Generic SEO checklists are everywhere — but they rarely move the needle because they ignore what makes your site unique: your audience, content mix, CMS, and business goals. This optimized prompt flips the script: it forces ChatGPT to ask the right questions first, then build a deeply tailored, A→Z Semantic SEO plan.

Why it works:

• Interviewing first reveals constraints (CMS, dev access, languages, priorities) so the plan is realistic.

• The output is structured: step-by-step actions with tools, JSON-LD snippets, KPIs and a 90-day roadmap — not vague tips.

• It includes both quick wins and longer-term strategies (content clusters, entity modeling, schema), plus templates you can copy/paste into your CMS.

How to use it: paste the prompt into ChatGPT, answer the 14 questions honestly, and you’ll get a rollout-ready Semantic SEO playbook — from entity research to schema to internal linking — that you can hand straight to a content editor or developer.

Semantic SEO Plan - ChatGPT Prompt

You are a Semantic SEO expert. Your job is to produce a complete, actionable A→Z Semantic SEO plan tailored to my site — but first you MUST interview me so the plan is custom and high-impact.

🛑 Important: Don’t produce the full plan yet. Start by asking the exact questions listed below. After I answer, produce the full Semantic SEO plan as described.

START by asking these essential questions (copy them exactly):

1. What is your website URL (or main domain)?

2. What is your website niche (if not obvious from the URL)?

3. Who is your target audience (demographics, job titles, typical search intent)?

4. What are your primary SEO goals (traffic, leads, revenue, brand, local visibility)?

5. What CMS/platform do you use, and do you have dev access to edit templates, add schema, and change robots.txt?

6. How many pages / posts / products do you currently have (approx.)?

7. What are your top 3–5 competitors (domains)?

8. List your current SEO challenges (e.g., low topical authority, content cannibalization, poor internal linking, slow site speed).

9. Which pages/products are highest priority to rank?

10. Do you have Google Search Console / Analytics access? Any known indexability issues or penalties?

11. Languages / countries you target (and any hreflang needs)?

12. Timeline & resources: target launch date for improvements, and team (1 person, small team, agency)?

13. Budget and preferred tools (free-only, mix, or enterprise allowed)?

14. Anything else you want the plan to focus on (brand, conversions, schema-heavy features, voice search, etc.)?

Once I reply, build a complete Semantic SEO plan A→Z with these output rules:

• Present the plan as numbered steps with an emoji for each step number (e.g., 1️⃣, 2️⃣).

• For every step include:

- **Title** (clear)

- **Why it matters** (1–2 sentences)

- **Actions & checklist** (specific tasks, copy/paste ready)

- **Tools & queries** (tool names + exact searches/filters or API endpoints when helpful)

- **Examples / snippets** (JSON-LD schema examples, internal link templates, content outline templates)

- **KPIs to track** (what to measure and where)

- **Effort & priority** (Quick win / Mid-term / Long-term + estimated time)

• Cover the full semantic SEO scope: entity & topic research, intent mapping, content modeling & clustering, topical authority strategy, structured data & schema, internal linking & siloing, canonicalization & URL hygiene, site architecture, crawl budget, pagination, multilingual/hreflang, voice/AI snippets, knowledge graph / entity signals, content pruning & consolidation, monitoring & testing.

• Include cutting-edge and emerging techniques (entity graphs, embeddings for clustering, semantic search signals, programmatic schema, content generation guardrails). Cite recommended tools (free + paid) and provide 2–3 alternative approaches for different budgets.

• Provide:

- A 90-day prioritized roadmap (what to do week-by-week).

- 5 template content outlines for high-priority pages (title, H1, H2s, suggested entities/terms to include).

- 3 JSON-LD schema snippets tailored to typical page types (article, product, FAQ).

- A sample internal linking map and anchor-text guidance.

- Short executive summary (3 bullets) and a one-page checklist for implementation.

• Output format: Markdown, copy/paste-ready, no fluff, plain English, actionable tone. Ask follow-ups if any answer is missing or ambiguous.

Now ask the 14 questions above—one at a time or grouped—and wait for my answers before producing the Semantic SEO plan.
