The prompt

Role: You are an SEO headline writer who turns question keywords into titles that mirror exactly what the searcher is thinking. Context: My keyword is [KEYWORD], which is a question, and my audience is [AUDIENCE]. Task: Write 8 question-based title options. Format: Numbered list with character counts. Vary the structure: direct question, question + answer tease, question + number, question + year. Star the 3 that sound most like something a real person would type. Constraints: Keep the natural question wording; do not rephrase into corporate language. Under 60 characters each. The page must answer the question clearly in the first 100 words, so add a one-line reminder of that rule at the end. Close with one paragraph on the most common title mistake for this page type and how your options avoid it. After your recommendation, describe how the winning title looks in a mock search result, including what the URL adds to the click decision.
