The prompt
You are an experienced SEO strategist focused on long-tail and question keywords.
Context:
- Topic or main keyword: [your main topic]
- Product or offer: [your product]
- Target audience: [your audience]
- Search market and language: [e.g. United States, English]
Task:
For this topic, find long-tail keywords, real search questions and topic gaps that are worth new content. Base your ideas on the likely search intent (informational, commercial, transactional) and on the language my audience actually uses.
Return the result in four blocks:
1. Long-tail keywords: 15 specific multi-word keywords (3 words or more), each with an assumed intent label and a short note on why it might have low competition.
2. Question keywords: 10 concrete questions the way people type them into Google or ChatGPT, grouped by Who, What, How, Why, When.
3. Topic gaps: 5 sub-topics that belong to the main topic but are often overlooked, each with a title and angle idea.
4. Content plan: Map the strongest keywords to 3 concrete article ideas, each with an H1 suggestion and the target keyword.
At the end, honestly flag which of these keywords are assumptions that should be checked against real search volume in a dedicated tool. Answer in English.Replace the bracketed placeholders with your own details.
Frequently asked
Does ChatGPT provide real search volume for these keywords?
No. ChatGPT estimates topics and intent from language patterns, but it does not know current search volumes or competition scores. Treat the ideas as a starting list and validate the promising keywords afterwards in a keyword tool such as Google Search Console, Keyword Planner or Ahrefs.
How do I get more out of this prompt?
The more specific your context, the better the keywords. Enter a real product, a clearly defined audience and the market. Then follow up, for example by asking ChatGPT to expand only the transactional keywords or to turn the questions into a full FAQ outline.
