AI Prompts for SEO Strategy and Planning
Plan website migrations, design topical maps, and prioritize technical roadmaps.
Complete Topical Map Architecture
Design a hub-and-spoke model.
"Build a Topical Map for a new website in the [Niche] space. Define 4 core "Pillar" topics. Under each pillar, list 10 specific "Cluster" article topics covering long-tail intent. Detail how the internal linking structure will connect these clusters back to the pillar."
Website Migration SEO Checklist
Prevent traffic drops during a redesign.
"We are redesigning our website and moving from [Old Platform] to [New Platform]. Provide a comprehensive, chronological SEO Website Migration Checklist. Cover pre-launch prep (URL mapping, 301 redirects), launch day checks (robots.txt, staging blocks), and post-launch monitoring."
Cannibalization Resolution Plan
Fix pages competing for the same term.
"We have 3 articles all ranking poorly on page 3 for the keyword "[Keyword]". Outline a strategy to resolve this keyword cannibalization. Explain how to decide which page is the "winner" and what specific 301 redirects and content consolidation steps the team needs to take."
Technical Audit Prioritization
Determine what fixes move the needle.
"I have a massive Semrush/Ahrefs audit showing 5,000 "issues". Explain how to prioritize these into a technical roadmap. Differentiate between urgent blockers (e.g., noindex tags, 404 chains) and low ROI warnings (e.g., low text-to-HTML ratio)."
Programmatic SEO Ideation
Scale content with data.
"Suggest a Programmatic SEO framework for a [Type of Business, e.g., real estate, travel] site. Define the primary URL variables/modifiers (e.g., [City], [Feature]), outline the standard page template structure, and suggest what unique local data points can be pulled via API so it doesn't look like thin/duplicate content."
Backlink Gap Analysis Process
Find where you are getting beat.
"Outline the process for conducting a Backlink Gap Analysis against 3 competitors. Explain how to use a tool to find referring domains that link to *all three* competitors but not to our site, and draft the email outreach strategy to target those specific high-probability domains."
Local SEO Citation Guide
Dominate the local map pack.
"Design a Local SEO strategy for a [Local Business Type] with 3 physical locations. Provide the exact rules for NAP (Name, Address, Phone) consistency, list the top 5 essential local citations to claim, and draft an automated email template for requesting Google Business Profile reviews from satisfied customers."
International / Multilingual SEO Setup
Expand into new languages.
"Explain the technical requirements for expanding an English site into Spanish and French. Detail the correct implementation of 'hreflang' tags, describe URL structure options (subdomains vs subdirectories vs ccTLDs) and recommend the best approach for a mid-sized B2B SaaS company."
Content Pruning Strategy
Delete bad pages to boost the good ones.
"Explain the concept of "Content Pruning" (removing underperforming pages from Google's index). Provide the exact criteria a content manager should use to decide if a 3-year-old post with zero traffic should be completely deleted returning a 404, redirected via 301, or rewritten."
Core Web Vitals Explanation
Explain speed to developers.
"Explain Google's Core Web Vitals (LCP, INP, CLS) to a backend developer who doesn't understand SEO. Define exactly what each metric measures from a technical standpoint, what the 'good' threshold is, and provide 2 common frontend fixes for improving Cumulative Layout Shift (CLS)."
E-E-A-T Optimization Playbook
Improve trustworthiness.
"Our blog writes about YMYL (Your Money or Your Life) topics in the [Finance/Health] sector. Provide an E-E-A-T (Experience, Expertise, Authoritativeness, Trustworthiness) optimization checklist. Include on-page signals (author bios, citations) and off-page signals (digital PR, expert reviews) we must implement."
Executive SEO Reporting
Report ROI to the C-Suite.
"Design a monthly SEO reporting dashboard for the C-Suite. They do not care about 'crawl budgets' or 'keyword rankings'. List the 4 business-level metrics (e.g., Organic Pipeline Revenue, Non-Branded Organic Traffic) the report must feature, and draft a template for the 1-paragraph executive summary to accompany the data."
