I CAN OUTRANK YOUR LOCAL BUSINESS IN 60 DAYS WITH JUST CLAUDE COWORK.
Here's how I would do it;
1. I’d first make Claude understand my business and competitors
“Open Chrome, visit my site {{MY_WEBSITE_URL}} and extract my business name, address, services, cities served and key selling points, then open these competitors {{COMP1}}, {{COMP2}}, {{COMP3}} and extract their services, target locations, strengths and trust signals, compare me vs them.”
2. I’d get Claude Cowork to analyze the competition’s weaknesses.
"Scan these sites. What are these comeptitors sites missing? Find the content gaps and tell me 5 topics I should cover to be more helpful than them."
If you provide more value, you win the #1 spot. Period.
3. I’d use Claude Cowork to dominate the Google Business Profile (GBP) feed.
"Analyze these [XYZ. com] competitor GBP posts by opening their GBP in Chrome. Identify their keyword gaps, then write 10 high-impact posts for my business in [City] that include local landmarks and a hard 'Call Now' CTA.”
Cowork does the heavy lifting while I take the #1 spot.
4. I’d get Claude Cowork to identify "Low-Hanging Fruit" keywords.
"List 20 high-intent local keywords for a [Service] in [City] that indicate a customer is ready to buy NOW."
Instantly, I have a list of "near me" and "emergency" keywords that actually convert.
5. Get Claude Cowork to do a full Schema audit
“In chrome, open {{PASTE_URL}}. Check page source and list all schema. Say if LocalBusiness exists and if it’s useful. Output: (1) existing schema + verdict, (2) missing/weak schema + priority. For HIGH priority only, generate clean JSON-LD with placeholders. No guessing. No explanations. Be blunt.”
6. I’d get Claude Cowork to do all the keyword research for me.
"Open Chrome, go to ahrefs and analyze my competitor XYZ. com’s top 20 pages, extract their target keywords, search volumes, and give me a prioritized list with difficulty scores in a spreadsheet."
Done in 10 minutes. Not 10 hours.
Local SEO is all about using the right leverage.
I use these advanced AI workflows to get results that used to take 12 months in just 90 days.
totally blown away by what Claude just pulled off for my SEO.
I let Claude Cowork run my entire SEO for 30 days.

Copy the EXACT prompt stack I used below:
1. I had Claude Cowork isolate the exact ranking levers
“Based ONLY on the observed top-ranking competitors, list the top 7 ranking levers Google appears to reward for this keyword. Rank them by impact on map rankings (highest to lowest). For each lever, cite which competitors demonstrate it and how. Do not give generic SEO advice or recommendations. Output strictly as a table with columns: Lever, Evidence from competitors, Why it matters for this keyword.”
2. I had Claude Cowork analyze competitor reviews and keyword signals
“Open Chrome and analyze the Google Business Profile reviews of these competitors: {{COMP1}}, {{COMP2}}, {{COMP3}}. Identify review volume, velocity, recency, star distribution, reviewer language, and recurring keywords related to services, locations, problems, and outcomes. Note how keywords appear organically in reviews and owner replies. Based on this analysis, create a clear, non-generic review acquisition and response framework that specifies keyword themes to reinforce, review pacing targets, and reply patterns. Avoid vague advice. Make it directly actionable.”
Alright - here's my most powerful Claude prompt for SEO ever.
Plug this into the Cowork Opus 4.6 model and you'll get the same system most SEO agencies charge $10k/month for.
Takes <10 minutes: (Save for later)
1. Ask Claude Cowork to do a competitor review teardown
"Open Chrome and go to these competitor GBP listings: [URL1], [URL2], [URL3]. For each competitor, read their last 50 reviews. Extract: total review count, average rating, how many reviews in the last 30/60/90 days, the most mentioned services in reviews, the most mentioned neighborhoods or cities, and any recurring complaints.
Then compare their review velocity to mine at [my GBP URL]. Output a spreadsheet with all this data and a separate tab that says exactly how many reviews per month I need to catch the top competitor and how long it will take.”
2. Ask Claude Cowork to do a Service Area Page Gap Analysis
"Open Chrome and crawl my website [URL] and these competitor sites: [URL1], [URL2], [URL3]. List every service+location landing page each site has. Put it in a spreadsheet. Columns: service type, city/neighborhood, my site (yes/no), competitor 1 (yes/no), competitor 2 (yes/no), competitor 3 (yes/no). Highlight every combo where competitors have a page and I don't.
Then for my top 10 missing pages, open Google and search that keyword. Note who's ranking in the top 5 and what their page covers. I need to know what to build and what to beat.”

STEAL the exact prompt stack I used:
1. Ask Claude Cowork to do a competitor review teardown
"Open Chrome and go to these competitor GBP listings: [URL1], [URL2], [URL3]. For each competitor, read their last 50 reviews. Extract: total review count, average rating, how many reviews in the last 30/60/90 days, the most mentioned services in reviews, the most mentioned neighborhoods or cities, and any recurring complaints.
Then compare their review velocity to mine at [my GBP URL]. Output a spreadsheet with all this data and a separate tab that says exactly how many reviews per month I need to catch the top competitor and how long it will take.”
2. Ask Claude Cowork to do a GBP Category Audit
"Open Chrome and go to Google Maps. Search '[service] in [city]' for these 3 keywords: [keyword1], [keyword2], [keyword3]. For each search, note which of my competitors show up in the Map Pack. Then open each competitor's GBP listing and extract their primary category and all secondary categories. Put everything in a spreadsheet.
One tab per keyword. Columns: business name, primary category, secondary categories, star rating, review count, ranking position. Highlight any categories my competitors have that I'm missing from my GBP.”
It does SEO better than most agencies charging $10k/month.
These 7 prompts compressed my entire SEO workflow from 20 hours to 45 minutes:
1. GBP Category Audit
"Here are my 3 competitors' GBP categories that I pulled: [paste them]. My current primary category is [X] and my secondary categories are [X, X, X]. Tell me what categories I'm missing, which ones to add, and rank them by impact on local search visibility."
2. Service Area Page Gap Analysis
"Here are all the service + location pages on my site: [paste URLs or list]. Here are the service + location pages from 3 competitors: [paste or list]. Compare them. Show me every service + city combo they have pages for that I don't. Sort by priority -combos where multiple competitors have pages and I have nothing go first. That's my content roadmap."
