Why Gemini Works for SEO
Google Gemini excels at the analytical and creative aspects of SEO that tools alone can't handle. While SEO tools provide data (volumes, rankings, backlinks), Gemini helps you interpret that data and create optimized content.
Content Brief Generation
Feed Gemini your keywords and competitor analysis to get comprehensive content briefs with outlines, word counts, and differentiation strategies.
Structured Output
Gemini reliably produces structured formats: tables for audits, JSON for schema markup, and organized lists for implementation plans.
Schema & Technical SEO
Generate JSON-LD schema markup, analyze URL structures, and create technical audit checklists with proper formatting.
Multi-Step Analysis
Complex SEO tasks like content refreshes and migrations require multi-phase analysis. Gemini maintains context throughout detailed prompts.
Pro tip: Combine with SEO tools
Export data from Ahrefs, SEMrush, or Search Console, then use these prompts to analyze it. Gemini interprets the data; tools collect it. For custom SEO prompts tailored to your workflow, try the Gemini prompt generator.

How to Customize These Prompts
These templates work best when you provide specific data from your SEO tools and describe your content strategy context. Here's how to get the best results:
1. Include Real Data
Export keyword lists from your SEO tool. Paste competitor page outlines. Include actual search volumes when available. Real data produces actionable output.
2. Specify Your Goals
“Increase organic traffic” is vague. “Rank in top 3 for 'project management software' and capture the featured snippet” is actionable and helps Gemini focus the analysis.
3. Add Competitor Context
For content tasks, paste competitor page outlines or key sections. This helps Gemini understand what's currently ranking and how to differentiate.
4. Iterate for Depth
After initial output, drill down: “Expand on the content gap analysis” or “Give me 5 more title tag options focused on urgency.”
Frequently Asked Questions
Gemini complements SEO tools by handling the analysis and content creation that tools can't do well. Use tools like Ahrefs or SEMrush for data (search volume, rankings), then use Gemini for interpreting that data—clustering keywords, writing briefs, generating meta tags, and creating content outlines. Gemini handles the thinking; tools handle the data.
Gemini doesn't have real-time search volume data, so use it for keyword ideation and clustering rather than volume estimates. Feed it keyword lists from your SEO tools, and use Gemini to group them by intent, identify content gaps, and generate related keyword ideas. Always verify volumes and difficulty in your SEO tool.
Gemini can create well-structured, comprehensive content outlines and drafts. However, ranking requires E-E-A-T (experience, expertise, authoritativeness, trustworthiness), which means human expertise and editing. Use Gemini to accelerate research and drafting, then add your unique insights, data, and examples.
Include the target keyword and describe what users are looking for when they search it. Paste the SERP results (titles and descriptions of top-ranking pages) so Gemini understands what content is currently satisfying that intent. Ask Gemini to identify the dominant intent type (informational, transactional, navigational) before generating content.
Provide your target keyword, competing page URLs or outlines, and any specific requirements (word count, tone, must-include sections). Ask Gemini to analyze what makes competitors rank and create a brief that addresses those factors while differentiating your content.
Yes, Gemini can generate JSON-LD schema markup. Provide the page content and specify the schema type needed (Article, FAQ, HowTo, Product, etc.). Always validate generated schema using Google's Rich Results Test before implementing—Gemini occasionally makes minor syntax errors.
Paste your existing content and recent SERP data for your target keyword. Ask Gemini to identify gaps between your content and top-ranking competitors, outdated information, and opportunities to add fresh data or examples. Use the output to prioritize your update efforts.
Gemini is better for analysis, strategy, and structured outputs (briefs, outlines, schema). Specialized tools may be optimized for long-form drafting. Use Gemini for thinking work, then draft in whichever tool produces the best output for your use case. These prompts focus on Gemini's analytical strengths.
