Prompt To Generate Titles For Articles (Special Technique!)

Apr '23 (edited) • Prompts

Acting as a [expert], write 10 sets of 60 character titles using a friendly and helpful tone, with the goal of creating titles that will be clicked on Google for the [subject]. After creating the titles, take on the persona of an expert in Google Organic Traffic Marketing and Title Optimization, and review the titles. Rewrite the titles to have a higher probability of being clicked if they appear for related search terms. Rewritten title should only be about 50 characters long.

[subject] is "How to segment an email list"

[expert] is "Email Marketing Expert"

This prompt uses 2 different "experts" to create better titles for your articles. The output is quite a bit better this way. The first expert makes sure the content is correct and the second pushes the title to be "clickbait".

The 50 character sentence at the end was put there because if you leave it as 60 (what your limit really is for Google), ChatGPT always tacks on 10 characters or so. lol

Here's a sample of the output.

Expert Review: The original titles are informative and relevant to the topic of email list segmentation, but they may not be attention-grabbing enough to attract clicks on Google. To increase the click-through rate, we can use power words and create a sense of urgency or exclusivity in the titles.
