75 percent of the value generative AI could create concentrates in four business functions, and marketing and sales is one of them, according to McKinsey's analysis. That's the headline. The daily reality is you, a blank doc, and a Google ad that needs ten headlines before lunch. Prompts are how you close that gap, not by handing the strategy to a model, but by getting it to draft the parts that eat your hours so you can spend yours on the calls that need a marketer.
This is a set of 40 ready-to-use ChatGPT prompts for marketing, grouped by the work a marketer actually does: positioning and messaging, audience research, paid ads, landing pages, funnels and lifecycle email, SEO and content strategy, campaign planning, and reading the numbers afterwards. It skips the generic "write me a caption" lists on purpose. Our prompts for content creators and prompts for small business owners cover that ground; this one is built for the campaign and conversion side. If you'd rather build your own from scratch, the guide to writing prompts walks through the method.
ChatGPT is free to start and runs GPT-5.5 by default as of June 2026, and every prompt here works the same in Claude or Gemini, so reach for whatever's already in your stack.
A good prompt beats "write me some ad copy"
A good marketing prompt gives ChatGPT three things it can't guess: your product and what makes it different, the audience you're talking to, and the exact deliverable you want. Ask it loosely and you get a bland paragraph that could sell anything:
Write some ad copy for my product.
Give it the angle, the audience, and the format, and you get something you could actually put live:
Write three Facebook ad variations for a meal-prep app aimed at busy parents. Give each a different angle: one on saving time, one on eating healthier, one on ending the daily 'what's for dinner' stress. Primary text under 100 words, a punchy headline, and a clear CTA. Friendly and down-to-earth, not salesy.
The closer the brief is to a brief you'd hand a junior marketer, the closer the output is to usable. Each prompt below leaves a [bracket] or two for your product, audience, and numbers, so you're editing a real draft rather than staring at an empty box. One rule runs underneath all of them, and it's the last section here: ChatGPT drafts the copy, but you bring the strategy and the data.
Positioning and messaging
Positioning is the decision about who you're for and why you're the better choice, and it's the work that makes every ad and page easier to write. Get it vague and everything downstream sounds generic. These prompts force the specifics: the promise, the difference, and the proof that backs it up.
1. Draft a value proposition
A clear promise in one line.
Act as a positioning strategist. Our product is [product] for [audience]. Draft a value proposition with this structure: for [target customer] who [need], [product] is a [category] that [main benefit], unlike [alternative]. Give me three versions, from safe to bold.
2. Differentiate from a competitor
Find the angle only you can own.
We compete with [competitor] in [market]. Here's what they emphasise: [paste]. Find three angles where we are genuinely different, not just louder, and turn each into a one-line message I could use on the site and in ads.
3. Build a messaging hierarchy
One promise, three pillars, real proof.
Build a messaging hierarchy for [product]: one primary message, three supporting pillars, and a proof point under each. The audience is [audience] and the thing they care about most is [outcome].
4. Turn features into benefits
Say what the buyer actually gets.
Here's a list of our product features: [paste]. For each one, write the benefit a [audience] actually cares about, in plain language, and flag any feature that does not map to a real benefit.
5. Reframe the pitch per audience
Same product, different angle.
We sell [product] to two different audiences: [A] and [B]. Rewrite our core pitch for each, changing the angle and the language to match what each group cares about, not just swapping a few words.
Audience and customer research
The best marketing copy is mostly listening, written down. Before you write a word, you want the customer's own language for the problem and the result they're after. These prompts turn the raw material you already have, reviews, calls, support tickets, into angles you can use.
6. Build an ideal customer profile
Who you're really selling to.
From this data about our best customers, [paste notes, traits, or interview snippets], draft an ideal customer profile: who they are, the problem they hire us to solve, what they tried before, and the words they use to describe the problem.
7. Mine reviews for angles
Marketing language, in their words.
Here are customer reviews and support messages: [paste]. Pull out the phrases customers use to describe the problem and the result they want, then turn the five most common ones into marketing angles.
8. Tear down a competitor page
Read their strategy off the page.
Analyse this competitor's homepage and pricing page: [paste or describe]. Summarise who they target, their main promise, how they justify the price, and one gap in their message we could own.
9. Map the awareness stages
Meet buyers where their head is.
For [product], map what a buyer is thinking at each awareness stage: unaware, problem-aware, solution-aware, product-aware, and ready to buy. For each stage, suggest the one message that moves them to the next.
10. Draft buyer personas
Two people, not one blur.
Create two distinct buyer personas for [product]: their role, goals, what blocks them, where they look for solutions, and the objection most likely to stop them buying. Base them on [audience details].
