Here’s a simple 12-step process to write SEO blogs with ChatGPT. If you follow these steps, you can create posts that drive thousands of clicks every month.

Step 1: Research Your Keyword

Start by Googling your keyword and looking at the top 3 ranking articles. Check their word count, and choose the longest one. Use that as your target for the length of your blog.

Step 2: Create a Content Outline

Use ChatGPT to gather the heading structure of the top 5 ranking articles. Copy this into a Google Doc to create your outline.

Step 3: Mix and Match the Headings

Combine and rearrange the headings from the top-ranking articles to create a more comprehensive outline.

Step 4: Improve Your Outline

Once your outline is ready, paste it into ChatGPT. Ask for more ideas to make the content even better. Add any relevant topics you think should be included.

Step 5: Write the Introduction

Ask ChatGPT to write the introduction using the PAS copywriting formula:

• Problem
• Agitate
• Solution

Step 6: Create a Meta Description and Title

Ask ChatGPT to generate a meta description and title for your blog post.

Step 7: Improve the Title and Meta Description

Sometimes the title and meta description from ChatGPT aren’t great. To make them better, give feedback based on the best posts from your competitors.

Step 8: Write the Article Sections

Now, ask ChatGPT to write each section of the blog, one at a time. This is better than asking it to fill in the whole outline at once, as ChatGPT has a word limit of about 1,000 words per output.

Step 9: Add an SEO FAQ Section

Ask ChatGPT to generate a FAQ section. Let it come up with common questions and answers related to your topic.

Step 10: Add Internal Links

Once the article is finished, use ChatGPT to add internal links to other blog posts on your website. Share the articles in the same topic cluster and ask ChatGPT to add links where they’re relevant.

Step 11: Find Relevant Stats

Ask ChatGPT to find statistics and trends about your topic. This helps make your post more credible. Always double-check these facts to make sure they’re accurate.

Step 12: Edit the Content

Finally, go through the post and edit it thoroughly. ChatGPT’s output can be inconsistent, so you’ll likely need to do a lot of edits to make it polished and ready for publishing.
