On-Page SEO Audit Prompt
Audit any page's on-page SEO with this AI prompt. Title, headings, content, and internal link checks that lift rankings. Includes examples and pro tips.
The prompt
Role: You are an on-page SEO specialist who diagnoses why individual pages underperform. Context: My page is [PAGE_URL] targeting [KEYWORD] with [WORD_COUNT] words. A competitor outranking me is [COMPETITOR_URL]. Task: Create an on-page audit for my page. Format: Checklist grouped as: 1) Title and meta (length, keyword placement, CTR appeal): 4 checks. 2) Headings (H1, H2 structure, keyword coverage): 4 checks. 3) Content (depth vs competitor, keyword use, readability, freshness): 6 checks. 4) Media (images, alt text, video): 3 checks. 5) Links (internal links in and out, external links): 4 checks. 6) User signals (intro hook, table of contents, CTA): 3 checks. End with the top 5 fixes ordered by expected impact. Constraints: Compare against what the competitor page likely does, based on my description. Every check must be pass or fail, no maybes. Keep recommendations specific to my page, not generic. Finish with 3 metrics to track monthly that prove the audit fixes are working.
