Prompt objective
Produce blog post titles that achieve above 5% CTR in Google's organic search results, outperforming industry averages.

Customize these fields first
Replace the placeholders with your own context before you run the prompt. That usually improves the first output more than adding more instructions later.
Prompt
Generate optimized titles using the 4Us formula for [NUMBER] blog articles from [COMPANY/BRAND NAME] in the [NICHE] niche. Target keywords for the articles: 1. [KEYWORD 1] 2. [KEYWORD 2] 3. [KEYWORD 3] (add up to 10) **For each keyword, create 3 title variations applying the 4Us:** - **Useful**: What concrete benefit does the reader gain? (numbers, savings, results) - **Urgent**: Why read NOW and not later? (trend, deadline, consequence) - **Unique**: What differentiates this content from the top 10 on Google? (angle, data, format) - **Ultra-specific**: Eliminate ambiguity — who, how much, when, exactly how? **For each title, provide:** - Complete title (50-60 characters for SEO) - Complementary meta description (150-155 characters) - Score for each U (1-5) - Power words used - Comparison with typical titles ranking for that keyword - Title tag vs. H1 suggestion (when they should differ) **Rules:** - Odd numbers perform better in headlines (e.g., 7, 13, 21) - Include the year [YEAR] when content is frequently updated - Avoid clickbait — content must deliver what the title promises - Consider search intent: informational, transactional, or navigational Delivery format: comparative table with 3 variations side by side.
