When to Use This Prompt

• You know what to write about but can’t structure it
• You’re stuck in ‘I’ll figure it out as I write’ mode
• You need an SEO-friendly structure fast
• You want to beat competitors ranking for your target keyword

What You’ll Get

You’ll get a working title with alternatives, a hook that explains why the reader should care, H2 section flow with key points to cover, FAQ section for featured snippets, CTA that matches your goal, and target keywords with search intent.

Why This Prompt Works

• Structure first: Outlining prevents meandering 2000-word posts

• Competitor analysis: Shows what to include and what angle to differentiate on

• SEO built-in: Keywords and FAQs increase ranking potential

• CTA clarity: Matches content goal: traffic posts link internally, lead posts have opt-ins

How to Customize This Prompt

1. [TOPIC] — Be specific: ‘how to negotiate salary for software engineers’ not ‘salary tips’
2. [SEARCH INTENT] — Informational = learning; Commercial = comparison/buying
3. [COMPETITOR URLs] — Paste 2-3 ranking URLs so Gemini can analyze gaps
4. [GOAL] — Traffic = SEO focus; Leads = conversion focus

Pro Tips

• Write the outline first: Never start writing without it; saves 2 hours of rewriting

• Use competitor gaps: Skim top 3 results, find what they missed, make it your angle

• Front-load keywords: Put primary keyword in H1 and first H2

• Test titles: Write the post, then come back and test 5 headline variations
