Channel Strategy

You are an expert digital marketing strategist.

Based on my objectives and my audience persona, plus any other information I provide, create a channel strategy. This will suggest the most effective digital marketing channels to reach our audience personas and objectives. Present this in table format.

The column headers are the names of suggested channel names such as ‘Facebook’, ‘LinkedIn’, ‘Email’, ‘Podcast’ et al. Consider any key digital marketing channels whether organic or paid in your suggestions.

The row headers are: ‘Audience’, ‘Core Purpose’, ‘Content Formats’, ‘KPIs’, ‘Budget’.

My objectives are [insert your objectives or refer to them in earlier chat]. My audience personas are [insert audience persona output from earlier chat]. [Insert any extra information about the business].

Content Pillars

Now suggest between 3 and 8 content pillars. These core themes will be what all of my content will cluster around, to demonstrate my depth of expertise, passion and values to both the human audience and content recommendation algorithms such as Google Search and TikTok. They should mostly be expertise-based, whilst some can also be used to show what kind of people we are, so that we may differentiate in our industry and attract a like-minded audience.

Present the content pillars in a table. The first column header is ‘Pillars’, and each row describes a pillar. The second column header is ‘Topics’. This describes the key sub-topics that comprise that pillar. These may be somewhat like what we would in SEO call keywords. Format the topics cell as a dashed un-numbered list.

The topics I know most about are:
[List the main things you know about. Don’t overthink this - fire off as many ideas as possible, ChatGPT will sort through it and make sense of it all].

The core values and passion points I want to connect with my target audience around are:
[Describe the values that underpin your business purpose, and also the main parts of your business you are most passionate about].

Bonus Prompt

You are an expert digital marketing strategist, who researches the internet before answering.

Find the one website that ranks top for ‘[keyword]’. Ignore large aggregator, social or portal websites such as Wikipedia, Reddit, TripAdvisor, Twitter, YouTube et al.

Browse the site’s content, blog, articles, or news section to work out what their core content pillars are. Provide an overview of the content that makes up each pillar. Present the pillars in a table format with the first column headed ‘Pillar’, the second column headed ‘Content Overview’, and a third column headed ‘Keywords’ in which you will speculate on the main keywords that this content appears to focus on. Offer 10 or so keywords for each pillar.

There must be between 4 and 8 pillars. If you think there are more than 8, then amalgamate similar pillars to distil the content into under 8 pillars.

Content Ideas

Go to answersocrates.com and input one of your topics. Copy the most relevant questions.

Alternatively, search for your topic on Google and copy questions from the ‘People Also Ask’ section in the search results page.

Make a list as long as you can of these questions and use the following prompt in ChatGPT:

You are an expert digital marketing copywriter that speaks and writes fluent English.

You will create a content plan comprising content ideas for blogs, videos and social media posts for a [business type] who wants to become known as an authority in [your pillar].

This content plan will make up a cluster of content pieces around the central topic of [your topic]. The content ideas must answer the following questions, which are also the search keywords we want to rank for:

[list of questions]

Optimise the content titles for search rankings based on each keyword. Many keywords will be very similar in meaning and we do not need duplicate content around the same idea. Your initial job is to work out what unique keywords there are here, and then produce ideas for them. Present the plan as a table where the first column is headed ‘Content Title’ and the second column is headed ‘focus keyword’.

Paid Media Plan

Create a plan for paid digital advertising across social, search, video and display. Base the plan on the information in this chat such as objectives, personas, channel strategy.

In the plan, which you’ll present as a table, you must first include the following information:

• Channel e.g. TikTok, Google Search et al

• Targeting e.g. demographics, interests, affinities, purchase intent (in-market audiences in Google)

• Budget

• Predicted Results - include Impressions, Clicks, Conversions, CPM, CPC, CPA, CTR

Secondly, plan specific campaigns that will reach our marketing objectives (discussed previously). In a table, show how we’ll structure those campaigns and the ad sets (or ad groups) and ads within them. Utilise multivariate testing. Describe the ad copy and creative for every single ad.

Paid Media Landing Page

Write up an outline of a landing page for my paid media campaign, describing the elements on the page, the visuals and the copy. Remember to include these five vital elements:

Clarity - Communicate one idea and one idea only about the product or service

Context - Communicate exactly how you create the value you promise

Creative - Bring your words to life by helping the customer visualise the value - images or video

Call To Action - Remind them of the value, and the ease of taking action, whilst draining objections

Credibility - Cap it off with a layer of social proof and trust signals - logos, facts, reviews etc.

Once finished, ask me if I am happy, take any feedback and once approved work through the coding of this page.

Paid Media Copywriting

You are an expert digital marketing copywriter that speaks and writes fluent, persuasive English.

Your Google Search ads constantly get a high clickthrough rate as they are attention-grabbing and perfectly attuned to the reader's needs.

Create 2 lists, each in a table format.

List 1 should contain 7 attention-grabbing Google Search ad headlines on the topic of [your keywords, comma separated]. Each ad headline should contain 30 characters max including spaces.

The column heading should say "Headlines (max. 30 characters)"

List 2 should contain 7 emotional, attention-grabbing, concise Google Search ad descriptions on the topic of [your keywords, comma separated].

Always use a call to action at the end of each description.

Each description should contain 90 characters max including spaces.

Display this list in a table format.

The column heading should say "Descriptions (max. 90 characters)"

After you have created the headline and description list.

You will list the 3 headlines (max. 30 characters) and 3 descriptions (90 characters max) that you feel work the best together.

This column heading will say "Best 3 Google Ads: My Recommendations”.

You will also give the reason as to why you think they are the best 3 headings and descriptions and what could potentially be improved.

This will be in a number list format.

Then ask me for feedback. Start by asking me if the ads could be improved, and if I say ‘yes’, ask why. Act on that feedback and then ask again. Keep asking me for feedback until I answer ‘no’ to the question of whether anything could be improved.

Execution Roadmap

You are an expert digital marketing strategist and project manager that speaks and writes fluent English.

Create an executional roadmap for a digital marketing plan based on the following information:

• Timespan of [timespan of your plan e.g. 6 months]

• Start and end dates are [start and end date of the plan’s timespan]

• Objectives are [paste your SMART objectives here]

• Marketing channels are [list the channels you will use e.g. email newsletter, Facebook]

• Campaigns I plan to run are [paste in campaign information in any format if you have it, remember ChatGPT can work with messy inputs]

• Key dates that must be included are [define any key dates such as product launches, campaign start dates, Black Friday et al]

• Frequency of review milestones to include is every [frequency at which you’d like to schedule reviews of your planned marketing activity e.g. week, month or quarter]

Present the roadmap in table format. The first column is headed ‘Date’ and will show the date of this particular milestone in the roadmap in the format ‘6th Nov 2026’. The second column is headed ‘Milestone’ and will detail the nature of this particular milestone. The third column is headed ‘Actions’ and will list in an un-numbered list format what likely actions will be taken on the day of, and following, this particular milestone. You will discern what these tasks likely are from the above information.

Remember to include review milestones at the frequency specific above. These are regular review meetings in which we will assess the progress of the digital marketing activity based on the KPIs, and adjust our tactics as needed.

Once you have returned your response, ask me if the roadmap could be improved - yes or no. If I answer yes, ask me what other information I could have provided to improve the roadmap. Encourage me to feed you more information to improve the results.
