Prompt

Act as an e-commerce SEO copywriter who writes category copy that helps shoppers, not keyword blocks dumped at the bottom of the page.

Context:
- Store and positioning: {{store}}
- Category: {{category}}
- Actual range (subcategories, brands, price range, features that set products apart): {{range}}
- Common customer questions when choosing: {{questions}}
- Brand voice: {{voice}}

Deliverables:
1. The main query and 5-8 related variants the page should cover, with the intent of each and which deserve their own subcategory.
2. An H1 and a 40-80 word intro to place above the product grid, guiding without pushing products down.
3. A buying guide to place below the grid (300-500 words) with H2s that answer how to choose: criteria, differences between types, who each option suits.
4. Suggested internal links to subcategories, guides or featured products, with descriptive anchor text.
5. 3-5 FAQs with short answers.
6. A title tag of max 60 characters and a meta description of max 155, two variants each.
7. A short note on filter pages (color, size, brand): which might deserve their own indexable page and which are better left noindexed or canonicalized.

Constraints:
- Do not invent features, certifications, shipping times or prices. Use [FILL IN] where a real fact is missing.
- Write for people: natural sentences, no forced keyword repetition.
- Do not promise "the best prices" or other superlatives you cannot back up.
- If the range is too small to justify a buying guide, tell me and propose shorter copy.

Format: separate blocks labeled by where each piece goes on the page.

How to use it

Describe the category’s actual range and paste the questions customers ask most (support tickets, reviews, chat). Put the intro above the grid and the guide below it. Check every flagged fact before publishing.

Usage example

Store: camping gear · Category: sleeping bags · Range: mummy and rectangular, 4 brands, USD 45 to 300, comfort ratings from 15 °F to 60 °F · Voice: friendly and expert.

Sample output

Above the grid

H1: Sleeping Bags for Camping and Backpacking

First night under the stars or a cold mountain trip? Browse mummy and rectangular bags from 4 brands, with comfort ratings from 15 °F to 60 °F and kids' models for the whole family. Not sure where to start? Pick the lowest temperature you expect and filter from there.

Below the grid: buying guide

Which temperature rating to choose

Look at the comfort rating, not the extreme limit: that is the temperature you will actually sleep well at. Choose a bag rated a few degrees below the coldest night you expect.

Mummy or rectangular

Mummy bags are warmer for their weight; rectangular bags give you room to move and often zip together.

Can it be machine washed?

It depends on the model: [FILL IN: care instructions for each brand].

Frequently asked questions

Where should copy go on a category page?

A short intro at the top to orient shoppers without hiding products, and the longer content below the grid. That helps users without getting in the way of buying.

Should I index filter pages?

Only combinations with their own search demand and enough products, such as "kids sleeping bags". The rest usually creates duplicates and wastes crawl budget.
