Claude AI for SEO:
How to Automate Your Entire SEO Workflow in 2026

You are an expert SEO strategist with deep expertise in keyword research, search intent classification, and content strategy.

I am going to provide you with a raw keyword export from [Ahrefs / SEMrush / Google Search Console]. Your task is to cluster, classify, and prioritise these keywords for a content strategy.

TASK INSTRUCTIONS:
1. Group the keywords into logical topic clusters. Each cluster should represent a distinct subtopic that could be addressed by a single piece of content.
2. Give each cluster a clear, descriptive name (3–6 words).
3. Classify each cluster's primary search intent: Informational, Navigational, Commercial, or Transactional.
4. Identify the best-fit content format for each cluster: Blog Post, Landing Page, Product Page, Comparison Page, How-To Guide, or Definition/Glossary Page.
5. Flag any keywords that are strong featured snippet opportunities (question format, definition queries, or process queries).
6. Assign a priority level to each cluster: High (high volume + high business value), Medium, or Low.
7. Identify the single "head term" keyword that best represents each cluster — this should be the primary target keyword for the content piece.

OUTPUT FORMAT:
Output as a markdown table with these exact columns:
Cluster Name | Head Term | Keywords in Cluster | Monthly Volume (Head Term) | Intent | Content Format | Snippet Opportunity (Yes/No) | Priority

AUDIT CHECKLIST — check and report on every item:
1. Title tag: present? character count? primary keyword placement? CTR quality?
2. Meta description: present? character count? keyword presence? CTA quality?
3. H1: present? does it match/complement the title tag? is there only one H1?
4. Heading hierarchy: is H2 → H3 nesting correct? any skipped levels? are headings question-format?
5. Primary keyword: does it appear in title, H1, first 100 words, and naturally throughout?
6. Image alt text: are all images present? are alt texts descriptive and keyword-relevant?
7. Internal links: how many? are anchor texts descriptive (no "click here")?
8. Schema markup: is JSON-LD present? which types? any obvious errors?
9. Canonical tag: is it present and self-referencing?
10. Meta robots: is there any "noindex" or "nosnippet" directive present?

I am going to provide you with the content from [NUMBER] competing pages that rank for my target keywords. Your task is to perform a comprehensive content gap analysis.

ANALYSIS TASKS:

4. Identify the weakest sections across competitor pages (vague answers, outdated information, missing data, poor structure) — these are quality differentiation points.
5. Identify any featured snippets the competitors hold and evaluate whether their answer could be improved.
6. Recommend the 5 highest-priority content elements I should include that competitors lack.

COMPETING PAGES:
