AI for SEO Specialist / Content Marketing Manager
Content brief production alone can consume 5–30 hours per month when you're managing 5–15 briefs, and monthly reporting across GA4, GSC, Ahrefs, and rank trackers adds another 2–4 hours per client before you've written a word of analysis. These guides show you how to generate briefs, cluster keywords, write meta copy at scale, and build client-ready reporting narratives — so the repetitive work stops eating your most valuable thinking hours.

A clear analysis of which pages were affected and why, plus a 150-word client-ready explanation that's calm, analytical, and non-alarming — even when traffic dropped.
Google's [update name] targeted [focus areas]. Here is organic traffic by page before and after [date]: [paste data]. Identify affected page types, explain why, draft a 150-word client explanation. Non-technical tone.
View full prompt →Tip: Use this during the 48-72 hours after a core update when clients are panicking — a first draft beats a rushed reply. Add "our client is worried — reassure them while being honest" if you need the tone to be particularly measured.
Your Screaming Frog or SEMrush audit issues categorized by ranking impact — Critical, Important, and Minor — with a plain-English explanation of what each means and what to fix first.
You are a senior technical SEO. Here is an audit export: [paste issues]. Categorize each as Critical, Important, or Minor for ranking impact. For Critical and Important, explain the issue and the recommended fix.
View full prompt →Tip: Use Claude for large audits — its context window handles much more data without truncating. If the export is too large, paste just the "Issues" summary tab rather than every URL row to stay within limits.
A structured content brief with target keywords, recommended headings, competitor gaps, and word count — ready to send to a writer or use yourself.
You are an SEO content strategist. Target keyword: [keyword]. Top competitors: [list 3 URLs]. Write a brief: search intent, 6 semantic keywords, 5 H2 headings, 2 competitor gaps, recommended word count.
View full prompt →Tip: Always sanity-check the "competitor gaps" section against what you actually know ranks well — that's where AI assumptions are most likely to miss nuance. Add "top competitor angles to avoid: [X, Y]" to steer the brief away from overcrowded approaches.
An exact regex pattern you can paste into Google Search Console's custom filter to segment your queries by intent, page type, competitor mentions, or branded vs. non-branded traffic.
Write a Google Search Console regex filter to [describe what you want to show or exclude in plain English]. My domain: [domain]. Format: just the regex pattern, no explanation.
View full prompt →Tip: Describe what you want in plain English — "show all queries containing 'vs' or 'alternative' but not my brand name" — and it handles the regex syntax. Paste the result into GSC and test; errors show a message but won't break anything.
Your raw keyword export organized into named topic clusters, each with a primary keyword identified and funnel stage labeled — ready for content calendar planning.
Group these [N] keywords into topic clusters for a [industry/niche] brand. For each cluster: cluster name, primary keyword, secondary keywords, funnel stage (top/mid/bottom). Keywords: [paste list]
View full prompt →Tip: Paste the exact Ahrefs or SEMrush export columns — keyword, volume, difficulty — rather than just a keyword list. Check the funnel stage labels against your own judgment; those occasionally need adjusting for context-specific meaning.
Unique, under-160-character meta descriptions for a batch of pages — keyword-included, click-worthy, and ready to paste into your CMS.
Write SEO meta descriptions (under 160 chars each) for these pages. Include the target keyword. Make each compelling with a clear benefit. Table: URL | Keyword | Meta Description. Pages: [paste your list]
View full prompt →Tip: Copy the formatted table directly into a spreadsheet for easier review. Paste any over-length results back and ask "shorten these to under 155 chars" — it's faster than editing character counts manually.
A concise, personalized outreach email that references the prospect's specific content and proposes your link naturally — no "I hope this finds you well."
Write a link building outreach email to [site name]. They write about [their topic]. My content: [your URL/topic]. Keep it under 100 words. Compliment one specific thing about their site. Propose the link naturally.
View full prompt →Tip: Include a specific detail about their site — a recent article title or unique angle — rather than a general compliment. The more specific the reference, the higher your reply rate. Add "casual, friendly tone — like one marketer to another" if it reads too stiff.
