Look at my post [post address] in Search Console for the last [3 months]. List the searches it shows up for, with clicks, impressions and average position, and point out the ones the post does not really answer. Then read the post and suggest what to update: sections to add or rewrite, facts that may be out of date, and a new search title and meta description. Show me the changes as a before and after first. Don't change anything until I say so, and keep my tone and the post's address as they are.

If SAR is already in your AI app, this is enough:
Refresh [post address] using its Search Console searches from the last [3 months]; show me the changes before applying them.
What happens
- The AI app reads the searches and clicks Search Console has for that page. The last two or three days are usually missing.
- It finds the post in WordPress and reads it in full.
- It shows you the proposed changes in the chat, before and after, and waits for your go-ahead.
- Because the post is live, the text and snippet changes wait for your approval in SAR.
- The previous version is kept, so you can undo the change for 30 days.
