https://search.google.com/test/rich-results

Google's Rich Results Test validates that your Schema markup is correctly formatted and readable by Google and AI engines. Paste your Schema code or enter your page URL to see which properties can be parsed. The tool catches syntax errors automatically and shows exactly what Google sees. Use this after implementing Article Schema, Organization Schema, or any other structured data.

This prompt generates complete, validated BlogPosting Schema (JSON-LD) from any blog post URL. The AI fetches your page, extracts key properties (headline, description, author, dates, publisher), and generates production-ready Schema code. If any fields are missing, it asks you to provide them before generating. Copy the output and paste into your website header.

Prompt:

You are a structured-data validation and generation engine specialized in schema.org and Google Rich Results.

I will provide you with a URL to a published blog post.

URL = []

PHASE 1: FETCH & VALIDATE
1. Fetch the page content at the provided URL.
2. Extract and validate the following properties directly from visible content, metadata, or structured elements:
   - Canonical URL
   - Article headline (page title)
   - Meta description or article summary
   - Main / featured image URL
   - Author name
   - Date published (ISO 8601)
   - Date modified (ISO 8601, if available)
   - Publisher / organization name
   - Publisher logo URL

3. Validation rules:
   - All extracted values must be visible on the page or in legitimate metadata (title tag, meta description, Open Graph, JSON-LD).
   - All URLs must be absolute and crawlable.
   - Dates must follow YYYY-MM-DD format.
   - Headline must be under 110 characters.
   - Image must be at least 1200px wide.

PHASE 2: MISSING DATA CHECK
4. If any required or recommended property cannot be confidently extracted or validated, STOP.
5. Do NOT generate JSON-LD yet.
6. Instead, respond with a clear list in this exact format:

   "I could not reliably extract the following fields from the page:
   - [Field name]
   - [Field name]

   Please provide only these missing values, and I will generate a fully valid BlogPosting schema."

PHASE 3: SCHEMA GENERATION
7. Once the user supplies the missing values:
   - Merge them with the previously validated data.
   - Generate a complete BlogPosting schema in JSON-LD.
   - Use only schema.org-supported properties.
   - Ensure compatibility with Google Rich Results Test.

8. Output requirements:
   - Output ONLY a single <script type="application/ld+json"> block.
   - No explanations, comments, or markdown.
   - Ensure mainEntityOfPage matches the canonical URL.
   - Include publisher as an Organization with a logo ImageObject.

EXPECTED OUTPUT STRUCTURE:

<script type="application/ld+json">
{
  "@context": "https://schema.org",
  "@type": "BlogPosting",
  "mainEntityOfPage": {
    "@type": "WebPage",
    "@id": "<canonical URL>"
  },
  "headline": "",
  "description": "",
  "image": "",
  "author": {
    "@type": "Person",
    "name": ""
  },
  "publisher": {
    "@type": "Organization",
    "name": "",
    "logo": {
      "@type": "ImageObject",
      "url": ""
    }
  },
  "datePublished": "",
  "dateModified": ""
}
</script>

This is the exact prompt demonstrated in the lecture to instantly map out a full content cluster. Ask any AI: "What are all the subtopics someone needs to understand about [your core topic]?" The AI returns 8-12 supporting subtopics in seconds - giving you a complete content cluster outline. Use this to build the topical authority Google AI Overviews reward. Replace [your core topic] with your specific pillar topic before running.

What are all the subtopics someone needs to understand about [your core topic]?

How to use: Replace [your core topic] with your specific topic (e.g., "aquarium cycling", "email marketing for SaaS", "on-page SEO"). Use the output as your content cluster plan - each subtopic becomes a supporting article that links back to your pillar page.

Prerequisites: Have your pillar content topic identified before running.

https://www.wikipedia.org

Wikipedia is one of the most trusted sources in ChatGPT's training data. Instead of creating a promotional page about yourself (which gets deleted), contribute genuinely to existing articles in your expertise area. Find incomplete sections, add valuable content with citations, and build reputation as a legitimate contributor. Over time, opportunities for more substantial representation emerge naturally.

When competitors publish content covering the same topic without crediting your original analysis, this template gives you the exact email to send. It is brief, friendly, and non-confrontational - most people add the citation immediately because nobody wants plagiarism accusations. Every citation you recover this way becomes an authority signal. Use this alongside Google Alerts or Copyscape to turn content copies into backlinks.

"Subject: Quick attribution request - [Topic] coverage Hi [Name], I came across your recent piece on [their article title or topic] - good coverage of [specific aspect]. I published the original analysis on this topic on [Date] at [Your URL]. Since your article covers similar ground, would you mind adding a citation back to the source? Just a quick link addition - I appreciate it. [Your Name] [Your Website]"

How to use:

1. Set up Google Alerts or Copyscape for your article title and unique phrases (shown in the lecture)
2. When you find a piece that covers the same topic without crediting you, check if the overlap is substantial
3. If it is, use this template - customize [Name], [their article title], and [Your URL]
4. Send once. If no response after 7 days, move on

Note: Only use this for genuine coverage of the same topic without attribution. Do not use it if the other article independently arrived at the same conclusions. Protect your credibility.
