What this prompt does
This prompt generates keyword research tuned for a brand-new blog with zero domain authority. It frames the model as a senior SEO strategist launching from scratch and asks for 50 keyword ideas spanning informational, commercial, and transactional intent, each with a volume estimate, a difficulty score, an intent label, likely competing domains, and a content angle. Crucially, it's told to be realistic about what a new domain can actually rank for, which keeps the list grounded in winnable terms.
Four variables shape the output. [niche] sets the topical scope of every idea. [audience] ensures the content angles speak to the right reader. [business_goal] keeps the keywords tied to outcomes like trial signups rather than vanity traffic. [cadence] informs the suggested publishing order across the first weeks. The priority sort favoring low-difficulty, high-intent terms is the heart of the prompt — a new domain wins on the boring long-tail first, and volume compounds as authority builds. Pairing each keyword with a competing-domain read and an angle to beat them also keeps the plan honest about what you're actually up against.
When to use it
- You're launching a blog from zero and need a realistic first keyword list
- You want to avoid wasting months on head terms a new site can't rank for
- You need keyword ideas labeled by intent so you can balance the funnel
- You want a content angle per keyword that fits your audience and goal
- You need a publishing order sized to your real
[cadence] - You want one sortable table you can filter by difficulty and intent
Example output
You get a single sortable table of 50 keyword ideas. Each row carries a search-volume estimate, a difficulty score from 1 to 100, an intent label, the likely top-3 competing domains with a realistic angle to beat them, and a content angle fitting your audience and business goal. The table is pre-sorted to favor low-difficulty, high-intent terms, with a suggested publishing order across the first weeks based on your cadence.
Pro tips
- Trust the priority sort; for a new domain, the low-difficulty, high-intent long-tail terms compound faster than chasing head terms
- The volume and difficulty numbers are model estimates, so validate the promising rows in a real keyword tool before committing your calendar
- Set
[niche]and[audience]precisely so the content angles land with the right reader instead of being generic - Tie
[business_goal]to a concrete action so commercial and transactional keywords actually support revenue, not just clicks - Match
[cadence]to what you can sustain; an honest two-posts-per-week order beats an ambitious schedule you abandon - Use the intent labels to keep a healthy mix; all-informational lists rank but rarely convert
