ChatGPT SEO Content Prompt for Dropshipping

Act as a careful SEO content strategist for a dropshipping or ecommerce website.

Your job is to help me find useful content opportunities and organize them into a focused content plan.

Do not create pages simply to increase content volume.

Base the plan on real search evidence, customer questions, existing site content, and product or market information when those inputs are available.

Rules:
- Do not invent keyword volume, traffic potential, ranking difficulty, click-through rate, search trends, rankings, backlinks, domain authority, or future traffic.
- Do not invent customer questions or search demand and present them as real evidence.
- Do not invent statistics, expert credentials, product facts, reviews, studies, or quotes.
- Do not assume that two different keyword phrasings need two different pages.
- Do not recommend a page unless you can explain the distinct reader need or search intent it would serve.
- If several topics substantially overlap, recommend one stronger page instead of several thin pages.
- If the search intent is unclear, mark it [needs SERP review].
- If keyword demand is unknown, mark it [demand not provided].
- If an important factual claim requires a source, mark it [needs source].
- If you cannot inspect a URL, page, screenshot, Search Console export, or external source, say so clearly. Ask me to paste the relevant information instead.
- If you use current web results, distinguish what you observed from your interpretation.
- Treat current search results, rankings, competitor pages, and query trends as time-sensitive.
- Do not write complete articles unless I explicitly ask later. This task is content planning and outlining.

Website or store:
[site name and short description]

Product, niche, or category:
[product, niche, store category, or broader topic]

Target market:
[country or region]

Target reader:
[who the content is meant to help]

Business goal:
[education, product discovery, category support, comparison help, pre-purchase questions, customer support, organic traffic, or another goal]

Real search evidence:
[paste Search Console queries, keyword-tool exports, site-search terms, autocomplete observations, or leave blank]

Customer questions:
[paste real questions from reviews, support conversations, comments, forums, communities, marketplace reviews, or leave blank]

Existing relevant pages:
[paste existing article, guide, category, product, glossary, tool, or hub URLs]

Product or subject evidence:
[paste verified product facts, research notes, supplier information, testing notes, source material, or leave blank]

Competitor or search-result evidence:
[paste competitor URLs, ranking pages, SERP observations, or leave blank]

Content constraints:
[topics to avoid, pages not to compete with, legal or claims restrictions, editorial requirements, or leave blank]

Please create an SEO content plan with these sections:

1. Evidence audit
Create four groups:

Provided search evidence
- Queries or keyword data I actually supplied.
- Search-result observations I actually supplied.

Provided customer evidence
- Real customer questions.
- Review or support themes.
- Recurring problems or information needs.

Existing site evidence
- Relevant pages already on my site.
- Existing pages that may already satisfy part of the intent.

Missing evidence
- Important information I have not provided.
- Areas that need keyword research.
- Areas that need a current search-result review.
- Factual topics that need reliable sources.

Do not turn missing evidence into estimates.

2. Search-intent groups
Group the available queries and questions by underlying reader need.

Possible intent types may include:
- Learn or understand
- Compare options
- Choose a product or supplier
- Solve a problem
- Use or troubleshoot a product
- Evaluate costs or risks
- Find examples or inspiration
- Complete a specific task

Do not force every topic into one of these categories if another label is more accurate.

For each intent group show:
- Core reader question
- Queries or evidence connected to it
- Likely stage of the reader journey
- Existing page that may already serve it
- Whether a new page appears justified
- Evidence status

Use:
[provided]
[inference]
[needs SERP review]
[demand not provided]

3. Topic overlap and consolidation
Before suggesting new pages:
- Identify query variations that probably belong on the same page.
- Identify proposed topics that substantially overlap with existing content.
- Identify topics that may compete with each other for the same reader need.
- Identify thin topics that do not appear to deserve a standalone page.
- Recommend pages or topics that should be combined.

Do not recommend separate pages only because the wording of the keyword is different.

4. Content opportunities
Recommend only the strongest content opportunities supported by the available evidence.

Do not use a fixed article count.

For each opportunity provide:
- Working title
- Core reader question
- Search intent
- Evidence supporting the opportunity
- Existing page overlap
- Why a standalone page may be useful
- Important facts or sources needed
- Related product, category, tool, or guide when relevant
- Confidence: high, medium, or low

Confidence must describe the strength of the available evidence, not the chance of ranking.

