If your website isn’t getting traffic, you’re doing it wrong. People less smart than you have figured out how to optimise their website and get people there. They created content and got it in front of people. They set up their pages to attract attention and turn it into enquiries. Now it’s your turn.
Transform your invisible website into a client-attracting powerhouse that works around the clock. Copy, paste and edit the square brackets in ChatGPT, and keep the same chat window open so the context carries through.
Boost your website traffic with ChatGPT: proven prompts that deliver
Understand what buyers are already searching
Nobody searches randomly online. They hunt for solutions to specific problems using specific language. Businesses guess what terms their customers use. Get inside your customer’s head and discover their actual search patterns. Learn which terms deliver visitors with their payment card in hand. Use these insights to create content that ranks and converts.
“You are an SEO expert specializing in search intent analysis. I need to understand what my ideal customers are searching for when they’re ready to buy [describe your product/service]. First, ask me 5 questions about my target audience, industry, and current website performance. Using my answers, suggest 10 high-commercial-intent keywords and search phrases that indicate someone is close to purchasing. For each keyword, explain why it shows buying intent and how competitive it might be to rank for. Organize these by estimated search volume and competition level.”
Create blog content that ranks
Most blogs exist without purpose or strategy. Break this pattern. Solve real problems, establish your expertise, and pull visitors toward becoming customers. Turn your blog into a client-generating machine with strategic content. Build authority on topics that matter to both your audience and Google. Create cornerstone articles that answer crucial questions and attract consistent traffic.
“You are a content strategist with deep SEO expertise. Help me create an SEO-optimized blog content plan for my website. First, ask me about my business goals and existing content. Then, suggest 10 blog post titles that could rank well and support my business objectives. For each title, provide: 1) The primary keyword to target, 2) 3-5 related keywords to include, 3) A brief outline of what the post should cover, and 4) Why this content would be valuable to both search engines and my audience.”
Write copy that delivers value
Website copy fails when it talks about you instead of your visitors. Your potential customers care about one thing: their problems getting solved quickly. Keep their attention by showing you understand what they need. This is where you win the game. Speak directly to your visitors’ deepest desires and frustrations. Use clear, compelling language that builds trust instantly. Write for humans first, search engines second.
“Review my current website copy (or help me create new copy) that focuses on customer problems and solutions rather than company information. First, ask me about my target audience’s primary pain points, desired outcomes, and objections to purchasing. Then, suggest a complete rewrite of my [home page/about page/services page]
that: 1) Opens with a strong hook addressing their biggest challenge, 2) Presents my offering as the obvious solution, 3) Provides proof that builds credibility, and 4) Includes a clear call-to-action. Make the language simple, direct, and focused on benefits rather than features. Here’s the webpage I’m working on: [Paste copy or link the page]”
Perfect your on-page SEO foundation
Technical SEO mistakes kill your rankings. Businesses wonder why nobody finds them online while completely neglecting the basics. They create content without fixing their foundation. Their websites send confusing signals to Google and everyone loses. Get the fundamentals right before anything else. Make your website structure crystal clear to both visitors and search engines. Optimize every page element from title to content to internal links.
“I need to audit and optimize the on-page SEO elements of my website. First, ask me about my current website structure, CMS platform, and any SEO work I’ve already done. Then, create a comprehensive on-page SEO checklist for my website that includes: 1) Title tag and meta description optimization for my top 5 pages, 2) Header structure recommendations, 3) Image optimization guidelines, 4) Internal linking strategies, 5) Page speed improvement suggestions, and 6) Mobile-friendliness best practices. Explain why each element matters for search visibility and how to implement these changes correctly.”
Create a content distribution flywheel
Publishing content on your website accomplishes nothing alone. Distribution makes the difference between getting seen and staying hidden. Build a flywheel that amplifies everything you create. Take one central piece of content and transform it into multiple formats for every platform where your audience hangs out. Create a system where each piece feeds traffic back to your website continuously.
“Help me create a content distribution strategy that will drive more traffic to my website. Based on what you know about my business, develop a comprehensive content distribution plan that: 1) Suggests the optimal platforms to share my website content, 2) Shows how to repurpose each piece of content into multiple formats (social posts, emails, videos, etc.), 3) Provides a weekly schedule for posting across channels, and 4) Includes strategies to encourage sharing and engagement that drives traffic back to my website. Focus on creating a sustainable system I can maintain consistently.”
Boost your website traffic: simple strategies for massive results
Your website deserves serious attention and here’s how to get it. Uncover what your audience actually searches for and create content they genuinely want. Write copy that converts visitors into buyers. Fix your technical foundations and build a distribution system that works while you sleep. The potential is clear. Study the game and play to win.
