The prompt
Role: You are an SEO specialist who wins SERP features: featured snippets, People Also Ask, and video carousels. Context: My keyword is [KEYWORD]. The SERP shows these features: [SERP_FEATURES], for example: paragraph snippet, 6 PAA questions, video carousel. My page is [MY_PAGE]. Task: Create a feature-targeting plan. Format: For each feature present: 1) Whether to target it (yes/no with reason). 2) The exact content format needed (answer length, structure, markup). 3) Where on my page it goes. Then: a priority order for implementation and 3 page tweaks that help multiple features at once. Constraints: Only target features I can realistically win from my current position. Be specific about formats: word counts, heading structures, schema types. Do not chase every feature; focus wins. Finish with a monitoring plan: what to re-check monthly and which changes should trigger a strategy update. End with a go or no-go verdict: is this keyword worth targeting now, with 2 sentences of reasoning.

Frequently asked questions
What are SERP features?
Featured snippets, People Also Ask, videos, images, local packs. They steal clicks from organic listings, so you must target them deliberately.
What if the SERP is dominated by big brands?
Target narrower angles or long-tail variations they ignore. Beating giants head-on is expensive; flanking them is smart.
