Write an Image Alt Text Optimization Guide
ChatGPT Prompt
Write an alt text guide for a {site_type} site. Lead with the accessibility purpose — alt text describes an image to someone who cannot see it — and show how that also serves image search, rather than treating SEO as the goal. Give rules for each image role: informative, functional (a link or button), decorative (empty alt, and why), complex (charts needing a longer description elsewhere), and text-in-image. Include 10 before/after examples drawn from {niche}, covering product shots, screenshots, team photos, infographics and icons. State the length guidance, when keywords are appropriate and when they are stuffing, and give a checklist an editor can apply without reading the whole guide.
💡 Pro Tip: Replace placeholders in [BRACKETS] with your specific information for best results.

Create Accessibility Guidelines
Write practical accessibility guidelines for {platform} targeting WCAG 2.2 AA. Organise by the work people actually do rather than by success criterion number: writing content, choosing colour, building forms, handling focus and keyboard navigation, images and media, motion and animation, and dynamic updates. For each area give the requirement, a correct and an incorrect code example, how to test it manually in under a minute, and which automated tool catches it (noting that automation finds roughly a third of issues). Include a definition of done for design, code review and QA. Add a short section on why each requirement exists in terms of a real user need, since teams comply better with rules they understand.
Develop a Local SEO Optimization Plan
Build a local SEO plan for a {business_type} serving {city} and {radius}. Cover: Google Business Profile completeness (categories, services, attributes, products, hours including holiday hours, and a posting cadence), review generation with a request script and a response template for 5-star and 1-star reviews, NAP consistency across the citation sources that matter for this industry, localised landing pages for each service area that are genuinely different rather than city-swapped duplicates, and LocalBusiness schema. Add the map-pack ranking factors you can actually influence, and a monthly tracking table: map-pack position by keyword, direction requests, calls, and review velocity.
Create a Backlink Outreach Template
Write backlink outreach templates for promoting {asset} in {niche}. Cover five scenarios: broken-link replacement, unlinked brand mention, a genuine resource-page fit, original data worth citing, and an expert contribution. Each email under 100 words, subject line under 7 words, proving in the first sentence that you read their specific page. State plainly what is in it for them. No flattery openers, no 'I stumbled upon your amazing blog', no mention of your own domain authority. For each template give the qualifying criteria for a prospect, one follow-up sent 5 days later, and the signals that mean you should stop rather than chase.
Develop a Technical SEO Improvement Plan
Write a technical SEO improvement plan for a {framework} site with {page_count} pages where {indexed_count} are indexed. Diagnose the gap in this order before proposing fixes: pages served but absent from the sitemap, pages in the sitemap but returning non-200, duplicate URLs competing without canonicals, orphan pages with no internal links, and thin pages that should be consolidated or noindexed rather than submitted. Then cover render-blocking resources, LCP by template, and structured-data coverage. For each finding give the file or system that owns it, the fix, the expected effect on impressions, and how to verify in Search Console. Rank strictly by impact and mark anything that would be harmful to ship before a content fix lands.
Create a Content Gap Analysis Report
Produce a content gap analysis for {your_site} against {competitor_1}, {competitor_2} and {competitor_3} in {niche}. Identify four gap types separately, because each needs a different response: keywords competitors rank for and you have no page at all, keywords where you have a page ranking 11–30 that is losing on depth or intent match, keywords where your page targets the wrong intent entirely, and clusters everyone is missing. For each opportunity give the query, competitor position, your position, the page that should own it, whether to create or upgrade, and an effort estimate. Sort by (traffic potential × conversion intent) ÷ effort, and explicitly list what to stop writing.
Create an SEO Audit Checklist
Build an SEO audit checklist for a {site_type} site of roughly {page_count} pages. Organise it into five passes: crawlability (robots.txt, sitemap coverage versus pages actually served, orphan pages, redirect chains), indexability (canonicals, noindex, duplicate URL variants, parameter handling), on-page (title and description uniqueness, heading hierarchy, thin-content thresholds, internal link depth), structured data (schema types present, validation errors, eligibility for rich results), and performance (Core Web Vitals by template, not sitewide averages). For each item give the exact check, the tool or command that produces the answer, the threshold that counts as a failure, and the severity. Order the output by revenue impact, not by audit section.
