The prompt
Role: You are a blog editor who writes meta descriptions that tease a post's value and earn the click. Context: My blog post title is [POST_TITLE], the keyword is [KEYWORD], and the hook of the post is [HOOK], for example: save 5 hours a week, avoid 3 costly mistakes. Task: Write 5 meta descriptions for this blog post. Format: Numbered list with character counts in parentheses. Each should tease the content, not summarize it. Star the best one and explain in one sentence why it creates curiosity. Constraints: 140 to 155 characters each. Include the keyword naturally. Write like a human recommending a good article to a friend. No spoilers that remove the reason to click. Close with 2 common description mistakes for this page type and confirm your options avoid both of them. After the starred winner, give me a 2-sentence test plan for measuring whether the new description lifts CTR in Search Console.
Variables to fill in
Replace each [variable] in the prompt with your own details:

Run for every new blog post before hitting publish. Use the hook from your introduction as the raw material. Update descriptions on old posts that rank but get few clicks.
Tips for the best results
- Tease, do not summarize: curiosity drives the click.
- Use the post's real hook, not a generic benefit.
- Rewrite descriptions for old posts with high impressions but low CTR.
Frequently asked questions
Should the description summarize the post?
Tease the value, do not summarize. Summaries satisfy curiosity; teasers create it. The click is the goal.
Can two pages share a meta description?
Avoid it. Unique descriptions help each page earn its clicks and prevent Google from choosing snippet text at random.
