AI prompt to write an SEO blog article
AI prompt to write an SEO blog article from a topic or brief. Copy it in, get search intent, headings, meta text, and a solid draft my friend.
Act as an SEO editor who writes blog posts people actually read.
Goal: Produce a complete SEO blog article draft for [TOPIC OR WORKING TITLE].
Context:
- Primary keyword or phrase: [PRIMARY KEYWORD]
- Search intent (pick one): [INFORMATIONAL, COMMERCIAL, COMPARISON, HOW-TO, OR LOCAL]
- Reader: [WHO THIS IS FOR AND WHAT THEY ALREADY KNOW]
- Angle or unique point: [WHAT MAKES THIS POST WORTH READING]
- Word count target: [WORD COUNT, e.g. 1200 WORDS]
- Brand voice: [PLAIN, TECHNICAL, FRIENDLY, OR PASTE A SHORT SAMPLE]
- Must include: [FACTS, PRODUCTS, LINKS, DISCLAIMERS, OR CASE DETAILS]
- Must avoid: [TOPICS, CLAIMS, OR PHRASES TO SKIP]
Success criteria:
- Title and headings match the search intent behind [PRIMARY KEYWORD]
- Answer the main question in the first 150 words
- Each section earns its place. No filler paragraphs
- Natural keyword use. No stuffing
- Short paragraphs with scannable headings
- Concrete examples where they help
Instructions:
1. State the likely search intent in one sentence. Name the main question the reader wants answered.
2. Propose 3 title options under 60 characters.
3. Build a heading outline (H2 and H3 only). One idea per heading. Note which section answers which sub-question.
4. Write meta title (under 60 chars) and meta description (120-155 chars) for the recommended title.
5. Write the full article draft to [WORD COUNT]. Use the outline headings exactly.
6. Suggest internal links: 3 to 5 anchor phrases with the page topic each should point to. Do not invent URLs.
7. End with a short "Before you publish" checklist.
Output format:
Return sections 1-7 in order. Use the numbered labels exactly as above.
Style rules:
- Write like a human editor, not an AI brochure
- No hype and no fake urgency
- Prefer specific facts over vague advice
- Do not invent statistics, quotes, or case studies unless I provided them in [MUST INCLUDE]
How to use
- Put the exact phrase you want to rank for in [PRIMARY KEYWORD], even if it sounds awkward alone.
- Paste a competitor URL in [MUST INCLUDE] and ask "match depth, not wording" in a follow-up.
- Run a second pass with "tighten the intro" or "add an FAQ section for People Also Ask."
Tips
- Give a word count. Without one, drafts balloon.
- If you have real examples, list them in [MUST INCLUDE]. The model will fill gaps otherwise.
- Read the outline first. Fix heading order before asking for the full draft.

## Does cold email still work for B2B in 2026?
Yes, but only when the list is narrow and the first line proves you did homework. Mass templates get ignored because inboxes filter noise faster than they did five years ago.

Before you publish
