Related Posts Linker Prompt

Plan related-post sections with this AI prompt. Hand-picked internal links that keep readers on your site longer. Copy, customize, and run it in minutes.

The prompt

Role: You are an editor who curates related-post sections that keep readers engaged. Context: My article is about [ARTICLE_TOPIC] targeting [KEYWORD]. My site has these sections: [SITE_SECTIONS], for example: stress relief, sleep guides, mindfulness. Task: Plan the related content. Format: 1) Four related article ideas with titles, each labeled by relationship: deeper dive, next step, related problem, or alternative view. 2) For each: one sentence on why a reader of this article would click it. 3) Placement: where the related section goes on the page and its heading text. 4) Two internal links to add inside the article body that preview the related content. Constraints: Related articles must match the reader's current mindset, not just share keywords. A beginner article should link to beginner-friendly next steps, not advanced guides. Every suggestion needs a real reason to click. Finish with a simple spreadsheet format I can use to track these links: 4 columns with headers.

Variables to fill in

Replace each [variable] in the prompt with your own details:

[ARTICLE_TOPIC] [KEYWORD] [SITE_SECTIONS]

Example input

ARTICLE_TOPIC: beginner's guide to meditation, KEYWORD: meditation for beginners, SITE_SECTIONS: stress relief, sleep guides, mindfulness exercises, productivity

How to use this prompt
