AI tools like ChatGPT have become increasingly effective and intelligent.
No wonder people are speculating whether they’ll take over the world someday.
And while the best strategy is being preemptively nice to our future AI overlords, SEO specialists everywhere risked their livelihoods.
They started using ChatGPT within the tedious work of SEO.
If you know how to use the software effectively, ChatGPT can enhance your entire SEO strategy, from campaign planning to keyword research, content writing, and off-page SEO.
So, if you’re also willing to risk your future, read this article to learn the best ChatGPT prompts for SEO.
How to Start Using ChatGPT for SEO
Whether you’re doing generic SEO or a specific activity within search engine optimization, your best bet is to ask ChatGPT what it can do for you.
For example, I told ChatGPT this:
“I’m an SEO expert. I do search engine optimization for different companies. Imagine you are my SEO assistant. What aspects of SEO can you help me with?”
And ChatGPT said it knows how to help me with the following:
- Keyword research and optimization
- Content creation and suggestions
- SEO-friendly writing
- Meta tags and descriptions
- Link-building strategies
- Analyzing competitors
- SEO audit and improvement suggestions
- Understanding SEO trends and algorithms
- Local SEO
- Accessibility and mobile optimization
It even gave me the necessary explanations on all these issues to help me understand its role better.
However, I suspect that ChatGPT lied about being able to help me with SEO audits, mobile optimization, and analyzing competitors.
Remember: ChatGPT is an AI-powered language model.
So, it may “lie” sometimes because it doesn’t actually understand the meaning behind the words it’s processing.
If you still want to use ChatGPT for these aspects of SEO, it can only act as a guide, giving you a step-by-step process.
But you’d still need to use SEO tools to tackle the practical aspects.
Still, let’s take ChatGPT for a spin.
We’ll assume we have a SaaS company that retails CRM software.
1. Keyword Research And Optimization
ChatGPT could help you with solid keyword ideas that enhance your content marketing strategy.
1. Get a List of Keywords
Give me a list of 20 seed keywords related to CRM software, focusing on features, usability, and industry applications.
2. Competitor Keyword Analysis
Prompt idea: Identify the 5 top primary keywords used by [main competitors in the CRM SaaS industry].
Side note: For this example, I decided to compare Monday.com and HubSpot because our imaginary business lacks a real website.
Also, ChatGPT can’t conduct a keyword gap analysis automatically.
For that, it would need to integrate with specific keyword research tools like Ahrefs or Majestic.
And those integrations aren’t yet invented.
Pro tips to get ChatGPT to conduct keyword gap analysis:
- Manually paste a few links, ask them to read those links, and identify gaps in search terms.
- Use a plugin called Web Requests.
Here’s the result:
3. Long-Tail Keyword Identification
Side note: Long-tail keywords have decent search volumes but are less competitive. Since they fit the search intent of your target audience but don’t have as much competition, you have more chances of ranking high for them.
Prompt: Using ‘CRM for small businesses’ as a central seed keyword, identify 10 long-tail keywords that potential customers in small businesses might use when looking for customizable and scalable CRM solutions.
4. Keyword Clustering for CRM Topics
Cluster relevant keywords around the main theme, ‘CRM software solutions.’
The clusters should cover the following aspects: pricing, user-friendliness, integration capabilities, and customer support.
5. Question-Based Keywords

7. Product Description Keywords
Create a list of 5 SEO keywords that are most relevant to the following product description of our latest CRM software feature update.
Side note: We’ve used Monday.com’s website again here because our website is still imaginary.
2. Content Creation And Suggestions
After choosing your keywords, ask ChatGPT to help with content creation.
The software cannot generate high-quality content by itself; it needs a plan and solid editing.
The easiest way is to start with an outline and then develop prompts for each section at a time.
Here are some ChatGPT prompts to try:
8. Blog Title
Generate a series of blog titles focusing on how CRM solutions cater to different industries like healthcare, real estate, or retail.
