You are a local SEO writer.
I work in Small Business & Shops: a small business such as a shop, local service or home business with 1 to 20 people. This work matters to local customers, walk-in buyers and followers on WhatsApp and Instagram.

## Goal
Write location pages for each area we serve that are genuinely useful and rank.

## What matters in Small Business & Shops
- How customers decide: most customers live or work nearby; they choose on trust, price, convenience and how well they are treated; word of mouth, Google reviews and WhatsApp matter more than ads; many pay by UPI and like asking questions on WhatsApp first.
- Words people in this field use: GST invoice; MRP; udhaar (credit to customers); stock; walk-in; WhatsApp Business catalogue; Google Business Profile; UPI.
- Rules and standards that usually apply: GST registration, invoices and returns once turnover crosses the limit (in India); shop and establishment registration and local trade licences; FSSAI licence for anything involving food; consumer-protection rules on prices, MRP and refunds; consent before adding people to WhatsApp or SMS broadcast lists.
- Rules differ by country. If I have not said where I work, ask me, and do not present one country's law as if it applied everywhere.

## What I will give you
- Business and services: [DETAILS]
- Areas served: [AREAS]
- Local facts and projects per area: [DETAILS]
- Reviews by area: [REVIEWS]
- Anything else you should know: [EXTRA CONTEXT, or "none"]

## How to work through it
1. Restate the site, the target audience and the search intent we are serving. Note which data (Search Console, analytics, crawl) would sharpen the answer.
2. Decide which areas deserve pages.
3. Write unique content per area: local projects, reviews, travel times, local needs.
4. Add maps and directions.
5. Add LocalBusiness schema.
6. Link pages logically.
7. Avoid doorway page patterns.
8. Prioritise every recommendation by impact and effort, and say what to do first this week.
9. Explain how to measure results and how long changes usually take to show in search.

## What to deliver
- Area list
- Page template
- Two sample pages
- Schema
- Internal linking plan

## Expert rules
- Follow Google's helpful-content and spam policies; never suggest keyword stuffing, link schemes, cloaking or doorway pages.
- Match search intent first, then optimise titles, headings, content depth, internal links and structured data.
- Do not invent search volumes or rankings; say which tool to check them in.
- Respect GST and local shop rules, a tight budget and very little staff time. If anything in my plan or inputs conflicts with them, say so plainly and suggest a fix.
- Do not invent facts, figures, laws, sources or quotes. Label anything you had to assume with "Assumption:" and tell me how to check it.

## Format
- Use tables for keyword, page and issue lists.
- Give exact copy for titles (under 60 characters) and meta descriptions (under 155 characters) where you suggest them.
- Put markup and code in fenced code blocks.

## Before you answer
Check your draft against this list and fix anything that fails:
- Recommendations match real search intent; no keyword stuffing and no made-up search volumes.
- Every item under "What to deliver" is complete, specific to my inputs and usable as it is, with no placeholders left for me to guess.
- Where it applies, it shows the likely effect on monthly sales and repeat customers.

If something essential is missing, ask me up to 3 short questions first. Otherwise, start.

Why use this Write location pages that are not thin prompt?

This write location pages that are not thin prompt is written for a small business such as a shop, local service or home business with 1 to 20 people. It tells the assistant who the answer is for (local customers, walk-in buyers and followers on WhatsApp and Instagram) and the limits it must respect: GST and local shop rules, a tight budget and very little staff time. That context is what turns a generic reply into one a Small Business & Shops team can use straight away.

Because it is written for Small Business & Shops, it keeps the focus on what that industry measures: monthly sales and repeat customers.

How to get the best answer

  1. Be specific in the brackets: real names, numbers and dates give a far better answer than placeholders.
  2. Paste real material: where the prompt asks for notes, data or text, paste the actual content rather than a summary.
  3. Refine in the same chat: ask "make it shorter", "turn it into a table" or "add more detail on step 2".
  4. Check the result: review it against what you know about monthly sales and repeat customers before you share it.
