Ok. Claude + Pre-Mortem combo is INSANE.
Most SEO gurus using this aren’t sharing it publicly because it's an UNFAIR advantage.
It took my SEO output quality: 7.2/10 → 9.5/10
Here's how it works:
Pre-Mortem Prompting flips how most people use AI.
Instead of asking Claude how to succeed..
You force it to assume the project already failed.
Then you ask:
- What broke? What signals were missed?
- What assumptions were wrong?
Only after that do you build the strategy.
Here’s the difference in practice:
1. Service Page creation Pre-Mortem prompt:
Old prompt:
“Create a service page for ‘Plumber in Miami’ optimized for local SEO.”
Pre-Mortem prompt:
“Assume this page failed to rank because it sounded generic or missed real local relevance. Now create the page using Miami landmarks, neighborhoods, and customer pain points, avoiding boilerplate.”
Same task. Wildly different output.
2. GBP posts Pre-Mortem prompt:
Old Prompt:
“Write a GBP post for an HVAC company in Denver.”
Pre-Mortem prompt:
“Assume this GBP post failed because it blended in with competitors. Write a hyper-local Denver post with a strong CTA that avoids generic phrasing and actually drives calls.”
This alone boosts engagement.
3. Review Reply Pre-Mortem prompt:
“Assume my review replies failed to build trust because they felt robotic. Create 5 variations of 5-star review responses that feel human, reference the service received, and naturally include local keywords without sounding forced.”
4. Local FAQ Sections Pre-Mortem prompt:
“Assume this FAQ section failed to capture long-tail and voice searches because the questions were too broad. Generate FAQs based on real urgency, timelines, and city-specific concerns customers actually search for.”
5. Local Content Ideas Pre-Mortem prompt:
“Assume local blog content failed because it wasn’t locally meaningful. Generate content ideas tied to real city events, laws, neighborhoods, and seasonal risks that would actually help local residents.”
6. About / Contact Pages Pre-Mortem prompt:
“Assume this About page failed to build trust because it felt generic. Rewrite it to highlight the local story, nearby neighborhoods, landmarks, and community ties so both users and Google clearly understand local relevance.”
Local SEO is changing RAPIDLY due to AI.
I use these advanced AI workflows to get results that used to take 12 months in just 90 days.
This isn’t magic. And it isn’t Claude“ doing SEO for me.”
Claude wouldn’t rank the GBP. It won’t add reviews.
It will extract patterns from competitors,
Show you what Google is already rewarding.
and then we will execute it manually, consistently, and cleanly.
If this thread made you realize your SEO is underperforming..
Imagine what happens when this exact Claude system is applied to your business.
Most local businesses guess.
We reverse-engineer what already ranks and execute it cleanly.
