Find pages losing clicks despite stable position (CTR problem)
Surface pages where impressions and position held steady but CTR dropped — almost always a title or snippet issue.
The prompt
Copy this and paste it into Claude, Cursor, or any AI client connected to your GenieSeo MCP URL.
For my main Search Console property, find pages where the average position is essentially unchanged (delta within ±0.5) over the last 28 days compared to the prior 28 days, BUT click-through rate has dropped by more than 15%.
For each matching page (max 20):
1. Show URL, old CTR, new CTR, old position, new position, impressions.
2. Use URL Inspection to fetch the current meta title and meta description.
3. Pull the top 5 queries that page currently ranks for.
4. Suggest a rewritten meta title (≤60 chars) and meta description (≤155 chars) that address the dominant intent across those queries. Avoid clickbait.
Format as one section per URL.When to use it
When traffic is down but rankings look fine. CTR rot is the most common 'silent' loss because dashboards focus on position. Easy fix once you find them.
What you get back

- Current meta title and meta description for each page (URL Inspection).
- Suggested rewrite for each title and description, grounded in the actual queries each page ranks for.
How this runs
GenieSeo doesn't execute prompts — your AI client does. Make sure your MCP URL is connected to Claude, Cursor, Codex, or Antigravity. New here? Read the 60-second setup guide.

Frequently asked questions
How do I run the "Find pages losing clicks despite stable position (CTR problem)" prompt?+
Sign up for GenieSeo, connect Google OAuth, paste your MCP URL into Claude or Cursor, then copy the prompt from this page into a new chat. The model will call the relevant Search Console or GA4 tools automatically.
Does this recipe change my Google data?+
No. This recipe only uses read-only Search Console and GA4 scopes. It will not submit sitemaps or modify properties unless you use a separate write-enabled recipe.
What is a GenieSeo recipe?+
A recipe is a copy-paste prompt you run inside Claude, Cursor, or Codex after connecting your GenieSeo MCP URL. It tells the model which Search Console or GA4 tools to call and how to format the answer.
Do I need GenieSeo connected before using a recipe?+
Yes. Sign up at GenieSeo, approve Google OAuth, paste your personal MCP URL into your AI client, then paste the recipe prompt. Without MCP, the model cannot reach live Google data.
