ChatGPT SEO Prompts: 25 Ready-to-Use Templates for High-Quality Blog Posts

Why Prompts Still Matter in 2025

Since the launch of GPT-4o and other multimodal models, you can record a voice note, drop a PDF, or share a URL and get a decent draft in seconds. But “decent” isn’t enough if you want to rank for competitive keywords or maintain a consistent brand voice. Well-crafted prompts act like miniature creative briefs. They reduce back-and-forth, cut editing time, and—most importantly—signal to the model which SEO elements actually move the needle (search intent, SERP gaps, internal links, etc.).

In this guide, you’ll find 25 copy-and-paste ChatGPT SEO prompts we use at BlogSEO to auto-generate and auto-publish hundreds of blog posts every month. Feel free to adapt the variables in brackets to match your niche, brand tone, and target keywords.

Tip: If you’re running BlogSEO, paste any of these prompts into a Custom Template to make them available to all collaborators—no more Slack pings asking for the “right” prompt.
