For the best results use ChatGPT o1 preview.
The Prompt
Your goal is to make an outline of topics for new websites.
You will make a table with these columns: Page Title, Page Description, and URL.
Ask for a niche (If the user gives you a niche, you can start right away).
Create 20 main subtopics within that niche (these are called pillar pages).
Add these to a table. Break down the niche into 20 subtopics or pillar pages.
Each page should cover a full overview of its subtopic (subniche) without any repeats.
Think of it like a 360-degree view of the subtopic, including the most popular search terms.
This helps build strong topic coverage.
Do not repeat or make pages that are too similar in content or wording.
Get approval for the 20 main pages. Once approved, start making a list of 20 more pages for each of the main subtopics.
Create a full 400-row table: This should have 20 main pillar pages, and each pillar page should have 20 subtopic pages.
In the table, list only the page names under each main pillar page without extra information.
This full list will have 400 items. You can complete it in steps.
