How to Use ChatGPT to Make an SEO Keyword Cluster (Prompt)

In the world of SEO, good keyword research helps your website show up better on search engines. Even though many people use regular keyword tools, adding ChatGPT can make a big difference.

Today, we’ll show you how to use ChatGPT for keyword research by creating a keyword cluster. This is essential when trying to cover a large range of topics on your blog to rank.

Keyword Cluster ChatGPT Prompt

Now, let’s make a keyword cluster using ChatGPT.

Using the prompt:

Create a keyword cluster for the parent keyword: [TOPIC]. Cluster the keywords into groups based on their relevance.

This will get ChatGPT to make a keyword list that’s well-organized.

For example we can use the prompt to replace [TOPIC] with photography. If you use this prompt, ChatGPT might group keywords under labels like “Types of Photography”, “Photography Tools”, “Taking Photos”, “Types of Photos”, and more. This helps you plan and write your content in a better way.

Conclusion

Adding ChatGPT to your keyword research can help a lot. It’s great for getting new keyword ideas, learning about related topics, and making a full keyword cluster. But remember, ChatGPT doesn’t replace your usual keyword tools (like RightBlogger’s keyword research tool). It’s just an extra helper in the keyword research process. By using ChatGPT and your other tools together, you can find new ways to make your website show up better on search engines.

What is a keyword cluster, and why is it better than targeting one keyword?

A keyword cluster is a group of related search terms that all connect to one main topic. Instead of writing one page for one keyword, you plan a set of pages that cover the topic from different angles.

This helps SEO because Google can see you cover the full subject, not just one phrase. It also makes it easier to build internal links between posts, which can boost rankings.

Keyword clusters are also great for planning your content calendar. You can map each group to one blog post, then link them back to a main guide or “pillar” page.

What ChatGPT prompt should I use to make a keyword cluster (and how can I improve the results)?

Use this simple prompt: “Create a keyword cluster for the parent keyword: [TOPIC]. Cluster the keywords into groups based on their relevance.” Then replace [TOPIC] with your main keyword, like “photography” or “meal prep.”

To get better results, ask for more structure. For example, request 5 to 8 groups, and ask for 8 to 15 keywords per group. You can also ask ChatGPT to include “beginner” and “advanced” terms so you get ideas for all skill levels.

If the cluster feels too broad, narrow the topic. Instead of “fitness,” try “strength training for beginners” or “home workouts with dumbbells.”

After you get the list, quickly remove anything that does not fit your audience. A tighter cluster is easier to write and easier to rank for.

How do I know if ChatGPT keywords are worth targeting?

ChatGPT is great for ideas, but it does not confirm search volume or ranking difficulty. You still need to validate the keywords with a keyword tool before you spend time writing.

A fast workflow is to copy the cluster into a research tool and check which terms have real demand. Look for keywords that match your audience’s intent, not just big numbers.

Also watch for keywords that are too similar. If two keywords mean the same thing, you may want one page instead of two.

You can validate ideas quickly using RightBlogger’s keyword research tool, then keep the best terms from each group.

What should I do after I create a keyword cluster?

After you have a cluster, turn each group into a short content plan. Pick one main “pillar” page for the parent keyword, then create supporting posts for the subtopics.

Next, decide what each post should cover. Use questions people ask to shape headings, FAQs, and examples, so your content matches real searches.

Then build internal links on purpose. Link supporting posts back to the pillar page, and link between related posts in the same cluster.

If you need quick topic angles and question ideas, RightBlogger’s PAA questions tool can help you find common questions to include.

Can RightBlogger help me build keyword clusters faster than doing it in ChatGPT?

Yes. RightBlogger can create keyword clusters for you, so you do not have to copy prompts, clean up lists, or organize groups by hand.

This is helpful when you are building a content plan for a whole site or trying to cover a niche with many related posts. You can generate clusters quickly, then move straight into outlining and writing.

A good workflow is to generate the cluster, pick the best groups, then write content from that plan. This keeps your site focused and makes internal linking easier.
