💡 Pro Tips
Best model for this prompt
ChatGPT
ChatGPT (GPT-4o / GPT-5)
Include your target keyword in the first 100 words — this is a strong on-page signal
Use H3 sub-headings inside H2 sections for complex topics to improve readability
Add a 'Key Takeaways' box near the top — people scroll first, then read
Internal link to 3 related pages on your site within the article body
Images with proper alt text improve time-on-page significantly
Keyword stuffing — Google's 2026 algorithm penalises unnatural keyword density
Writing for search engines instead of readers — the two should be the same
Ignoring search intent — a 'how to' article ranks poorly for commercial intent queries
Publishing without updating — refresh articles every 6–12 months with new data
- Can I use this prompt with Claude?Yes. This prompt works excellently with Claude Opus 4 and Sonnet 4. Claude is particularly strong at following complex formatting instructions and producing nuanced long-form content.
- How long should the article be?For most topics, 1,500–2,500 words is the sweet spot in 2026. Match the length of the top-ranking articles for your keyword — more isn't always better.
- Will Google penalise AI-written content?Google's policy targets low-quality, unhelpful content — not AI content specifically. Add your own insights, examples, and expertise before publishing. Human review and editing is still essential.
- How do I customise this for my niche?Replace [topic] with your specific subject, [target keyword] with your primary keyword from your keyword research tool, [word count] with your target length (check competitors), and [audience] with your reader persona.
