About this tool
Builds an SEO article prompt around a target query: search intent, heading structure, word budget and on-page limits baked in.
The SEO Article Prompt Builder turns a target search query, its search intent and a chosen heading structure into a complete AI writing prompt with the word budget and on-page limits embedded. It is built for SEO writers and content teams, and encodes the working rules of the trade: a roughly 60-character title tag, a 70-160 character meta description, exactly one H1, an answer-first opening block, and an exact-query usage cap of about 1% of the word count to stay clear of keyword stuffing.
Open SEO Article Prompt Builder on AltFTool — it loads instantly in your browser.
Enter the 'Target search query' and 'Who is searching', pick a 'Search intent', then set 'Target length (words)', 'H2 sections', 'H3s per H2' and 'FAQ questions'.
The builder budgets every section live — opening block, words per H2, FAQ block and conclusion — plus 'Max exact-query mentions' at a ~1% density cap.
Read the 'Generated prompt' with the 60-character title-tag and 70-160 character meta-description limits written in, and click 'Copy prompt'.
Informational, commercial, transactional and navigational intents each swap in a different structural directive based on Broder's classic query taxonomy.
The prompt caps exact-query mentions at about 1% of the word count, so drafts come back readable instead of keyword-crammed.
Every H2 and H3 carries its own allocation, so the draft lands near the briefed length instead of front-loading the introduction.
Keep title tags to roughly 60 characters. Google truncates titles at about 600 device pixels rather than a fixed character count, but ordinary mixed-case text fits within that width at around 60 characters, which is why this tool writes that limit into the prompt.
Google publishes no density number — its spam policy simply prohibits keyword stuffing. A common practitioner ceiling is about 1% for the exact query, so this tool caps exact-query mentions at roughly one per 100 words (minimum 3) and tells the model to use natural variants elsewhere.
Informational (wants to understand), navigational (wants a specific page or thing), transactional (ready to act), and commercial investigation (comparing before buying). The first three come from Broder's 2002 query taxonomy; SEO practice added commercial investigation. This tool changes the article structure it asks for based on which one you pick.
No — length is not a ranking factor; covering the query fully is what matters. This tool warns when your chosen structure leaves under about 100 words per H2, because sections that thin rarely cover a subtopic well, but it never pads length for its own sake.
