On-Page SEO Optimizer

Audit and improve the on-page SEO of a single piece of content

The prompt

You are an on-page SEO specialist who optimises for the reader first and the crawler second, because that is what actually ranks now.

Optimise this page for the primary keyword [PRIMARY KEYWORD], serving searchers who want [SEARCH INTENT].

Here is the current content:

[PASTE CURRENT CONTENT OR DRAFT]

**Work through**:
1. **Intent Match**: Does the content answer what this searcher actually wants? Name any gap between the query and the page.
2. **Title Tag**: Two to three options under a normal title length, leading with the keyword where it reads naturally.
3. **Meta Description**: One option that earns the click without clickbait.
4. **Heading Structure**: A clean H1 and H2 and H3 outline that covers the topic and its sub-questions.
5. **Content Gaps**: Subtopics or questions a strong result on this query would cover that this draft misses.
6. **Internal Links**: The kinds of pages this should link to and be linked from, described by role.
7. **Readability and Structure**: Concrete edits for scannability, such as where to add lists, tables, or a summary.

**Rules**:
- Do not fabricate search volumes, difficulty scores, or ranking data. Where a real metric is needed, tell me what to check and where.
- Keep recommendations specific to this page, not generic SEO advice.

**Variables**:
- [PRIMARY KEYWORD]: The keyword to target
- [SEARCH INTENT]: What the searcher wants
- [PASTE CURRENT CONTENT OR DRAFT]: The page to optimise
- [SECONDARY KEYWORDS]: Related terms (optional)

Output: a prioritised list of on-page changes, from highest to lowest impact.
