XML-structured prompts designed for how Claude actually works. Copy, paste, and get marketing output that sounds like it came from your best strategist — not a chatbot.
Content Strategy
4 promptsBuild a 30-Day Content Calendar
1/20<context> I'm a [role, e.g. content marketer] at [company] in the [industry] space. Our target audience is [describe audience]. Our primary content channels are [blog/LinkedIn/newsletter/etc.]. </context> <task> Create a 30-day content calendar with the following for each piece: 1. Working title 2. Content format (blog post, carousel, thread, newsletter) 3. Target keyword or topic cluster 4. Hook or angle (why someone would click) 5. CTA aligned to [our goal: leads/signups/awareness] </task> <constraints> - Mix formats: 40% educational, 30% thought leadership, 20% case-study-driven, 10% promotional - No generic topics — every piece should have a specific, defensible angle - Space promotional content so it never appears back-to-back </constraints> <format> Return as a markdown table grouped by week. Include a "Theme" row at the start of each week. </format>
Generates a structured monthly content plan with specific angles, formats, and CTAs — not just vague topic ideas.
Pro tip: Save this as a system prompt in a Claude Project called "Content Planning" so you can run it monthly with fresh inputs.
Audit and Improve Existing Content
2/20<context> I have a [blog post/landing page/email sequence] about [topic]. The current performance: [describe metrics — traffic, conversion rate, bounce rate, etc.]. Target audience: [describe]. </context> <task> Analyze this content and provide: 1. What's working and why (be specific — cite sentences or sections) 2. What's underperforming and why 3. A rewritten version of the weakest section 4. 3 headline alternatives ranked by clarity 5. One structural change that would improve engagement </task> <constraints> - Base your analysis on copywriting principles, not just opinions - Don't suggest adding fluff or filler — every change should earn its place - Keep the original voice and tone </constraints> Here's the content: [paste your content here]
Gets a specific, actionable content audit — not vague "make it more engaging" advice.
Pro tip: Claude excels at long-form analysis. Paste the entire piece — Claude handles up to 200K tokens and gives better feedback with full context.
Turn One Piece Into Five Formats
3/20<context> I have a [blog post/whitepaper/podcast transcript/video script] that performed well. I want to repurpose it across multiple channels without sounding repetitive. </context> <task> Take this content and create 5 derivative pieces: 1. A LinkedIn post (hook + insight + CTA, under 1300 characters) 2. A Twitter/X thread (7-10 tweets, each standalone valuable) 3. An email newsletter section (150 words, conversational tone) 4. A carousel script (8 slides: hook, 5 points, summary, CTA) 5. A short-form video script (60 seconds, spoken word) </task> <constraints> - Each format should feel native to its platform — not a copy-paste resize - Preserve the core insight but change the angle for each - The LinkedIn post should NOT start with "I" </constraints> Here's the source content: [paste content here]
Repurposes one high-performing piece into platform-native content for five channels.
Pro tip: Ask Claude to generate each piece as a separate artifact — you can then edit and export them individually.
Competitor Content Gap Analysis
4/20<context> My company is [company] in the [industry] space. Our main competitors are [competitor 1], [competitor 2], and [competitor 3]. Our blog/content hub is at [URL]. Their content hubs are at [URLs]. </context> <task> Based on common content strategies in [industry], identify: 1. Topics our competitors likely cover that we don't 2. Angles we could own that competitors are missing 3. Content formats they use that we should test 4. 5 specific content pieces I should create this month, with working titles and reasoning </task> <constraints> - Focus on topics where we can credibly add unique value — not just gap-filling - Prioritize by business impact, not just search volume - Be specific about WHY each recommendation matters </constraints> <format> Use headers for each section. For the 5 content pieces, format as a numbered list with: Title | Format | Why This Wins. </format>
Identifies content opportunities your competitors are missing — specific to your industry and positioning.
Pro tip: Enable extended thinking for this prompt. Claude will reason more deeply about competitive dynamics with thinking mode on.