Paid ads and PPC
This is the work where small wording changes show up in the cost per click, so it pays to generate plenty of options and test the strongest. ChatGPT is fast at the variations; you still pick the angles and read the results. Give it the format limits up front so the output drops straight into the ad platform.
11. Write Google search ad assets
Headlines and descriptions that fit.
Write Google responsive search ad assets for [product], targeting the keyword [keyword]: 10 headlines of 30 characters or fewer, and 3 descriptions of 90 characters or fewer. Lead with the benefit, include one headline with the keyword, and one with a clear call to action.
12. Write three Meta ad variations
Three angles, one product.
Write three Facebook and Instagram ad variations for [product] aimed at [audience]. Give each a different angle: one on the problem, one on the outcome, one on social proof. Primary text under 125 words, a headline, and a CTA for each.
13. Brainstorm ad angles to test
A shortlist worth your budget.
Give me eight ad angles to test for [product]: a mix of pain-point, benefit, curiosity, objection-handling, and comparison. One line each, so I can pick the strongest few to write up in full.
14. Plan ad targeting
Where to point the spend.
Suggest a targeting plan for a [platform] campaign selling [product] to [audience]: interest and behaviour ideas, one lookalike approach, and one retargeting segment, with a sentence on why each fits.
15. Write retargeting ad copy
Win back the ones who left.
Write retargeting ad copy for people who visited our [page] but did not [convert]. Three short variations that address the likely reason they hesitated, without being pushy. Product: [product].
Landing pages and conversion copy
A landing page has one job, and most of them bury it. The aim here is a page that makes the promise fast, answers the obvious doubts, and asks for one clear action. These prompts build it section by section so you can swap in your real proof rather than ship a wall of adjectives.
16. Write a landing page hero
The first seven seconds.
Write three options for a landing page hero for [product]: a headline, a subhead, and a button label for each. The main promise is [benefit], the audience is [audience], and the tone is [tone].
17. Write benefit-led bullets
Outcomes first, features second.
Turn these product features into benefit-led bullet points for a landing page: [paste features]. Keep each bullet to one line, lead with the outcome, and order them strongest first.
18. Handle the top objections
Answer the doubts on the page.
List the top five objections a [audience] would have before buying [product], and for each, write a short, honest answer I could use in an FAQ or a reasons-to-hesitate section.
19. Write better CTA labels
Past "Sign up" and "Buy now".
Write eight call-to-action button labels for [product] that go beyond 'Sign up' or 'Buy now'. Match the action to the value the visitor gets, and note which stage of intent each fits.
20. Draft a long-form sales section
The full pitch, no hype.
Draft the body copy for a long-form sales page for [product]: the problem, the cost of not fixing it, our approach, how it works in three steps, proof, and a closing CTA. Audience: [audience]. Keep it honest, no hype.
Funnels and lifecycle email
A funnel is just the path from "never heard of you" to "paying customer", and the emails that carry people along it. This is the part most prompt roundups skip, and it's where steady revenue actually comes from. These prompts plan the path and draft the sequences; for the craft of a single email, our prompts for writing emails go deeper.
21. Map a marketing funnel
First touch to purchase.
Map a marketing funnel for [product] sold to [audience]: the stages from first touch to purchase, the question the buyer has at each stage, and one piece of content or message that answers it.
22. Brainstorm lead magnets
A reason to hand over an email.
Suggest five lead magnet ideas for [audience] interested in [topic]: a mix of formats such as a checklist, template, mini-guide, calculator, or email course, with a one-line pitch and the email it would help us start.
23. Outline a welcome sequence
Earn the second open.
Outline a five-email welcome sequence for new subscribers who downloaded [lead magnet]: the goal of each email, a subject line, and the one action it should drive, building toward [offer].
24. Write a re-engagement campaign
Wake up a quiet list.
Draft a three-email re-engagement campaign for subscribers who have not opened anything in [timeframe]: one that gives value, one that asks if they want to stay, and one last call. Brand: [describe].
25. Audit the lifecycle for gaps
Find the emails you're not sending.
Here's our current set of automated emails: [paste or list]. Point out the gaps in the customer lifecycle where we send nothing, and suggest one campaign to fill each gap.
SEO and content strategy
This is the strategy layer above writing a blog post: which topics to chase, how to brief them, and how to get cited by the AI engines that now answer half the questions. The prompts here produce briefs, clusters, and intent maps, not finished articles, so a writer (or you) can take it from there.
26. Write a content brief
A brief a writer can run with.
Write a content brief for an article targeting [keyword]: the search intent, a suggested H1, six H2 sections with a line on each, the questions to answer, and three internal links to suggest. Audience: [audience].
27. Build a topic cluster
A pillar and its supporting set.
