Act as a senior web copywriter specialized in content architecture. I am writing an article on the following topic: [TOPIC]. My target audience is [AUDIENCE]. The desired tone is [TONE: professional / conversational / educational]. Generate a list of 8 to 12 subtitles (H2 and H3) to structure this article logically and engagingly. For each subtitle, meet these criteria: (1) naturally include a secondary keyword related to the main topic, (2) do not exceed 70 characters, (3) alternate between informative and curiosity-driven subtitles, (4) follow a logical progression from general to specific. Rely on the best-ranked content currently available on this topic to identify angles covered by competitors. Present the result as a hierarchical outline with nested H2 and H3, and add a one-sentence note under each subtitle explaining what the section will cover.

Why this prompt works
This prompt leverages Perplexity's distinctive strength — access to real-time web sources — to analyze competitor content and derive subtitles aligned with actual search intent. The constrained structure (character count, alternating formats, logical progression) forces the tool to produce directly usable results rather than generic suggestions. Adding an explanatory note under each subtitle ensures overall editorial consistency and facilitates subsequent writing.

Expected Output
You will receive a complete hierarchical outline with 8 to 12 subtitles organized into H2 and H3, each accompanied by a brief description of its content. The subtitles will naturally incorporate relevant keywords identified from current sources and follow a clear narrative progression. The result is directly usable as an article skeleton, ready to be developed section by section.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why use Perplexity instead of ChatGPT for writing subheadings?
Perplexity accesses real-time web data and cites its sources, enabling it to generate subheadings aligned with current search trends and real competitor content online. Unlike ChatGPT, which relies on static knowledge, Perplexity can analyze what is working right now in search results and adapt its suggestions accordingly. This results in subheadings that are more relevant for SEO and better calibrated against existing content.
How many subheadings should you plan for a well-structured article?
The general rule is to plan one H2 subheading every 200 to 300 words. For a 1500-word article, aim for 5 to 7 H2s. For a long-form article of 3000 words or more, plan for 8 to 12 H2s with nested H3s. The key is that each subheading introduces a distinct idea and contributes to a logical progression. Perplexity can help you calibrate this number by analyzing the structure of top-ranking competitor articles on your topic.
How do you optimize subheadings generated by Perplexity for SEO?
After getting your subheadings from Perplexity, check three key points: each H2 contains a secondary keyword naturally placed near the beginning of the sentence if possible, the length stays under 70 characters for optimal display in rich results, and at least one subheading rephrases a frequently asked question by internet users (question format). You can ask Perplexity to rewrite the subheadings by integrating specific keywords you have identified through a tool like Google Search Console or Semrush.
