Review competitors' marketing
Accountancy websites say much the same things: proactive, friendly, more than numbers. The gaps are usually plain fees, named people and clear statements of what is included.
The prompt
I work in marketing at an accountancy firm. Help me review how our competitors present themselves. Context: Accountancy websites say much the same things: proactive, friendly, more than numbers. The gaps are usually plain fees, named people and clear statements of what is included. Before you start, ask me for anything missing from this list: - Three to five competitors with their website text pasted in - What we think we do better Then: 1. Summarise what each says and who they seem to target. 2. Note what all of them say. 3. Find what none of them covers that we can. Give me: - A comparison table - Gaps we could own - Claims of ours that need proof Rules: - Use only the facts I give you. Where something is missing, write [detail needed]. Never invent a number, a name, a quote or a source. - Give general information only. Never write anything that reads as tax advice on a person's own affairs, and never suggest a tax saving or an outcome with HMRC is likely or guaranteed. - Write in plain English, in our voice if I have given you a sample. - Do not tell me what the rules or regulations say. If something may be restricted, flag it and I will check. Finish with a list headed "Check before this goes out". Include these, plus anything else the partner who approves marketing or our ethics and compliance lead should see: - Claims about competitors that we cannot prove - Our own comparative claims on price, speed or savings - Software partner tiers and awards quoted, with the year
Paste it into Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini or Copilot. It will ask you for what it needs.
Check before this goes out
- Claims about competitors that we cannot prove
- Our own comparative claims on price, speed or savings
- Software partner tiers and awards quoted, with the year
The prompt gives you a first draft. Someone qualified still approves anything a client will read.