If the evidence does not support many pages, recommend fewer pages.

5. Priority plan
Rank the recommended opportunities.

For each one explain:
- Why it should come before or after the others
- What reader need it addresses
- Whether I already have evidence to create it well
- Which existing pages can support it
- What research must happen before writing

Do not use invented search volume or ranking difficulty to justify the order.

6. Search-result research plan
For any important opportunity marked [needs SERP review], tell me what to inspect manually.

Include when relevant:
- What types of pages currently appear
- Whether the results seem informational, commercial, transactional, mixed, local, or another intent
- Recurring subtopics
- Questions competitors answer
- Questions they leave unanswered
- Freshness of ranking pages
- Forums, videos, tools, product pages, or other result types
- Whether one page appears able to satisfy several related queries

Do not claim to know the current results unless I provided them or you actually inspected them.

7. Detailed outlines
Create detailed outlines for up to 3 of the strongest supported opportunities.

For each outline include:

Working H1

Reader goal
- What the reader should understand or be able to decide after reading.

Opening
- What the introduction needs to establish.
- What should not be overexplained.

H2 structure
- Recommended H2 sections in a logical order.

Evidence requirements
For each major section list:
- Facts to verify
- Examples to collect
- Screenshots or visuals that could help
- First-hand experience that would strengthen the section
- External sources that may be needed

Questions to answer
- Real customer or search questions connected to the topic.

Internal links
- Existing pages that would genuinely help the reader.
- Explain why each link belongs.

Conversion or next step
- What next action makes sense for the reader.
- Do not force a sales CTA when the reader is still researching.

8. FAQ opportunities
Use only questions supported by:
- Real query evidence
- Real customer questions
- Search-result evidence
- Clear gaps in the proposed article

For each FAQ:
- Question
- Why it belongs
- Evidence source
- Whether the answer requires additional verification

Do not invent a long FAQ section merely to add more keywords.

9. Internal linking plan
Using only URLs or pages I provide or pages you can actually inspect, suggest useful internal links.

For each recommendation show:
- Source page
- Destination page
- Why the link helps the reader
- Natural anchor-text direction

Do not invent URLs.

Do not recommend stuffing exact-match anchor text repeatedly.

10. Content differentiation
For each priority page, explain what could make it more useful than a generic AI-generated article.

Consider:
- First-hand testing
- Original examples
- Screenshots
- Comparisons
- Calculators or tools
- Tables
- Clear decision criteria
- Expert review where genuinely available
- Real customer questions
- Updated product or supplier information
- Transparent limitations
- Better organization

Do not recommend pretending to have experience or expertise that the author does not have.

11. Fact and claim checklist
Identify statements the future article may need to verify.

Group them as:

Needs primary or authoritative source
Examples may include:
- Laws
- Platform policies
- Technical specifications
- Official prices
- Current product features

Needs direct product or supplier verification
Examples may include:
- Shipping
- Materials
- Product compatibility
- Package contents
- Supplier policies

Needs evidence before making the claim
Examples may include:
- Performance claims
- Safety claims
- Superlatives
- Statistics
- Market claims

Do not provide unsupported facts merely to complete the outline.

12. Thin-content and duplication review
Review the full proposed plan and identify:
- Pages that are too similar
- Topics that should be sections instead of standalone articles
- Topics that need more evidence before publication
- Topics with no clear reader need
- Existing pages that should probably be improved instead of creating a new URL

Be willing to recommend no new page when improving an existing page is the better option.

13. Manual research checklist
Give me a prioritized checklist of what I should verify before writing.

Include when relevant:
- Real search queries
- Current search results
- Existing site coverage
- Customer questions
- Competitor coverage
- Product facts
- Supplier information
- Prices
- Statistics
- Platform rules
- Legal or regulated claims
- Internal links
- Original examples or visuals

Put the checks most likely to change the content plan first.

14. Final content plan
Finish with a concise table containing only the pages you still recommend after the overlap and evidence review.

Columns:
- Priority
- Working page
- Core intent
- Evidence available
- Research still needed
- Existing page overlap
- Recommended action

Recommended action must be one of:
- create
- improve existing page
- combine with another topic
- research more
- skip

Do not recommend "create" when there is no clear reader need or the proposed page substantially duplicates an existing one.
