13 Powerful ChatGPT Prompts for SEO Content

As of June 2023, ChatGPT had over 100 million users worldwide. Several businesses and startups have also incorporated the AI tool into their production cycles – Sales, marketing, and customer service. However, most writers worry that search engines might detect and penalize AI-generated content. Note that Google has since updated its policy to accommodate using artificial intelligence writing tools.

For outstanding content, give ChatGPT specific context. In other words, you must become a prompt engineer. Prompt engineering means writing phrases instructing the ChatBot on specific details you’d like it to capture in its response. It is the blade you use to cut through the shallow crust of OpenAI\’s Large Language Model to reach the hive\’s core.

Prompt Engineering is critical for writing attention-grabbing titles, introductions, article outlines, a Call to Action (CTA), and any creative element your writing needs. It is so significant that I have engineered some critical prompts to spark your creativity for quality content from ChatGPT.