Build a topic cluster for [pillar topic]: one pillar page and eight to ten supporting article ideas, each with its target keyword and a note on how it links back to the pillar.
28. Map keywords to intent
Spend effort where it pays.
For these keywords, [paste list], label the likely search intent (informational, commercial, transactional), the best content format for each, and which ones are worth our time given we are a smaller site.
29. Optimise for AI answers
Get quoted by ChatGPT and AI overviews.
Rewrite this section so it is more likely to be quoted by AI answer engines like ChatGPT and Google's AI overviews: [paste]. Make the first sentence a clear, self-contained definition, and keep the claims specific and easy to lift.
30. Find content gaps
Topics you're missing.
Here are the topics a competitor ranks for: [paste or list]. Compare them to what we cover, [paste or describe], and suggest five topics we are missing that fit our audience and we could realistically rank for.

Campaign planning and briefs
A campaign is a set of coordinated messages with one goal and a deadline, and the brief is what keeps the team pointed the same way. These prompts turn a fuzzy "let's do a launch" into a plan with dates, channels, and a way to tell if it worked.
31. Write a campaign brief
One page everyone aligns on.
Write a one-page campaign brief for [campaign or launch]: the goal, the audience, the core message, the channels, the offer, the key dates, and how we will measure success. Context: [paste].
32. Plan a product launch
Four weeks to launch day.
Outline a four-week launch plan for [product or feature]: what to do each week across email, social, and content, building to launch day, with a pre-launch and a post-launch step.
33. Plan a channel mix
Split the effort sensibly.
We have a budget of [amount] and want to reach [audience] for [product]. Suggest how to split effort across channels (paid, organic, email, partnerships), the role each plays, and what to test first.
34. Build a promo calendar
Three months at a glance.
Build a three-month promotional calendar for [business type]: the key dates, seasonal hooks, and one campaign idea per month, with the goal and main channel for each.
35. Write a creative brief
Hand a designer the full picture.
Write a creative brief for a designer making ad creative for [campaign]: the message, the audience, the feeling it should convey, the must-include elements, the formats and sizes needed, and what to avoid.
Analytics and optimization
The point of all this is to learn what works and do more of it, which means reading the numbers without kidding yourself. ChatGPT is a useful second pair of eyes on a test or a report, as long as you keep it honest about small samples. Paste the real figures, and ask it to separate signal from noise.
36. Design an A/B test
One change, one clear winner.
Help me design an A/B test for [page or email]. I think [hypothesis]. Define the one variable to change, what stays the same, the metric that decides the winner, and roughly how long to run it. Context: [paste].
37. Interpret campaign results
Signal versus noise.
Here are the results of a marketing test or campaign: [paste numbers]. Tell me what they suggest, what is likely noise versus a real signal, and what I should try next. Do not overclaim from a small sample.
38. Diagnose funnel drop-off
Find where you lose people.
Here are the conversion rates at each step of our funnel: [paste]. Point out where we lose the most people, two likely reasons for the biggest drop, and one test to address each.
39. Draft a marketing report
Numbers into a story.
Turn these numbers into a short monthly marketing report for [audience, e.g. a founder]: what happened, why it matters, what we learned, and what we will do next. Keep it plain and honest about what did not work. Data: [paste].
40. Pick the metric that matters
One number to steer by.
For [business or campaign], help me pick the one north-star metric to focus on, plus the two or three supporting metrics underneath it. Explain why the vanity metrics I might be tempted by, [list], can mislead us.
Let AI draft the copy, you bring the strategy and the numbers
There's a clear line worth holding through all of this. ChatGPT is genuinely good at the words: ad variations, page copy, email sequences, a tidy report from messy figures. It's much weaker at the judgement, and it has one habit that gets marketers in trouble. Ask it for a stat and it will give you one, confidently, whether or not it's real, so never let a number it invented end up in a deck or a campaign.
Treat it as a fast drafter and a thinking partner, not a strategist. You decide the positioning, you choose which audience to chase, and you read the test results, because it doesn't know your margins, your brand promise, or what your last campaign actually returned unless you tell it. Paste in your real data, check anything it claims as fact, and keep the voice yours so your marketing doesn't sound like everyone else who used the same tool. Used that way, it gives you back the hours that copy and admin usually eat, and leaves the marketing decisions where they belong.
What this post does not cover
These prompts are drafting and thinking aids, not a marketing strategy or a guarantee of results, and nothing here is legal or financial advice. Ad-platform rules, character limits, and privacy laws change, so confirm the current specifics before you launch. For the wider toolkit, the free prompt library has more by category, the best AI tools guide covers the software behind a marketing stack, and if you run the whole business yourself, the prompts for small business owners start a step earlier.
