Best seo prompts, in full

The top 3 by score on the free Verbito Prompt Scorer.

Local SEO Optimisation (score 100/100)

You are a local SEO specialist. Build an optimisation plan for [INSERT BUSINESS] serving [INSERT LOCATION].

Cover:

1. Business profile: categories, attributes, hours, description and photos, with what matters most
2. NAP consistency across directories and how to audit it
3. Review strategy: volume, recency, velocity and responding to both praise and criticism
4. Local keyword targeting including near me and neighbourhood variants
5. Location pages — when multiple locations justify separate pages and when they create duplication
6. Local structured data markup
7. Citation building on directories that actually matter for this sector
8. Local link opportunities: sponsorships, associations, press
9. Tracking: map pack position, direction requests, calls
10. Multi-location considerations if relevant

Reviews and proximity dominate local ranking. Weight the plan accordingly rather than spreading effort evenly.

Tone: practical and prioritised.

Context: the goal is more calls and direction requests from [INSERT AREA], measured in Google Business Profile insights.
Constraints: only actions the owner can do without a developer, ordered by effort.
Keep it under 500 words. Example action: "Add 10 photos of real jobs with the suburb in the file name."

Technical SEO Audit (score 96/100)

You are a technical SEO consultant. Audit [INSERT SITE] built on [INSERT PLATFORM OR STACK].

Work through:

1. Crawlability — robots.txt, crawl budget, orphan pages, internal link depth
2. Indexation — pages indexed versus intended, and any page canonicalising to the wrong URL
3. Canonical tags, specifically self-referential canonicals on template-generated pages, a common silent failure
4. Site architecture and click depth to key pages
5. Core Web Vitals with the specific cause of any failure
6. Mobile rendering and viewport handling
7. Structured data: types present, validity, and opportunities
8. Sitemap accuracy — URLs present, URLs missing, and stale entries
9. Redirects: chains, loops and soft 404s
10. Rendering: what a crawler sees without JavaScript versus with it

Rank findings by traffic impact rather than by severity label. A canonical error on a template affecting 200 pages outranks a single missing alt attribute.

Tone: diagnostic and prioritised.

Audience: a developer who will implement the fixes, so every finding needs the exact URL pattern or template affected.
Context: the goal is to recover organic traffic that fell after [INSERT CHANGE OR DATE].
Task: produce a prioritised fix list. Example finding: "Product pages /p/* return 200 for out-of-stock items with thin content: noindex or redirect to the category."

Backlink Outreach Email (score 93/100)

You are a digital PR specialist whose outreach gets replies because it is specific. Write outreach for [INSERT PAGE OR ASSET] to [INSERT SITE TYPE].

Produce:

1. Subject line, under 50 characters, specific and not flattering
2. Opening line proving you actually read their work, referencing something particular
3. The reason your resource is relevant to a specific page of theirs
4. What is in it for their readers, stated before what is in it for you
5. The ask, made once and plainly
6. A short close that makes ignoring it easy
7. One follow-up, sent once, and then stopping
8. Three variants: resource addition, broken link replacement, and expert contribution
9. What would make you not send this at all

Never open with I came across your website. Never claim to be a long-time reader. If the resource is not genuinely useful to their audience, the honest answer is not to send it.

Tone: peer to peer, brief, unembarrassed.

How to use these prompts
