Oneâ€‘Shot Prompt Template: EU Eâ€‘Commerce Topical Map (Machineâ€‘Readable)

Generate a production-ready, localized JSON topical map for EU e-commerce focused on transactional intent and monetization.

What You'll Get

A single-shot prompt you can paste into a chat assistant to produce a validated JSON topical map for EU e-commerce.

Production-ready fields per page: localized titles, SEO title (â‰¤60 chars), meta description (â‰¤155 chars), canonical/hreflang hints, URL slug, schema suggestion, structured conversion snippets, primary CTA, conversion priority, internal links, and constraint notes.

Internal-link graph prioritized for purchases to guide CMS templates and content teams.

Guidance-ready output that authors and engineers can ingest with minimal manual editing.

How to Use

1Collect required inputs: niche/category, ICP summary (country-level differences), target EU countries (ISO codes), seed keywords (use only these), monetization goals, 2-3 competitors, and constraints (pricing, shipping, legal).

2Paste the prompt into your conversational AI session and replace the placeholders with your inputs; request JSON-only output.

3Validate the generated JSON against your CMS/schema rules, adapt localized copy for legal nuances, and import pages into your content pipeline.

4Use the internal_link_graph to populate site navigation and contextual CTAs prioritized for conversions.

Keep seed keywords limited and precise

Use only the seed keywords you want the model to expand from. Limit to high-intent transactional seeds to avoid informational drift. Explicitly list country-level constraints to ensure compliant localization.

Prompt Template


# Goal
Generate a single-shot, machine-readable topical map (JSON only) for an EU-focused eâ€‘commerce site optimized for transactional intent and monetization (direct sales, affiliates, ads). Output must include clusters â†’ pillar/support pages â†’ product/detail + buying-guides â†’ intent tags â†’ SEO title + meta description + canonical/hreflang hint + URL slug â†’ schema type suggestion â†’ primary CTA and conversion priority â†’ internal-link graph prioritized for purchases.

## Inputs
- Niche / category: {{niche_category}}  
- ICP summary (country-level differences, buying behavior): {{icp_summary}}  
- Target EU countries (list of ISO 2-letter codes or language-country codes): {{target_countries}}  
- Seed keywords (comma-separated list): {{seed_keywords}}  
- Monetization goals (e.g., direct_sales, affiliates, display_ads): {{monetization_goals}}  
- Competitors (2-3 domain names): {{competitors}}  
- Constraints (pricing limits, shipping rules, legal restrictions per country): {{constraints}}

## Prompt
You are an SEO content architect. Using only the Inputs provided, produce a single JSON object (output JSON only; no explanatory text) that is a production-ready topical map optimized for transactional intent and monetization across the specified EU countries.

Requirements and rules (obey exactly):
- Use the provided {{seed_keywords}} as the exclusive seed vocabulary for topic generation; do not invent additional seed keywords.
- Localize titles/metas/hreflang hints per each country in {{target_countries}} and reflect country-specific legal/shipping constraints from {{constraints}} in page notes and schema suggestions.
- Prioritize purchase funnel flow: category/pillar â†’ buying guide â†’ product/detail â†’ checkout CTA. Internal-link graph must favor edges that increase conversion probability.
- Respect {{icp_summary}} when assigning intent tags and conversion priorities.
- Reflect monetization goals in CTA and conversion_priority fields based on {{monetization_goals}}.
- Do not invent or assert factual competitor data about {{competitors}}; only use competitor names as context for differentiation.
- SEO copy constraints: SEO title max 60 characters; meta description max 155 characters. URL slugs must be lowercase, hyphenated, and â‰¤5 words.
- Provide explicit schema type suggestions from this whitelist only: Product, Offer, FAQPage, BreadcrumbList, HowTo, Article, WebPage, LocalBusiness.
- Output must be valid JSON; arrays and objects must be used exactly as specified in the Output Format section below.

Produce the topical map that includes:
- Clusters with priority scores (1-5, 1 highest); each cluster includes pillar/support pages and product/detail and buying guides.
- For every page: page_type, title (localized per country where relevant), intent_tags (transactional, commercial_investigation, informational), seo_title, meta_description, url_slug, canonical (base URL placeholder: https://www.example.com/{{niche_category_slug}}), hreflang array (one entry per {{target_countries}} with language-country code and localized URL), schema_type_suggestion, structured_snippet of 3 conversion-focused bullet points, primary_cta, conversion_priority (1-5, 1 highest), and internal_links (targets with anchor_text and priority).
- A top-level internal_link_graph array of directed edges: {source_slug, target_slug, anchor_text, priority} prioritized to boost purchases.
- A short notes field per page capturing any legal/shipping/pricing constraints applied from {{constraints}}.
- Ensure all text fields are machine-safe (no newlines inside JSON strings beyond escaped characters).

Use the following canonical base URL pattern for pages:
https://www.example.com/{{niche_category_slug}}/<url_slug>

Generate the JSON now.

## Output Format
The LLM must return a single JSON object matching this exact schema and key names:

{
  "niche_category": string,
  "niche_category_slug": string,
  "target_countries": [ string ],
  "seed_keywords": [ string ],
  "monetization_goals": [ string ],
  "competitors": [ string ],
  "constraints": [ string ],
  "topical_map": [
    {
      "cluster_id": string,
      "cluster_topic": string,
      "priority": integer,                       // 1 (highest) to 5 (lowest)
      "pages": [
        {
          "page_id": string,
          "page_type": "pillar" | "category" | "product" | "buying_guide" | "support",
          "title_localized": [                    // one object per country

          ],
          "intent_tags": [ string ],              // e.g., ["transactional"]
          "seo_title": string,                    // <=60 chars
          "meta_description": string,             // <=155 chars

          "hreflang": [                           // one entry per target country
            { "hreflang": string, "url": string }
          ],
          "schema_type_suggestion": string,       // from whitelist
          "structured_snippet": [ string, string, string ], // 3 conversion bullets
          "primary_cta": string,                  // e.g., "Buy now", "Compare prices"
          "conversion_priority": integer,         // 1 highest to 5 lowest
          "internal_links": [                     // prioritized links from this page
            { "target_page_id": string, "anchor_text": string, "priority": integer }
          ],
          "notes_constraints": string             // concise mention of shipping/pricing/legal
        }
      ]
    }
  ],
  "internal_link_graph": [
    {
      "source_slug": string,
      "target_slug": string,
      "anchor_text": string,
      "priority": integer
    }
  ]
}

Strict formatting constraints:
- All fields must be present even if empty arrays.
- Use integers for priority fields.
- Use only the provided schema_type whitelist.
- The root fields must reflect the Inputs provided earlier.
- JSON only. No extra keys at root level.

## Guardrails
- Do not output explanatory text, checklists, or analysisâ€”JSON only.
- Do not invent new seed keywords or country lists.
- Keep SEO title â‰¤60 characters and meta description â‰¤155 characters; if exceeding, truncate to fit while preserving meaning.
- Use safe, neutral language; do not include promotional claims that could be legally sensitive.
- Hreflang entries must use valid language-country codes (e.g., en-IE, fr-FR) corresponding to {{target_countries}} input format.
- URL slugs must not contain stopwords beyond 5 words; remove extraneous adjectives if needed to meet the â‰¤5 words rule.
- If a legal constraint blocks a product in a country, include the page but set conversion_priority to 5 and note restriction in notes_constraints.