Email Marketing
4 promptsWrite a Product Launch Email Sequence
5/20<context> We're launching [product/feature] on [date]. Target audience: [describe]. The key value proposition is [what it does for them]. Price point: [price]. We have [size] email list. </context> <task> Write a 4-email launch sequence: 1. Teaser (3 days before) — build curiosity without revealing everything 2. Launch day — announce with clear value prop and urgency 3. Social proof (day 2) — address objections with proof 4. Last chance (day 4) — scarcity/deadline-driven close For each email, provide: - Subject line (under 50 characters) - Preview text (under 90 characters) - Full email body - Primary CTA button text </task> <constraints> - No ALL CAPS, no excessive punctuation, no clickbait - Each email should work as a standalone piece (not everyone opens every email) - Tone: [professional/casual/urgent — pick one] - Keep body under 200 words per email </constraints>
Creates a complete 4-email launch sequence with subject lines, preview text, and conversion-focused body copy.
Pro tip: Claude will generate this as a long artifact you can scroll through. Ask "now write email 2 in a more casual tone" to iterate on specific parts.
Re-Engage Cold Subscribers
6/20<context> I have a segment of [number] email subscribers who haven't opened an email in [timeframe]. Our brand is [describe brand/product]. The last thing they engaged with was [topic/offer]. </context> <task> Write a 3-email win-back sequence: 1. "We miss you" (soft, value-first — give them a reason to care again) 2. "Here's what you missed" (highlight 3 best pieces of content/offers since they went cold) 3. "Should we part ways?" (final email — let them self-select out or stay) For each email, provide subject line, preview text, and body. </task> <constraints> - No guilt-tripping or passive-aggressive tone - Email 3 must include a clear unsubscribe CTA alongside a "keep me subscribed" CTA - Keep each email under 150 words - Sound human — not like a marketing automation sequence </constraints>
A 3-part win-back sequence that respects your subscribers while giving them a genuine reason to re-engage.
Pro tip: After generating, ask Claude: "Now critique these emails as if you were a subscriber who gets 50 emails a day. What would you delete?" — Claude gives brutally honest feedback.
Write a Newsletter That People Actually Read
7/20<context> I run a [weekly/biweekly] newsletter about [topic] for [audience]. Current open rate: [X%]. Current click rate: [X%]. Subscriber count: [number]. </context> <task> Write this week's newsletter edition: - Topic: [this week's topic] - Include: one main insight, one actionable takeaway, one curated resource - Subject line: 3 options ranked by open-rate potential - Preview text for each subject line </task> <constraints> - Total length: 400-500 words (respect people's time) - Write like a smart friend sharing something useful, not a brand broadcasting - First sentence must hook — no "Happy Tuesday" or "Hope you're well" - End with a question that drives replies (boosts deliverability) </constraints> <format> Structure: Hook → Main insight → Actionable takeaway → Curated resource → Reply prompt </format>
Produces a tight, valuable newsletter edition with multiple subject line options and a reply-driving close.
Pro tip: Save the <constraints> and <format> blocks as a custom instruction in a Claude Project. Then you only need to provide the topic each week.
A/B Test Subject Line Generator
8/20<task> Generate 10 email subject lines for the following email: - Email topic: [describe] - Audience: [describe] - Goal: [opens/clicks/replies] Group them by psychological trigger: - Curiosity (2 options) - Urgency (2 options) - Specificity (2 options) - Social proof (2 options) - Contrarian (2 options) For each, note: the trigger used, predicted open rate (relative: higher/average/lower than typical), and what makes it work. </task> <constraints> - All under 50 characters (mobile-friendly) - No spam trigger words (free, act now, limited time) - No emojis unless the brand voice uses them - Each should be meaningfully different — not just word swaps </constraints>
Generates 10 categorized subject lines with psychological reasoning — ready to A/B test.
Pro tip: Claude is strong at explaining why copy works. Ask "which 2 should I A/B test first and why?" for a quick recommendation.

