What this prompt does

This prompt runs a structured technical SEO audit and returns prioritized, concrete fixes rather than a generic checklist. It frames the model as a senior technical SEO engineer auditing a specific live site and asks for six areas: indexation and crawl, international and structured-data checks, Core Web Vitals, internal linking and error handling, thin and duplicate content, and a prioritized fix table. The explicit instruction to avoid "generic advice" pushes the output toward findings tied to the site's actual stack.

The four variables make the audit relevant. [url] is the site under audit. [platform] tells the model which stack-specific issues to watch for, so advice fits a Laravel app or a WordPress site differently. [known_concern] directs extra scrutiny at the problem you already suspect, like duplicate tag pages. [primary_kpi] is what every recommendation ties back to, and it drives the impact ranking in the final table. That impact-times-effort sort is the difference between a usable audit and a 90-item list nobody touches. Anchoring each finding to a single KPI also makes the report easy to defend when a stakeholder asks why a fix is worth the engineering time.

When to use it

  • Indexation dropped and you need to triage canonicals, robots, and noindex fast
  • You're inheriting a site and want a structured map of its technical debt
  • You suspect a specific issue ([known_concern]) and want it investigated in context
  • You need Core Web Vitals findings with likely causes, not just scores
  • You want fixes ranked by impact and effort so you know what to do first
  • You're reporting to stakeholders and need a top-5 fix-first list

Example output

You get a findings table covering indexation, hreflang and schema validity, Core Web Vitals (LCP, INP, CLS) with a probable cause behind each weak metric, internal linking and HTTPS/redirect/error checks, and thin or duplicate content flags. The table is ranked by impact times effort, with each row tied to the primary KPI, followed by a top-5 "fix first" list so you have an immediate action plan.

Pro tips

  • Do the prioritization step ruthlessly; an impact-times-effort sort against [primary_kpi] is what makes the audit usable
  • Set [known_concern] to the issue you actually suspect so the model spends scrutiny where it counts (e.g. duplicate tag and category pages)
  • Give an accurate [platform] so stack-specific fixes apply — server-rendered Laravel and a JS SPA need different crawl advice
  • The model cannot crawl the live site, so feed it real data (Search Console exports, PageSpeed results, sample URLs) for grounded findings
  • Tie [primary_kpi] to something measurable like indexed pages and clicks, so you can verify the fixes worked later
  • Treat Core Web Vitals causes as hypotheses to confirm in the field, not measured numbers

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this prompt actually crawl my live site?
No. The model has no live crawler, so it reasons from what you describe and any data you paste. For accurate findings, feed it Search Console exports, PageSpeed results, robots.txt, and sample URLs rather than just the domain.
How are the fixes prioritized?
The final table ranks issues by impact times effort, with each row tied to your `[primary_kpi]`. This sort is the most valuable part, since it turns a long list of warnings into a short, ordered action plan you can actually execute.
Can it diagnose my Core Web Vitals problems?
It returns LCP, INP, and CLS findings with the likely cause behind each weak metric, but these are hypotheses, not measured values. Confirm them with field data and a profiler before investing engineering time in a fix.
Will it catch duplicate content issues?
Yes, it flags thin and duplicate content and pays extra attention to whatever you set in `[known_concern]`. Pointing it at a real suspicion, like duplicate tag and category pages, focuses the audit where it matters most.
