Provide a comprehensive on-page SEO checklist for a blog post about "[BLOG POST TOPIC]". The checklist should cover all important elements to review before publishing, including keyword usage (in title, headings, and content), meta title and description, URL slug, internal and external links, image alt tags, content readability, and any other on-page SEO best practices. Present the checklist as a list of bullet points or steps, with a brief explanation for each item if needed.

How to Use

1. Define Your Inputs: Gather the specifics for the prompt:
   • The topic or title of the blog post you are optimizing (e.g. "How to Train for a Marathon").
   • The primary keyword or keywords you're targeting (e.g. "marathon training tips") – if not already obvious from the topic.
   • Any particular SEO guidelines or standards you follow (optional, e.g. a specific readability score or word count target).

2. Customize the Prompt: Insert your blog post topic into the prompt where it says “[BLOG POST TOPIC]”. Mention any key target keyword if it's not part of the title (you can add a note like "targeting keyword: [KEYWORD]"). You might adjust the prompt to emphasize certain areas if needed (for example, "focus on technical SEO aspects like schema markup if relevant"). Ensure the prompt is clear that you want a thorough checklist.

3. Optional Add-ons: If you have additional requirements, include them. For instance, you could ask the AI to prioritize items that improve user experience (like mobile-friendliness or page speed) alongside classic on-page SEO elements. Or if your site has particular SEO considerations (like using a specific content management system), you might mention that to see if the AI includes related tips.

4. Run the Prompt: Run the prompt in your AI tool. It will produce a list of on-page SEO checkpoints tailored to your blog post.

5. Review & Select: Examine the checklist provided. Check off the items against your blog post to ensure each one is addressed. The list might include things like title tag optimization, usage of headings, meta description, keyword density, image alt text, linking, etc. If any recommended steps seem irrelevant or if something important is missing, you can refine the prompt or simply note the additional items manually. The idea is to use this as a thorough QA before publishing.

6. Expected Outcome: You’ll receive a detailed checklist covering on-page SEO best practices for your blog post. By following this checklist, you can be confident that your content is well-optimized for search engines and ready to publish with all key elements in place.
