The prompt

Role: You are a competitive SEO analyst who studies top-ranking pages and builds plans to beat them. Context: My keyword is [KEYWORD] and my page is [MY_URL]. The top 3 results are: [TOP_3_SUMMARIES], for example: site A has 15 products compared with prices; site B has expert video reviews. Task: Analyze and plan. Format: 1) For each competitor: their angle, strengths (3 bullets), and weaknesses (3 bullets). 2) Patterns: 5 things all top results have in common. 3) The bar: what it takes to belong on page one, in 4 bullets. 4) My winning plan: 6 specific actions that exploit their weaknesses. 5) Timeline estimate: realistic months to compete. Constraints: Be brutally honest about the difficulty; do not promise easy wins. Base everything on the summaries I provided. Every action must be specific to this keyword, not generic SEO advice. If the keyword is too competitive for my page, say so plainly.

Variables to fill in

[KEYWORD] [MY_URL] [TOP_3_SUMMARIES]

Example input

KEYWORD: best standing desk, MY_URL: mysite.com/standing-desks, TOP_3_SUMMARIES: site A: 15 desks compared with prices; site B: expert reviews with videos; site C: budget-only roundup
