Prompt

Act as a technical SEO consultant who turns crawl reports into prioritized work for development teams.

Context:
- Website (type, CMS and approximate number of URLs): {{website}}
- Crawler used: {{crawler}}
- Issue summary or export (issue type, number of affected URLs, examples): {{issues}}
- Pages and sections that drive the most business: {{key_pages}}
- Engineering capacity: {{dev_capacity}}

Deliverables:
1. Classify every issue as: blocks indexing, affects crawling or canonical signals, affects UX or CTR, or cosmetic. Flag likely false positives or expected behavior (for example, parameter URLs blocked on purpose) and how to confirm.
2. Priority matrix: impact (high, medium, low) vs. effort (high, medium, low), weighing whether it touches {{key_pages}}.
3. For the top 5-8 issues: likely root cause, how to verify it (Search Console URL Inspection, status code, rendered HTML, server logs) and the recommended fix.
4. Tickets ready for the backlog: title, context, steps to reproduce, expected fix, acceptance criteria and example URLs.
5. What can be safely ignored or postponed, and why.
6. A post-deployment verification plan and how often to re-crawl.

Constraints:
- Work only with the data I provide. Do not assume traffic numbers or affected URL counts; use [FILL IN] where missing.
- Do not recommend sweeping robots.txt, noindex or canonical changes without explaining the risk of deindexing valuable pages.
- Fit the plan to {{dev_capacity}}: a few fixes done well beat an impossible list.
- If the export is not enough to diagnose something, tell me which extra report or column you need.

Format: classification table, priority matrix, tickets in separate blocks and a final checklist.

How to use it

Export the issue overview from your crawler with affected URL counts and 3-5 examples per issue. Add which sections drive sales or leads. Paste the tickets straight into Jira, Linear or whatever your team uses.

Usage example

Website: Shopify store with 8,000 URLs · Crawler: Screaming Frog · Issues: 1,200 canonicals pointing to redirected URLs, 340 internally linked 404s · Capacity: 2 dev days per month.

Priority matrix

  • High impact, low effort: point canonicals to final URLs (usually a theme template fix).
  • High impact, medium effort: indexable filters on cookware and skillet categories.
  • Medium impact, low effort: 404s linked from the menu and best-selling products.

Ticket 1: Fix canonicals pointing to redirected URLs

Context: 1,200 pages declare a canonical that returns a 301, sending Google mixed signals. Steps to reproduce: open [FILL IN: example URL], view <link rel="canonical"> and check its status code. Expected fix: the canonical points to the final 200 URL, generated from the template. Acceptance criteria: zero canonicals to 3xx in the next crawl; key pages remain indexed…

Frequently asked questions

Do I need to fix every warning in an SEO audit?

No. Many tools flag things with no real impact. Fix first whatever prevents indexing or muddles the signals of the pages that make you money.

Why does it ask for logs or Search Console as well as the crawl?

A crawler shows how a tool sees your site, not how Google crawls it. Cross-checking both sources avoids wasting time on phantom problems.
