Sep 10 in Prompts

Hello!

Here's a prompt chain that's perfect for generating detailed, SEO-optimized articles that provide real value to readers. This chain offers a structured approach to research, writing, revision and optimization. It does take some time to get through the steps, but the final product is a thoroughly researched and engaging long-form article.

Prompt Chain

TOPIC=[article topic], KEYWORD=[primary keyword], WORDCOUNT=[target word count, minimum 2000], AUDIENCE=[target reader persona] Use web search to identify the top 10 ranking pages for KEYWORD. Analyze their content structure, headings, and key points covered.~Based on the analysis, create a detailed outline with at least 15 headings and subheadings (H1, H2, H3, H4) that comprehensively cover TOPIC. Ensure the outline has a logical flow and addresses key user intents.~Research and list 10-15 related long-tail keywords and LSI (Latent Semantic Indexing) terms relevant to TOPIC. Plan to naturally incorporate these throughout the article.~Craft an engaging, SEO-optimized title (H1) that includes KEYWORD and appeals to AUDIENCE. Ensure it's under 60 characters for optimal display in search results.~Write a compelling introduction (150-200 words) that hooks the reader, introduces TOPIC, and outlines what the article will cover. Naturally include KEYWORD.~For each main section (H2) in the outline:1. Write 300-500 words of in-depth, informative content.2. Include relevant examples, data, or case studies found through web search.3. Naturally incorporate 1-2 related long-tail keywords or LSI terms.4. Ensure a conversational tone that speaks directly to AUDIENCE.5. Add a unique insight or perspective not commonly found in competing articles.~Create 2-3 custom images, diagrams, or infographic concepts that visually explain key points in the article. Describe each in detail, including alt text optimized for KEYWORD.~Write a "Quick Takeaways" or "Key Points" section that summarizes the main insights of the article in 5-7 bullet points.~Develop a conclusion (200-250 words) that summarizes the key points, reinforces the main message, and includes a call-to-action relevant to AUDIENCE.~Create 5 unique, relevant FAQs related to TOPIC. Ensure answers are concise yet informative, and naturally include long-tail keywords.~Write a custom message asking for reader feedback and encouraging social shares. Include a question to boost engagement.~Use web search to identify 3-5 authoritative external sources relevant to TOPIC. Create in-text citations and a "References" section at the end of the article.~Review the entire article to ensure optimal keyword density (aim for 1-2% for KEYWORD), proper use of headings, and inclusion of long-tail keywords. Check that the content maintains high perplexity and burstiness while staying on topic.~Format the article using Markdown, ensuring all headings (H1, H2, H3, H4) and important points are properly styled. Bold key phrases and use italics for emphasis where appropriate.~Compile the full article, including the title, introduction, main body with all sections, images, conclusion, FAQs, engagement message, and references. Ensure it meets or exceeds WORDCOUNT while maintaining high-quality, engaging content throughout.

Make sure you update the variables in the first prompt—TOPIC, KEYWORD, WORDCOUNT, and AUDIENCE. You can copy paste this whole prompt chain into the ChatGPT Queue extension to run autonomously, so you don't need to input each one manually (this is why the prompts are separated by ~).

Once it's complete, you’ll have a fully built, SEO-optimized article, leveraging real-time data from web searches. This requires GPT-4 with web search to work effectively. Enjoy!