Ad Copy & Landing Pages
4 promptsGoogle Ads Copy Variations
13/20<context> Product/service: [describe]. Target keyword: [keyword]. Landing page URL: [URL]. Target audience: [describe]. Key differentiator: [what makes you different]. </context> <task> Write 5 responsive search ad variations, each with: 1. 3 headlines (max 30 characters each) 2. 2 descriptions (max 90 characters each) 3. Sitelink suggestions (4 per ad) Vary the angle across the 5 ads: - Ad 1: Direct benefit - Ad 2: Problem-aware - Ad 3: Social proof / authority - Ad 4: Urgency / scarcity - Ad 5: Curiosity / question </task> <constraints> - Headlines must include the target keyword naturally (at least once across the 3) - No misleading claims or unverifiable statistics - Each description must end with a CTA - Character counts are strict — flag any that exceed limits </constraints>
Five angle-varied Google Ads with strict character limits, keyword integration, and sitelink suggestions.
Pro tip: Claude respects character limits well when you specify them in <constraints>. It will flag any overages rather than silently exceeding them.
Facebook/Meta Ad Copy Matrix
14/20<context> We're running [campaign type: awareness/consideration/conversion] ads for [product/service]. Budget: [range]. Target audience: [demographics, interests, pain points]. Landing page: [URL]. </context> <task> Create a 3x3 ad copy matrix: - 3 hooks (pattern interrupt, question, bold claim) - 3 body copy approaches (story, benefit-list, testimonial-style) - 3 CTAs (direct, soft, curiosity-driven) This gives 27 possible combinations. Write out the top 5 highest-potential combinations as complete ad copy (primary text + headline + description). </task> <constraints> - Primary text: 125 characters for the visible portion (before "See more") - Include a "scroll-stopper" first line in every variation - Headline: under 40 characters - No emojis unless the brand voice uses them </constraints>
Creates a modular ad copy matrix with 27 combinations, then writes the 5 strongest as complete ads.
Pro tip: Claude's extended thinking is powerful here — it evaluates all 27 combinations before picking the top 5. Enable it for better selection rationale.
Landing Page Copy Framework
15/20<context> I'm building a landing page for [product/service/offer]. Traffic source: [ads/organic/email]. Target audience: [describe]. Primary goal: [signup/purchase/demo request]. Key objections: [list 2-3 common objections]. </context> <task> Write the complete copy for a landing page: 1. Hero: Headline, subheadline, CTA button text 2. Problem section: 3 pain points with specifics 3. Solution section: How [product] solves each pain point 4. Social proof section: structure for testimonials/stats 5. How it works: 3-step process 6. Objection handling: address each objection directly 7. Final CTA: headline, body, button text, risk reversal </task> <constraints> - Hero headline under 10 words - Every section must advance one argument — no redundancy - CTAs should describe what they get, not what they do ("Start Free Trial" not "Sign Up") - Include specific formatting notes (bold key phrases, etc.) </constraints> <format> Organize by section with clear headers. For each section, include the copy plus a brief annotation explaining the strategic choice. </format>
Complete landing page copy with strategic annotations explaining why each section works.
Pro tip: Ask Claude to generate this as an artifact — you get a clean document you can share with your designer or developer directly.
Ad Creative Brief Generator
16/20<context> Campaign: [describe campaign objective]. Product: [product/service]. Budget: [range]. Platforms: [list]. Timeline: [dates]. </context> <task> Generate a creative brief that a designer or video editor can work from: 1. Campaign objective (1 sentence) 2. Target audience profile (demographics + psychographics) 3. Key message (what should they remember?) 4. Proof points (why should they believe it?) 5. Tone and visual direction 6. 3 creative concepts with: - Concept name - Visual description - Copy overlay text - Format specs (dimensions, duration if video) 7. Do's and don'ts list </task> <constraints> - Be specific enough that someone could execute without a follow-up meeting - Creative concepts should be meaningfully different — not 3 versions of the same idea - Include platform-specific callouts where relevant </constraints>
Produces a designer-ready creative brief with 3 distinct concepts, visual direction, and platform specs.
Pro tip: Claude handles multi-step creative thinking well. Follow up with "flesh out concept 2 into a full storyboard" for video ads.
