2025 SEO Reality Check
Articles using properly engineered AI prompts rank 47% higher than purely human-written content (Ahrefs 2025 study).
Step 1: Keyword Research with AI
Find Winning Keywords
Use this ChatGPT-5 prompt:
1. Identify 5 long-tail keywords they rank for

Example output: "For 'best running shoes', long-tail keywords include 'best running shoes for flat feet 2025' and 'are expensive running shoes worth it'"

Don't just copy ChatGPT's first keyword suggestions. Verify search volume with free tools like Google Keyword Planner or Ubersuggest.
Step 2: Structure Your Article for SEO
The 2025 Content Blueprint
Prompt ChatGPT-5 to create this structure:
1. Includes primary keyword in H1 and 2-3 H2s
2. Uses question-based H3 subheadings
3. Incorporates LSI keywords: [list from Step 1]
4. Adds a 'People Also Ask' section"
Pro Tip: Ask for word count distribution (e.g., "Make introduction 80-100 words").
