SEO Long-Form Article Prompt (Rank on Google)
SEO Long-Form Article Prompt 📈
Give the AI one target keyword — get back a complete, rank-ready 1,500+ word article with a search-intent-matched outline, a featured-snippet-optimized short answer, FAQ section with schema-ready Q&A, meta title and description, and internal link suggestions. This is the prompt format built to satisfy both readers and Google’s ranking signals.
The prompt
Write a comprehensive, SEO-optimized long-form article targeting the keyword: [TARGET KEYWORD, e.g. "high yield savings account rates"].
First, identify the search intent behind this keyword (informational / commercial / transactional / navigational) and explain in one sentence what the searcher wants.
Then produce the article with these requirements:
- Length: 1,500+ words.
- Include the primary keyword in the first 100 words, in one H2, and naturally 5–8 times total. Include 3–4 related long-tail variations.
- Structure: H1 title, then an H2 outline with 5–7 sections, each with 1–2 H3 subsections where it adds clarity.
- Open with a 2–3 sentence intro that states a clear thesis and what the reader will learn.
- Immediately after the intro, include a "Short answer" block of 40–60 words optimized for the featured snippet — directly answer the keyword question, in a numbered list or concise paragraph.
- Each body section should answer a specific sub-question, include concrete examples, and where relevant, a comparison or step-by-step list.
- End with an FAQ section of 4–6 questions (use the "People Also Ask" style), each with a 40–80 word answer, formatted so it can be wrapped in FAQPage JSON-LD schema.
After the article, provide:
- A meta title (under 60 characters, includes keyword, click-worthy)
- A meta description (150–160 characters, includes keyword and a benefit)
- 5–8 internal link suggestions: anchor text + the type of page it should point to (e.g. "best savings accounts" → comparison page)
- 3–5 external authority sources worth citing or linking to
Tone: [e.g. helpful, authoritative, beginner-friendly]. Audience: [e.g. personal finance beginners]. No fluff, no repetition, no lorem ipsum.