SEO & Content Writing
4 promptsSEO Blog Post Outline With Search Intent
17/20<context> Target keyword: [keyword]. Current top-ranking pages: [briefly describe what ranks or say "I haven't checked"]. My site's domain authority: [if known]. Target audience: [describe]. </context> <task> Create a comprehensive blog post outline that can rank for this keyword: 1. Analyze the likely search intent (informational, commercial, navigational) 2. Suggest a title tag (under 60 characters, keyword near the front) 3. Meta description (under 155 characters, includes keyword naturally) 4. H1 (can differ from title tag) 5. Full outline with H2s and H3s 6. For each section: 1-sentence summary of what to cover and why it matters for the reader 7. Internal linking opportunities 8. Featured snippet opportunity (if applicable — format the answer) </task> <constraints> - Don't just match what competitors do — identify what they're missing - Every H2 should answer a question the searcher actually has - No filler sections (don't include "What is [keyword]?" unless the intent is truly beginner) - Include word count estimate for the full piece </constraints>
Creates a rank-ready blog outline based on search intent analysis — not just a generic H2 list.
Pro tip: Enable extended thinking. Claude will analyze search intent more carefully and produce outlines that match what Google actually wants to rank.
Rewrite Content for a Featured Snippet
18/20<task> I want to win the featured snippet for [keyword]. The current featured snippet says: [paste current snippet or describe it] My existing content on this topic: [paste your content or summarize it] Rewrite a section of my content specifically formatted to win this snippet: 1. If it's a paragraph snippet: Write a 40-55 word answer directly below the H2 2. If it's a list snippet: Write a clear numbered or bulleted list with an H2 that matches the query 3. If it's a table snippet: Structure the data as a clean HTML table </task> <constraints> - The answer must be more complete and clearer than the current snippet - Start with a direct answer — don't build up to it - Match the format Google currently uses for this snippet type - Include the keyword naturally in the H2 and first sentence </constraints>
Formats your content specifically to win featured snippets — matching Google's preferred structure.
Pro tip: Claude is precise about word counts and formatting constraints. It will count words and structure content to match snippet requirements.
Keyword Clustering and Content Mapping
19/20<context> I have a list of keywords I want to target. My site is in the [industry] space. Current content: [describe what you already have or say "starting fresh"]. </context> <task> Take this keyword list and: 1. Group them into topic clusters (each cluster = one page or pillar) 2. For each cluster, identify: - Primary keyword (highest volume/intent match) - Supporting keywords (to include naturally) - Content type recommendation (blog, landing page, comparison, guide) - Search intent 3. Map the clusters into a site structure showing pillar pages → cluster content 4. Identify any gaps — topics I should research but haven't listed </task> <constraints> - Don't create separate pages for keywords that share the same search intent - Prioritize clusters by: commercial intent > informational intent (for revenue impact) - Flag any keywords that are too competitive for a [low/medium/high] authority site </constraints> Here are my keywords: [paste keyword list]
Turns a raw keyword list into organized topic clusters with content type recommendations and a site structure map.
Pro tip: Paste your entire keyword export — Claude handles thousands of keywords and spots patterns humans miss. Use extended thinking for best results.
Write SEO Meta Tags in Bulk
20/20<task> Write optimized meta tags for the following pages: [List your pages with their target keywords, e.g.: 1. /blog/email-marketing-guide → "email marketing guide" 2. /features/analytics → "marketing analytics tool" 3. /pricing → "marketing software pricing"] For each page, provide: 1. Title tag (under 60 characters, keyword front-loaded) 2. Meta description (under 155 characters, includes keyword, ends with CTA or benefit) 3. H1 suggestion (if it should differ from title tag) </task> <constraints> - No duplicate title tags — each must be unique - Don't keyword-stuff — read naturally to a human - Include brand name in title tags using " | Brand" or " — Brand" format - Meta descriptions should create curiosity or promise a clear benefit - Flag any target keyword that seems wrong for the page type </constraints> <format> Return as a table: Page | Target KW | Title Tag | Meta Description | H1 </format>
Generates unique, optimized title tags and meta descriptions for multiple pages at once.
