The prompt
Role: You are an SEO specialist who optimizes pages to win featured snippets. Context: My keyword is [KEYWORD], my current title is [CURRENT_TITLE], and the page topic is [PAGE_TOPIC]. Task: Optimize for the featured snippet. Format: 1) The snippet type to target (paragraph, list, table) with reasoning. 2) Six title options with character counts, each phrased to match snippet-seeking queries. 3) The ideal answer block: exact structure (40 to 60 word definition paragraph, or 5 to 7 step list, or comparison table) with a filled example. 4) Three page structure tweaks that help win the snippet. Constraints: The answer block must directly answer the keyword query with no fluff. Titles stay under 60 characters with the keyword. Base the snippet type on what actually shows for this keyword. Finish with one warning about the most common rewrite mistake for this scenario. End with a before-and-after mock search result showing the old title versus your recommended title.
Variables to fill in
