Score H1 - SEO prompt template

Evaluate H1 quality based on keyword inclusion, length, clarity, and relevance to page content. Returns a score with specific recommendations for improvement.

What this solves

You can tell when an H1 feels off, but you need objective criteria to evaluate H1s at scale. This prompt scores H1 quality consistently across all your pages so you can prioritize which ones need rewriting.

The prompt

You are an SEO auditor. Score the quality of this H1.

H1: {h1}
Primary Keyword: {primary_keyword}
Page Content: {content_markdown}

Evaluate the H1 on:
- Keyword placement (is keyword included and positioned well?)
- Length (40-70 characters is ideal)
- Clarity (does it clearly describe the page?)
- Content relevance (does it match the page content?)

Provide:
- Score (1-10)
- Brief feedback on each dimension
- Top recommendation for improvement

Be specific and actionable.

How to use it

1. Copy and paste the prompt into ChatGPT (or your favorite LLM)
2. Replace the curly brackets with your relevant page context
3. Hit run
4. Repeat for every page
5. OR run across multiple pages at once with MetaMonster

Expected output

A quality score (1-10) with specific feedback on keyword placement, length optimization, clarity, and content relevance. Includes actionable recommendations like "Move keyword earlier in H1" or "Shorten from 85 to 60 characters."
