Hands-On LLM Prompt Engineering for Google Search Console

Prompt engineering in an SEO context

Prompt engineering for Large Language Models (LLMs) means crafting inputs that guide AI to generate targeted, high-value content. In SEO, this practice helps you rank for competitive keywords, improve click-through rates, and satisfy search intent—all by speaking “AI’s language.” Key Components - Audience Intent: Identify what your user really wants (informational, transactional, navigational). - Keyword Integration: Seamlessly embed primary and related terms. - Tone & Format: Specify style (e.g., “write an FAQ,” “create a comparison table”).

Google Search Console Features

Google Search Console (GSC) is a free tool from Google that helps website owners understand and improve how their site appears in Google Search. Think of it as a “health dashboard” for your website’s search presence. Here are some key features of GSC.

FeatureWhat It Does
Performance ReportTracks clicks, impressions, CTR, average position.
Coverage ReportShows which pages are indexed & flags errors.
URL Inspection ToolLets you test how Googlebot sees a specific URL.
SitemapsSubmit your sitemap so Google finds new pages.
Enhancements PanelReports on mobile usability, AMP, breadcrumbs, etc.

The basic workflow of using GSC is

  1. Verify ownership, which normally happens by adding DNS records in your Name server.
  2. Submit your sitemap (make sure your site has a valid robots.txt as well)
  3. Wait for a day or two until Google Crawls and indexes your pages
  4. After indexing is done, go to the pages section and look for any errors or issues
  5. Monitor performance: Page, Queries, and Keywords
  6. Improve your site performance by optimizing your content, adding more SEO optimized content, and improving page speed

Using AI to improve Google Search Console Performance

Imagine a consultant who’s read every SEO playbook ever written—LLMs internalize that collective wisdom.

At first glance, a Large Language Model (LLM) might seem like “just text in, text out.” But under the hood, it’s much more—here’s why it’s well-suited to SEO tasks:

  • Broad Exposure: LLMs are trained on trillions of words from blogs, forums, news sites, and yes, SEO guides.
  • Learned Best Practices: They’ve “seen” meta-tag recommendations, header hierarchies, keyword placement examples, and quality-content patterns.
  • Up-to-Date Patterns: Modern LLMs absorb evolving SEO trends, like E-A-T (Expertise-Authority-Trust) and Core Web Vitals advice.
  • Synonym & Intent Mapping: LLMs know that “cheap running shoes” ≈ “budget athletic footwear.”
  •  Context Awareness: They can suggest you target “best vegan protein” not just by raw volume, but by your audience’s intent (e.g., recipes vs. supplement reviews).
  • Trend Detection: It can call out “Your ‘how to’ guides have 30% lower CTR than ‘top 10’ lists—consider reformatting.”
  • Actionable Insights: Translates numbers into tasks (“shorten title tags to ≤60 chars,” “add FAQ schema for how-to pages”). 

The GSC Insights Pipeline: A Quick Overview

Instead of manually exporting Google Search Console and feeding it to the LLM's prompt, having a pipeline can save you a lot of time and is scalable.

This pipeline automates pulling Google Search Console (GSC) performance metrics—keywords, impressions, clicks, CTR, average position—and feeds them into a Large Language Model (LLM) for in-depth analysis. The output? Actionable SEO insights tailored to boost your site’s visibility.
