GPT / Claude / Gemini6 variables
Prompt
Create a human-reviewed SEO content brief for {TOPIC}.
Audience and intended task: {AUDIENCE_AND_TASK}
Site expertise and product context: {SITE_CONTEXT}
Existing pages that may overlap: {EXISTING_URLS}
Primary sources and evidence: {SOURCES}
Original experience, data, or examples available: {ORIGINAL_INPUTS}
Deliver:
- The reader’s problem and the question the page will answer.
- Search intent and the evidence that supports this interpretation.
- A proposed title, outline, and concise answer to the core question.
- Claims requiring first-party sources, testing, dates, or caveats.
- A concrete original contribution that cannot be produced by merely paraphrasing competing pages.
- Internal links to relevant existing pages, with a reason for each.
- A review checklist for factual accuracy, accessibility, product claims, and helpfulness.
- A decision: draft, research more, update an existing URL, merge, or do not publish.
Rules:
- Never invent keyword metrics, expert credentials, product tests, quotations, sources, or user testimonials.
- Do not create pages solely for near-identical keyword variations.
- Treat model output as a draft and mark every unresolved claim.
- Do not claim that structured data, keyword repetition, or a special AI file guarantees inclusion in AI search results.
- Optimize for the reader's task first.

What this prompt helps you do
Produces an intent-led brief with a distinct reader benefit, primary-source requirements, original contribution, and explicit editorial checks. It is designed to prevent keyword stuffing and scaled low-value content.
When to use it
Use before drafting tutorials, software explainers, AI tool guides, product comparisons, and pages that depend on changing product features or prices.
Decision context
AI can help organize research and draft structure. It cannot supply first-hand experience or verify claims by itself. Google's guidance emphasizes helpful content and established SEO practices.
How it works
The prompt defines the user's task, reviews existing pages, proposes evidence requirements, and asks for original examples or analysis before suggesting an outline. It adds fact-check and editorial approval gates.
Best practices
Provide first-party documentation, tested examples, the site's existing content, and the reviewer responsible for approval. Mark untested claims and disclose AI use when it is relevant to readers.
Common mistakes
Do not generate hundreds of city or keyword variants, fabricate expert experience, claim hands-on tests that did not happen, or publish unsupported comparisons.
What you should expect back
A concise brief, source ledger, outline, originality plan, internal-link suggestions, reviewer checklist, and explicit go/no-go conditions.
Limitations
The prompt cannot guarantee rankings or validate evidence it cannot access. Human fact-checking and editorial judgment remain required.
Model notes
Supply the topic, audience, existing URLs, authoritative source links, and any original tests or examples available.
Real-world applications
Editorial teams, SaaS blogs, developer documentation, AI-tool directories, and small businesses producing search-focused resources.
How to tell if it worked
The article answers a real task, contains verified claims and a distinct contribution, and passes a human review before publication.
Where to go next
Combine with the research brief that requires source checks and the content quality audit.
