Built from “How
to use ChatGPT Astra for SEO so well it feels illegal” by Sarvesh Shrivastava (4 September 2026).
The system is his; the twelve prompts are worth running. The corrections are ours and each one is
checkable:
Google’s
own note on how local results are ranked (relevance, distance, prominence; reviews and ratings
— not replies — are what it names);
a
controlled study of geotagged photos finding no ranking benefit, alongside Google stripping EXIF
on upload; the 42%/35% photo figures tracing to a 2014 Google/Oxera study since removed from
Google’s documentation; the end of the seven-day expiry on “what’s new” posts;
and Google’s
spam policies, where doorway pages still sit.
The prompt count was checked by reading the article end to end.
