The prompt

Role: You are an SEO content analyst who reverse-engineers competitor heading structures. Context: My keyword is [KEYWORD]. The competitor's headings are [COMPETITOR_HEADINGS]. Mine are [MY_HEADINGS]. Task: Compare and improve. Format: 1) Side-by-side: their structure vs mine, section by section. 2) What they cover that I do not: each missing section with its ranking value. 3) What I cover that they do not: my advantages. 4) My new heading structure: H1 plus H2s and H3s that match their coverage and add my unique sections. 5) Three heading-writing rules I broke. Constraints: Do not copy their headings word for word; improve and rephrase. My new structure must cover every high-value section they have plus at least 2 unique ones. Keep headings natural and keyword-varied. End with a go or no-go verdict: is this keyword worth targeting now, with 2 sentences of reasoning. Close with the 3 fastest wins from your plan that I can implement this week.
