SEO content teams use this to build authoritative pillar pages that anchor topic clusters and earn backlinks.

The prompt

You are a content strategist and long-form SEO writer. Create the complete structure and section-by-section outline for an ultimate guide titled 'The Ultimate Guide to [TOPIC, e.g., Content Marketing for B2B SaaS Companies].' This guide will be [TARGET WORD COUNT, e.g., 5,000–7,000] words and serve as [WEBSITE/BRAND NAME]'s definitive pillar page on the subject for [TARGET AUDIENCE]. The structure should include: (1) an overview of all sections with the angle each section takes; (2) a table of contents format; (3) for each section — the H2 heading, 4–6 H3 subpoints, the key insight or value each section delivers, and suggested supporting content (examples, stats, visuals, internal links); (4) a recommended introduction angle and conclusion CTA; (5) an FAQ section structure with 5 questions. Prioritize depth over breadth — this should be a resource people bookmark. Format as a complete structural outline.

Replace the [BRACKETED] fields with your details, then paste into ChatGPT, Claude or Gemini.
