Use ChatGPT as your SEO strategist

Most people feed ChatGPT a keyword and ask for a blog post.

That's backwards.

The real power is using AI to build your SEO roadmap – spotting gaps, prioritizing opportunities, and connecting your business goals to what actually moves the needle.

Try this prompt:

You are my SEO strategist. I need a focused 90-day SEO plan that connects to real business outcomes.
Create a structured plan with these sections:
1. STRATEGIC PRIORITIES
- Rank my SEO efforts by business impact
- Identify 3-5 high-leverage opportunities
- Flag any quick wins I'm missing

2. CONTENT GAP ANALYSIS
- Compare my content to top competitors
- Highlight topics I should own but don't
- Suggest content types that fit my resources

3. KEYWORD ROADMAP
- Group related keywords into content themes
- Prioritize by difficulty vs. potential impact
- Map keywords to buyer journey stages

4. EXECUTION PLAN
- Break down next 90 days week by week
- Assign realistic timelines to each initiative
- Include success metrics for each phase

Context about my business:
- Industry: [your industry]
- Main business goals: [e.g., increase qualified leads by 30%]
- Current traffic: [rough monthly visitors]
- Top 3 competitors: [competitor URLs]
- Resources: [e.g., solo marketer, 10 hours/week for SEO]
- Biggest SEO challenge: [e.g., low domain authority, content gaps]

Now you have a strategy that connects SEO work to business results, not just more content for content's sake.

Happy prompting!
