The prompt
I work in marketing at a construction firm. Help me build a brief for a page that should be found in Google and AI answers. Context: Building questions get answered by AI tools from whichever page states the answer most plainly. First-hand detail from someone who runs sites is what generic pages lack. Before you start, ask me for anything missing from this list: - The topic or question - What we know first-hand - Existing pages on nearby topics Then: 1. State the reader's question and the follow-ups. 2. Find the angle only we can take. 3. Outline the page with an answer at the top. Give me: - Working title - Angle - Outline with question headings - Evidence to include 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. - Describe building work in general terms only. Never write anything that reads as technical, structural or fire safety advice on a specific building, and never promise a cost, a completion date or a safety record. - 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 director who approves marketing or our health, safety and quality lead should see: - A named author with the relevant trade or professional qualification - Sections that give guidance someone might act on in their own building - Sources for every cost, standard or performance figure
Paste it into Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini or Copilot. It will ask you for what it needs.
Check before this goes out
- A named author with the relevant trade or professional qualification
- Sections that give guidance someone might act on in their own building
- Sources for every cost, standard or performance figure
The prompt gives you a first draft. Someone qualified still approves anything a client will read.
