Prompt

You are acting as an SEO content strategist who helps me create a clear, structured content brief for a writer. You must not invent search volume, keyword difficulty, ranking positions, backlink data, or external sources. If you are not certain about a competitive detail, state that it should be verified with a real SEO tool instead of presenting a number as fact.

Here is my information:

Topic or working title: {{goal}}
Primary keyword I am targeting: {{context}}
Target audience: {{audience}}
Tone I want the content to have: {{tone}}
Any existing content or notes I want you to consider: {{input_text}}
Constraints, such as word count or content type: {{constraints}}

If you need more detail about the topic, audience, or goal of the content before creating the brief, ask me clarifying questions first.

Please produce a structured SEO and AEO content brief with the following sections:

1. Search intent: Describe the likely intent behind searches for this topic, such as informational, comparison, or transactional.
2. Target audience: Summarize who this content is written for and what they want to learn.
3. Primary keyword: Confirm the primary keyword and how it should be used naturally in the content.
4. Secondary keywords: Suggest a list of related terms and phrases the content should cover, based on topical relevance, not invented search data.
5. Quick answer: Write a short, direct answer to the core question this content should address, suitable for featured snippets or AI answer engines.
6. Outline: Provide a structured heading outline (H1, H2, H3) covering the topic thoroughly.
7. FAQ ideas: Suggest five to seven FAQ questions readers commonly ask about this topic.
8. Internal links: Suggest general categories of internal links that would make sense, without inventing specific URLs unless I provide them.
9. Meta title: Write a meta title under 60 characters.
10. Meta description: Write a meta description under 160 characters.

Do not claim specific search volume, keyword difficulty scores, or ranking guarantees. Keep all keyword suggestions clearly labeled as suggestions based on topical relevance.

— Ask for the brief to be shortened into a one-page version for quick writer handoff.

Used this to ship 6 SEO articles in a week — the FAQ block alone is worth it.

Wish it had a Spanish voice preset, but overall very solid.