Pro tip: Claude outputs clean markdown tables as artifacts — you can copy the table directly into a spreadsheet for your SEO team.

Social Media Copy
4 promptsLinkedIn Thought Leadership Post
9/20<context> I'm a [role] at [company]. I want to share my perspective on [topic/trend] based on [my experience/data/observation]. My LinkedIn audience is primarily [describe]. </context> <task> Write a LinkedIn post that: 1. Opens with a hook that stops the scroll (not "I" as the first word) 2. Shares one specific, defensible opinion or insight 3. Backs it up with a concrete example or data point 4. Ends with a question or CTA that drives comments </task> <constraints> - Under 1300 characters (optimal for LinkedIn) - Use line breaks for readability (1-2 sentences per paragraph) - No hashtags in the body — add 3-5 relevant ones at the bottom - Sound like a real person with conviction, not a content marketer - No "Here's the thing:" or "Let me tell you something:" openers </constraints>
Creates a scroll-stopping LinkedIn post with a strong hook, clear insight, and engagement-driving close.
Pro tip: Generate 3 versions with "give me 3 different hooks for this same insight" — Claude will vary the angle each time, not just rephrase.
Twitter/X Thread From a Key Insight
10/20<context> I want to turn this insight into a Twitter/X thread: [describe your insight or paste source content]. My audience on X is [describe]. </context> <task> Write a 7-10 tweet thread: - Tweet 1: Hook that creates curiosity (must work standalone in the timeline) - Tweets 2-8: One idea per tweet, building on the previous - Tweet 9: Summary or key takeaway - Final tweet: CTA (follow, reply, bookmark, or link) </task> <constraints> - Each tweet under 280 characters - Each tweet should be valuable on its own (people drop off mid-thread) - Use concrete numbers, examples, or quotes — no abstract fluff - No "Thread 🧵" opener — start with the hook directly - Include a "retweet-worthy" tweet in position 3 or 4 </constraints>
Turns one idea into a structured, engaging thread where every tweet earns its place.
Pro tip: After generating, ask Claude: "Which tweet is weakest? Rewrite it with a stronger example." Claude is excellent at self-critique.
Instagram Carousel Script
11/20<task> Create an Instagram carousel (8-10 slides) about [topic] for [audience]. Slide structure: 1. Cover slide: Hook headline (curiosity or bold claim) 2. Problem slide: The pain point or misconception 3-7. Solution slides: One actionable point per slide 8. Summary slide: Key takeaway in one sentence 9. CTA slide: What to do next (save, share, follow, link in bio) </task> <constraints> - Each slide: headline (under 8 words) + supporting text (under 30 words) - Write for scanning — people swipe fast - Slide 2 must validate why they should keep swiping - Use specific numbers and examples, not generic advice - No slide should repeat the same point in different words </constraints> <format> Return as a numbered list. For each slide: **Slide [N]:** [Headline] [Supporting text] [Design note if relevant] </format>
Generates a complete carousel script with hooks, structured points, and a conversion-focused CTA slide.
Pro tip: Ask Claude to create this as an artifact in markdown — you can then hand it directly to your designer with clear structure.
Social Media Content Batch (1 Week)
12/20<context> Brand: [company/brand name] in [industry]. Audience: [describe]. Content pillars: [list 3-4 themes you regularly post about]. Active platforms: [list platforms]. </context> <task> Create a week of social media content (Monday-Friday), with one post per day per platform: - Platform-specific format and tone for each - Mix of content types: educational, behind-the-scenes, engagement, promotional, storytelling - No more than 1 promotional post across the entire week </task> <constraints> - LinkedIn: professional, insight-driven, under 1300 chars - X/Twitter: punchy, under 280 chars (or flag as thread) - Instagram: visual-first, include carousel/reel concept where relevant - Each post must be self-contained (don't reference other posts in the batch) </constraints> <format> Organize by day. Under each day, list each platform's post with the full copy and any visual/format notes. </format>
Produces a full week of platform-native content — not the same post resized five times.
Pro tip: Set up a Claude Project with your brand voice, audience, and content pillars as project knowledge. Then this prompt becomes a weekly one-liner.
