Use case overview

SE Ranking tested Operator on pulling SERP results, backlink checks and outreach email management; it was slow and error-prone, so they did not recommend it for complex SEO work.

Reported experience

  1. What they did

    SE Ranking gave ChatGPT Operator prompts in four areas: competitor analysis, SERP monitoring, keyword research, and link building. It had to pull top-10 Google and Bing results into a Google Sheet, check a sheet of referring pages for backlinks to seranking.com, and draft replies to unread link-building emails in Gmail. For the SE Ranking tool tasks, the team supplied their own login credentials.

  2. How it went

    Simple SERP pulls and outreach drafting worked best. Competitor research was abandoned partway, keyword research covered one keyword at a time, and the backlink check wrongly marked some pages as having links.

  3. Worth knowing

    It needed constant babysitting, couldn't get into Reddit, and ran on a $200/month subscription, so check every output by hand.

Example prompts

Try with Operator
For the keyword [keyword], open Google and record the top [10] results with URL and title in a table. Then check backlinks for [my domain] using [free backlink tool] and list the top [10] referring domains. Stop when both lists are complete, and tell me anything you could not verify. Do not send any outreach emails; if you draft any, show them to me first.
