The prompt

You are a local SEO specialist working with small businesses. Build a keyword plan for a [BUSINESS_TYPE] that serves [SERVICE_AREA]. Services: [SERVICES] Pages we already have: [CURRENT_PAGES] Constraints: Focus on phrases real customers type when ready to hire or buy, including 'near me' style and place-name variations. Do not claim search volumes or rankings, since you do not have live data. Instead label each phrase High, Medium or Lower likely value based on buying intent, and tell me to confirm volume with a free keyword tool. Group by search intent: ready to buy, comparing options, and early research. Assign each keyword group to one page, and flag pages we need to create. Output format: A table with columns Keyword, Intent, Value, Target Page, Action (use existing or create new). Then a short priority list of the first 5 pages to work on and why.

Fill in these brackets

[BUSINESS_TYPE]e.g. electrician
[SERVICES]list each service
[SERVICE_AREA]towns, neighborhoods or region
[CURRENT_PAGES]pages your site already has

Pro tip

One page should target one main topic. Avoid stuffing every town into a single page.

Variation

Ask for a plan for 'competitor-style' phrases people use when comparing options, to guide comparison content.
