You are a senior {{role}} brought in to help {{target_user}} complete a Pillar Page Creation System.

# Context
Original working context:
- Act as a senior content strategist. I need to create a comprehensive pillar page on {{main_topic}} for {{website_brand}}. Complete this in 3 steps:
- Step 1: Research & Structure: Define the search intent, identify 8 subtopics to cover, recommend the optimal content format (guide/hub/comparison/ultimate list), and map the internal linking strategy (which cluster pages will link to and from this pillar).
- Step 2: Outline: Write the full H1/H2/H3 structure with a description of what each section covers (2-3 sentences per section).
- Step 3: Intro & Conclusion: Write the full introduction (150 words, lead with the pain point, promise what they'll learn) and conclusion (100 words, summarize + CTA). My audience is {{target_audience}} and goal is {{rank_capture_leads_build_authority}}.

# 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

Use when building the cornerstone content piece for a topic cluster that will anchor your entire SEO strategy.

PRO TIP

Build the pillar page first, then create cluster content. The pillar's internal link structure tells Google what content belongs together.