A clear, jargon-free executive summary paragraph (or three) that translates your analytics data into plain-English wins, concerns, and next steps — ready for a non-technical client or CMO.
You're an SEO consultant writing for a non-technical CMO. Goal: [client's main goal]. Data: [paste key metrics]. Write a 3-paragraph summary: wins and what drove them, anything to watch, 3 priorities for next month.
View full prompt →Tip: Always adjust the "priorities" paragraph to match what you're actually planning — it's the section most likely to drift from your real strategy. Add "avoid all SEO jargon — use 'website visitors' not 'organic sessions'" for clients who tune out at technical terms.
Valid JSON-LD structured data code for your page — ready to paste into your CMS `<head>` or a schema plugin, with no syntax errors.
Generate valid JSON-LD schema markup for a [Article/FAQ/Product/HowTo] page. Title: [title]. Author: [name]. Published: [date]. Organization: [org]. URL: [url]. Output only the JSON-LD code block.
View full prompt →Tip: Always validate the output at search.google.com/test/rich-results before publishing — it catches edge-case syntax issues. For FAQ schema, include the actual Q&A pairs in your prompt rather than asking the AI to write them.
Five alternative title tags for a page — each using a different psychological hook (curiosity, specificity, number-based, question, urgency) — so you can pick the best for CTR testing.
Write 5 title tag variants for this page. Target keyword: [keyword]. Current title: [current]. Under 60 chars each. Use: curiosity, number, question, specificity, benefit hooks. One per line.
View full prompt →Tip: The "number" and "specificity" variants typically outperform curiosity hooks — try those first. If any run over 60 characters, paste them back and ask "shorten to under 55 characters" rather than editing manually.
A plain-English email explaining a Google algorithm update to your client — what happened, what it means for them, and what you're doing about it.
Write a client email explaining a Google [UPDATE NAME] update. Client is in [INDUSTRY]. Their traffic [went up X% / dropped X% / was unaffected]. What we know about the update: [1-2 sentences] Actions we're taking: [list any planned steps, or "monitoring"] Tone: reassuring and professional. No jargon. Under 200 words.
View full prompt →Tip: Add "Do not use phrases like 'Google's complex algorithm' or 'volatile landscape' — keep it concrete and factual" to avoid vague filler language that frustrates clients.
A professional, empathetic email response to a client who is frustrated about ranking drops or slow progress — acknowledging their concern, explaining the situation clearly, and outlining next steps.
Draft a professional email response to a client upset that their rankings dropped. Situation: [brief description — e.g., "Core update hit their site, traffic down 20%, client is threatening to cancel"] What actually happened: [your honest assessment of the cause] What we're doing about it: [list 2-3 concrete actions] Tone: empathetic but factual. Don't be defensive. Don't over-promise. Under 200 words.
View full prompt →Tip: Read the draft carefully before sending — remove any phrasing that sounds like deflection ("these things happen in SEO") and make sure every promised action is something you'll actually do.
A batch of SEO-optimized title tags (under 60 chars) and meta descriptions (under 160 chars) for a list of pages — ready to copy into your CMS or spreadsheet.
Write SEO title tags and meta descriptions for these [NUMBER] pages. Title tags must be under 60 characters including brand name. Meta descriptions under 160 characters, benefit-focused. Pages and target keywords: [PAGE NAME] — [TARGET KEYWORD] [PAGE NAME] — [TARGET KEYWORD] Brand name: [BRAND NAME] Tone: [professional/friendly/authoritative]
View full prompt →Tip: Paste 10-20 pages at once for best results. If titles come back too long, add "Rewrite any titles over 58 characters — prioritize keyword at the start."
A 3-month content calendar with article titles, target keywords, content type (how-to, listicle, comparison, etc.), and a brief publishing rationale for each piece — tailored to a client's industry...
Create a 3-month SEO content calendar for a [CLIENT INDUSTRY] business targeting [PRIMARY AUDIENCE]. Their top content goals: [e.g., rank for bottom-funnel comparison keywords / build topical authority in X / capture local traffic] Publish frequency: [X articles per month] Topics to avoid: [any covered, off-limits, or already ranking] For each piece include: working title, primary keyword, content type, and one sentence on why it fits the strategy.
