. HARO / Qwoted Pitch Template Generator
Generate three unique and compelling pitch templates for responding to journalist queries on platforms like HARO or Qwoted. The persona is an expert in [Your Area of Expertise] from [Your Company]. Each template should be structured differently: one short and direct, one providing a surprising statistic, and one leading with a contrarian opinion. Each template must be easily customizable and designed to grab a journalist’s attention immediately.
16. Broken Link Building Prospecting
Generate a list of 10 potential broken link building opportunities. Start with the target keyword [Your Target Keyword]. Identify a high-authority, but now defunct or 404-erroring resource that was frequently cited on this topic. Then, find 10 live pages that are still linking to that dead resource. For each opportunity, provide the URL of the page with the broken link. My replacement content is located at [Your Content URL].
Category 5: E-commerce & Local SEO

The checklist should be actionable and cover: responding to new reviews, uploading new photos (with specific category suggestions like ‘team’, ‘at work’, ‘new products’), publishing a new GBP Post (with 3 content ideas), and updating Q&As. Provide a template for a compelling GBP Post that includes a keyword-rich description, an offer, and a clear call-to-action.

Category 6: Strategic Analysis & Reporting
21. SEO Performance Executive Summary
Act as an SEO Director reporting to a non-technical CMO. I will provide you with key metrics from the last month: Organic Traffic: [e.g., 50,000 sessions, +5% MoM], Keyword Rankings: [e.g., 10 new keywords in top 3], Organic Conversions: [e.g., 500 conversions, -2% MoM], and Key Project Completed: [e.g., Site speed optimization]. Write a concise, 3-paragraph executive summary that explains what happened, why it happened, and what we are doing next. Translate the SEO jargon into business impact.

Act as a data scientist. I want to forecast organic traffic for my website for the next 6 months. Here is the traffic data for the last 24 months: [Paste monthly traffic data as CSV or list]. My industry, [Your Industry], has known seasonality (e.g., peaks in summer, dips in winter). Using this historical data, project the expected organic traffic for the next six months, accounting for both the overall growth trend and the seasonal fluctuations. Present the forecast in a table with ‘Month’ and ‘Projected Traffic’.
23. Competitive SERP Volatility Analysis
For the highly competitive keyword [Your Keyword], I’ve noticed significant ranking fluctuations recently. Postulate three distinct hypotheses for this SERP volatility. For each hypothesis (e.g., ‘Hypothesis 1: A recent Google algorithm update focusing on [X]’), describe what evidence I should look for in my analytics and competitor analysis to validate or disprove it. Suggest one strategic action I should take in response to each potential cause.
24. SEO & Paid Search (PPC) Synergy Plan
Analyze the following two data sets. DATA SET 1: A list of my top 10 organic keywords and their current ranking positions. DATA SET 2: A list of my top 10 performing PPC keywords and their average CPC. Identify strategic opportunities for synergy. Your recommendations should cover: which high-CPC keywords I should double-down on with SEO to reduce ad spend, which keywords ranking on page 2 organically I should support with a modest PPC budget, and how to use PPC ad copy A/B test results to inform my organic meta descriptions.
25. The ‘Pre-Mortem’ SEO Project Risk Analysis
I am about to launch a major website migration from [Old Platform] to [New Platform]. Act as a risk-averse senior SEO consultant. Conduct a ‘pre-mortem’ analysis.
