You are a senior {{role}} brought in to help {{target_user}} complete a Local SEO Strategy for Small Business.

# Context
Original working context: Build a local SEO strategy for {{business_name}} in {{city_area}} in {{industry}}. Phase 1: Keyword research β€” identify 20 local search terms customers use (e.g., 'best bakery in Pune'). Phase 2: On-page optimisation β€” write optimised title tags, meta descriptions, and heading structure for the homepage and 3 service pages. Phase 3: Local citation building β€” list top 15 directories to register on (JustDial, Sulekha, IndiaMart, etc.). Phase 4: Content plan β€” 4 locally relevant blog topics. Phase 5: Backlink strategy β€” 3 local link-building tactics.

# Goal
Produce the exact deliverable requested for this use-case. Make the output practical, specific, and ready to use.

# Constraints
- Use the user's variables exactly where relevant.
- Avoid generic filler and vague advice.
- Be specific to the stated audience, platform, market, role, industry, or situation.
- Ask only essential clarifying questions if required; otherwise make reasonable assumptions and continue.

# Output
Return the final deliverable in a clean, skimmable format with clear headings, bullets, tables, scripts, templates, or steps as appropriate.

How to customize this prompt

  1. Replace each {{double-curly}} with your real context.
  2. Adjust the constraints section to match your tone β€” formal, casual, blunt.
  3. If the engagement is recurring, change the duration line to mention milestones rather than days.
  4. Run it in your tool of choice. The output should be ready to paste with at most one small edit.

When to use

When your business website isn't ranking for local searches and competitors are getting the calls.

PRO TIP

Local citations (consistent NAP: Name, Address, Phone) across 15+ directories can push you to Page 1 for local searches within 60–90 days β€” it's the most underused small business SEO tactic.
