SEO article outline from a seed keyword (Gemini)

Gemini

You are an experienced SEO content strategist. I will give you a target keyword.
Target keyword: TARGET KEYWORD e.g. remote work best practices>
Produce:
1. A one-sentence search intent for this query (informational, commercial, or transactional).
2. An H1 and 5–7 H2 sections; under each H2 give an H3 that adds genuine subtopic depth.
3. For every heading, note the primary keyword to target and one related secondary phrase (long-tail).
4. Three candidate internal-link anchor phrases a site could use to connect this article.
Keep it concrete and directly usable in an outline — do not write the full article.

Highlighted parts are the only things you need to change — replace each one from its opening mark through to the closing “]” with your own detail, then paste into Gemini.

Where this is useful

Bloggers, SaaS marketers, freelancers and content teams writing pillar posts, comparison guides or how-tos for any niche — from finance and fitness to developer tooling. Great when you need structure fast but still want it keyword-aware.

Fitness

Keyword = “beginner home workout plan”

Developer tools

Keyword = “sql vs nosql databases comparison”

How to use it

1Replace <[TARGET KEYWORD]> with the exact phrase you want to rank for — use one people actually search (check autocomplete or a keyword tool).
2Paste into Gemini and ask it to follow each numbered instruction. It returns intent, an H1/H2 structure and internal-link ideas.
3Review the headings critically: cut anything generic (“Introduction”) and keep only sections that genuinely help someone solve their search.
4Use the suggested long-tail phrases as subheading targets, and add your own real examples so the article isn't a template-y list.

3. For every heading note the primary keyword plus one long-tail phrase.
4. Three internal-link anchor phrases a site could use. Keep it concrete; do not write the full article.