View full prompt →Tip: Ask the AI to "flag which articles would be fastest to write vs. most strategically important" — this helps you sequence the calendar based on client priorities and your team's bandwidth.
A concise, direct-answer paragraph formatted to win featured snippet or People Also Ask placement for a target question — ready to insert into an existing page.
Write a featured snippet answer for the question: "[TARGET QUESTION]" Requirements: - 40-55 words maximum - Start with "[KEYWORD] is/are/refers to..." (definition format) OR numbered steps (if how-to) - Factual and authoritative tone - Include the phrase "[TARGET KEYWORD]" naturally - No hedging language like "it depends" or "there are many factors"
View full prompt →Tip: Check what format Google currently shows for this query (definition paragraph, numbered list, or table) and tell the AI which format to use — matching the current format increases your chances of winning the snippet.
Your exported keyword list organized into named topic clusters, each with a primary keyword and supporting keywords — ready to map to a content strategy.
Group these [NUMBER] keywords into [8-12] topic clusters. For each cluster: name the cluster, identify the primary keyword (highest intent/volume), list supporting keywords. Keywords: [PASTE KEYWORD LIST] Goal: [e-commerce site / service area pages / blog content]
View full prompt →Tip: Paste in batches of 50-100 keywords for clearest groupings. If clusters are too broad, ask it to "split the [cluster name] cluster into 2-3 more specific subtopics."
A short, personalized outreach email referencing something specific about the prospect's site — not a generic template — that's more likely to get a response.
Write a link building outreach email to [SITE NAME]. About them: [1-2 sentences about their site, a recent article they published, or their focus topic] My resource: [TITLE and TOPIC of the page I want a link to] Why it fits their audience: [one specific reason] Keep it under 90 words. No flattery. Make the ask clear. Don't say "I hope this email finds you well."
View full prompt →Tip: The more specific the "About them" section, the better the email. Spend 2 minutes on their site to find one concrete detail before running this prompt — that detail is what gets replies.
A properly formatted press release with a compelling headline, lead paragraph, quote, and boilerplate — ready to distribute or pitch to journalists for link-worthy coverage.
Write a press release for link building purposes. Newsworthiness: [award won / data study published / product/service launched / partnership announced] Company: [NAME], a [DESCRIPTION] based in [LOCATION] Key facts: [3-4 bullet points of the most important details] Quote from: [Name, Title] — [one sentence quote or key message] Contact: [name and email for media inquiries] Format it as a standard press release with: headline, subheadline, dateline, body (3 paragraphs), quote, boilerplate, contact info.
View full prompt →Tip: For data studies specifically, lead with the most surprising statistic in the headline — journalists and bloggers link to data far more readily than product announcements.
Valid JSON-LD schema markup code ready to paste into a page's `<head>` section — for FAQ pages, articles, local businesses, products, how-to guides, and more.
Generate valid JSON-LD schema markup for a [PAGE TYPE: FAQ / Article / LocalBusiness / Product / HowTo] page. Page details: [PASTE RELEVANT CONTENT — questions and answers for FAQ, business name/address/hours for LocalBusiness, etc.] Follow the current schema.org specification. Format it as clean, copyable JSON-LD code.
View full prompt →Tip: After pasting the code into your site, validate it using Google's Rich Results Test (search "Google Rich Results Test") before sending a URL to the client — errors are common with addresses and phone number formats.
A client-ready explanation of technical SEO audit findings — what each issue means, why it matters for their rankings, and what needs to happen to fix it.
Explain these technical SEO issues for a client who is not technical. For each issue write: what it is (one sentence), why it matters for rankings (one sentence), and what action is needed (one sentence). Issues found: [PASTE LIST OF TECHNICAL ISSUES FROM AUDIT] Avoid jargon. Don't use "canonical," "crawl budget," "hreflang," or "render-blocking" without defining them first.
View full prompt →Tip: This output works well as a section inside your audit deliverable. Ask for "two severity levels: Critical (fix in 30 days) and Important (fix in 90 days)" to help clients prioritize without overwhelming them.
