Full SEO strategy
Start one new chat and paste prompt 1, then your brief: "Act as a professional SEO strategist. Based on my business model, target audience, competition level, and goals, design a complete SEO strategy covering keyword focus, content structure, topical authority, internal linking, and growth priorities. Business details: [paste]."
Deep keyword research
Prompt 2: "Perform comprehensive keyword research for the niche [insert niche]. Identify primary, secondary, and long tail keywords. Group them into logical clusters based on search intent and topical relevance." Reel Playbooks addition: ChatGPT cannot see real search volumes on its own, so check the most important keywords in Google Keyword Planner or your Search Console queries before you commit to them.
Search intent
Prompt 3, once per priority keyword: "For the keyword [insert keyword], analyze search intent and define the ideal content format, depth, structure, and user expectation required to rank competitively." Reel Playbooks addition: Google the keyword yourself and compare; if the top results are product pages and the AI suggests a blog post, trust the search results.
Competitor reverse engineering
Prompt 4: "Analyze the top ranking pages for the keyword [insert keyword]. Identify common structural patterns, content depth, semantic coverage, and content gaps I can improve upon." Reel Playbooks addition: unless web search is on, paste the URLs or the text of the top three to five results into the chat; otherwise the model is describing what it imagines ranks.
SEO content blueprint
Prompt 5: "Create a comprehensive SEO content blueprint for the keyword [insert keyword]. Include title structure, meta description, heading hierarchy, semantic keyword integration, FAQs, and internal linking suggestions." Use the blueprint as the outline for the page you write or update.
On-page optimization
Prompt 6, with your draft or live page text pasted in: "Review the following page content and optimize it for on page SEO. Improve title tags, meta descriptions, heading clarity, keyword placement, readability, and user engagement without over optimization. Content: [paste]."
SEO audit and refinement
Prompt 7, in the same chat so it can see everything above: "Act as a senior SEO auditor. Evaluate my complete SEO plan including keywords, content structure, linking strategy, and optimization approach. Identify weaknesses and refine it into a sustainable ranking strategy." Reel Playbooks addition: turn the result into a short to-do list with owners and dates, then publish and measure.
Heads upCommon mistakes & tips
Run the prompts in one conversation. Each step builds on the last, and the audit in prompt 7 only works if the earlier answers are in the chat.
Reel Playbooks addition: the post's "SEO like a $20,000/month agency for free" and "10x your business" claims are unverified marketing lines; treat the prompts as a solid first draft, not agency-level work.
Reel Playbooks addition: never publish AI copy unedited; add your own examples, prices, photos and local details so the page is genuinely useful.
Reel Playbooks addition: the original slide for prompt 2 reads "search intent ad topical relevance"; we corrected the typo to "and".
The last slide promotes a paid prompt handbook via the creator's bio link; it is optional and not needed for this playbook.
