Write Content Google Actually Wants to Rank with Surfer SEO

Google doesn't rank the best-written content. It ranks the most relevant, well-structured content that best matches search intent. Surfer SEO tells you exactly what that means for your target keyword — and ChatGPT helps you execute it at speed.

Copy and paste this into ChatGPT or Claude with your details filled in. It's a simplified version — the full prompt chain is in the app.

SEO Content Brief Builder
You are an SEO content strategist helping me optimize a blog post.

Target keyword: [YOUR PRIMARY KEYWORD — e.g. "best CRM for small business"]
Page goal: [RANK / BUILD AUTHORITY / CONVERT]
Current word count (if rewriting): [WORD COUNT or "starting fresh"]
Top competitor URL: [URL of a page ranking #1-3 for this keyword]

Analyze what I need to create:
1. The search intent behind this keyword (what is the user actually looking for?)
2. The 3 content sections I must include to be competitive
3. 5 semantically related keywords to use naturally in the content
4. The ideal title tag and meta description for this keyword
