ChatGPT Prompts for Keyword Research (Free Templates)

ChatGPT is good at the first half of keyword research: it knows how people phrase a question, which sub-topics belong together and what a searcher probably wants when they type a phrase. It knows nothing about search volume, CPC or competition, so the right workflow is to let it generate and classify, then check the numbers.

The Keyword Strategy prompt builds a topic map for a niche, Get Search Intent for Keywords labels a pasted list as informational, commercial, transactional or navigational, the Related Keyword Generator expands a seed keyword, and the Long-Tail Keyword Generator writes the three-to-five word phrases that are easier to rank for.

Paste the result into the Keywords Everywhere extension, or into the free keyword volume checker, and the monthly volume, CPC and competition appear next to every keyword. Keep the ones with real demand, drop the rest, and you have a keyword list in minutes instead of hours.

The templates are also available inside ChatGPT, in the sidebar the extension adds.
