Blog post prompt

A copy-and-paste prompt for ChatGPT, Claude or Gemini that gets a professional blog post on the first try, plus the cheapest model that does it well.

What most people type

write a blog post about how to choose a hiking backpack, for my outdoor gear store blog

It works, but the AI has to guess your store name, audience and main keyword, so the first answer usually needs another round. The version below asks for exactly what a professional would deliver.

The better prompt

Write a blog post on how to choose a hiking backpack for my outdoor gear store's blog.

Context:
- Store: [store name]. Audience: [audience, e.g. beginner or experienced hikers].
- Target keyword: [main keyword]. Search intent: shoppers comparing options before buying.
- Tone: [brand voice]. Don't invent product names, prices, brands or specs, and don't make unverifiable claims.

Include:
- 3 headline options.
- A short hook intro.
- An H2/H3 outline covering the key buying factors a gear expert would explain (for example trip length and capacity, fit and torso size, suspension and comfort, weight, features, and budget). Add a short fitting checklist.
- Spots marked for internal links to [relevant product or category pages].
- A meta description under 155 characters.
- One call to action: [e.g. visit the store or book a pack fitting].

Format: markdown with headings, written to rank on Google and easy to scan. Length should fit the topic, around 900-1,200 words.

Replace the [brackets] with your details before you send it: store name, audience, e.g. beginner or experienced hikers, main keyword, brand voice, relevant product or category pages, e.g. visit the store or book a pack fitting.

Why this version works

  • Added audience, keyword and tone placeholders. A blog post needs these to target the right shoppers.
  • Specified headlines, outline, meta description. Matches what a pro SEO blog post includes.
  • Named key buying factors to cover. Guides depth without writing the content.
  • Added internal link spots and one CTA. Supports store sales and SEO.
