Prompts for planning and drafting blog posts that answer real questions, using AI for structure and your own experience for substance.
AI can draft a blog post on almost any topic in seconds, which is exactly why generic AI posts add so little value. Search engines have said they reward helpful, original content however it is produced, and they treat mass-produced pages made mainly to rank as spam. The useful middle ground is to let AI help with ideas, structure and editing while you supply the experience, examples and opinions only you have.
The prompts below are built that way. They ask the assistant to leave clearly marked gaps for your own knowledge rather than filling them with plausible-sounding filler.
Copy any prompt below, or build a custom one with the Prompt Builder. Highlighted [PLACEHOLDERS] are the parts to replace with your own details.
I run [BUSINESS NAME], a [TYPE OF BUSINESS] for [IDEAL CUSTOMER].Suggest 20 blog post ideas that answer real questions my customers have at different stages: before they know they need us, while comparing options, and after buying. For each idea give a working title and the specific question it answers. Avoid generic topics that any business could write about.
TipPick topics where you have real experience to add. Those are the posts worth writing.
Create an outline for a blog post titled "[WORKING TITLE]" for [AUDIENCE].Include: the main question the post answers, a short introduction, 5 to 8 section headings with bullet points of what to cover, and a conclusion. Mark every place where my own experience, examples, photos or opinions would make the post better than a generic article with [MY EXPERIENCE: what to add]. Flag any facts or statistics I would need to check.
Write a blog post from my outline and notes below. Keep my examples, opinions and facts exactly as written, and keep my voice: [DESCRIBE YOUR VOICE OR PASTE A SAMPLE OF YOUR WRITING].[PASTE OUTLINE AND NOTES]Do not add statistics, studies or quotes that are not in my notes. Where a section is thin, tell me what to add instead of padding it.
Edit the blog post below for clarity and readability without changing my meaning, facts or voice.[PASTE DRAFT]Shorten long sentences, cut repetition, and suggest clearer headings. Then list any claims that need a source and any sections where a reader might get confused.
TipAsk for a list of changes, not just the edited text, so you can accept or reject each one.
Here is a blog post I published: [PASTE OR SUMMARIZE]Turn it into: an email to my newsletter (under 200 words), 3 social media posts for [PLATFORM], and a short FAQ entry for my website. Keep the facts consistent and link back to the full post where it makes sense.
This post was written in [YEAR]: [PASTE POST]Identify anything that may be out of date (prices, rules, tools, statistics, advice that has changed) and list it for me to check. Then suggest new sections that would make the post more useful today. Do not state new facts as certain; flag what I need to verify.
Prompt 1 with: Ridgeway Bike Repair, a bike repair shop for commuters and weekend riders in Tacoma.
The responseA few of the 20 ideas returned:
Sample response, produced by running this prompt in Claude (Anthropic) with the fictional business above. AI responses vary every time you run a prompt; use this to see the kind of result to expect, not as copy to reuse.
Check every fact, number and claim in AI output before you publish. See how to fact-check AI content.
Google has said it focuses on the quality and helpfulness of content rather than how it was produced. What it treats as spam is content produced at scale mainly to manipulate rankings. A useful, accurate post that you have checked and improved is fine; hundreds of thin auto-generated posts are not.
Consistency matters more than frequency. One genuinely useful post a month that answers a real customer question is better than weekly posts with nothing new to say.
