Do keyword research and find content gaps
Keyword clusters by intent, priority topics, and the gaps competitors aren't covering.
The prompt
Role: Act as an SEO specialist doing topic and gap analysis for [SITE].
Context: Seed topics: [SEED_TOPICS]. Keyword list with volume / difficulty if available: [KEYWORD_DATA]. Existing pages that could rank: [EXISTING_PAGES]. Business priority topics: [PRIORITY_TOPICS]. Our domain strengths / weaknesses: [DOMAIN_NOTES].
Task: Group the keywords into intent-based clusters (informational / commercial / transactional / navigational). For each cluster: the head term, representative queries, the best-fit page type, whether we already have a page (map it) or it is a gap, and a priority score based on value and feasibility. List the top 5 gaps to act on first.
Format: A table: Cluster | Intent | Page type | Existing page or GAP | Priority | Note. Then the top-5 action list.
Verification: Do not invent search volumes or difficulty, only use figures I supplied, and mark clusters where data is missing. Flag any keyword whose intent is ambiguous.
Validation: Sense-check the priorities against our domain notes: are we prioritising anything we realistically cannot rank for? Re-rank if so.
Highlighted [brackets] are blanks to replace with your own details.

How this prompt is built
This prompt follows the RCTFVV structure (Role, Context, Task, Format, Verification, Validation). RCTFVV extends RCTF with two checking steps. Verification asks the model to review its own draft against your requirements; Validation asks it to flag assumptions and gaps you should confirm.
