The prompt
I work in marketing at a construction firm. Help me write a LinkedIn ad for a guide, event or service.

Context: This suits commercial work: fit-out, refurbishment, M&E, frameworks. The reader is a facilities manager, a developer, a quantity surveyor or an estates lead.

Before you start, ask me for anything missing from this list:
- What we are promoting
- The job titles we want to reach
- The one action we want

Then:
1. Write three versions with different openings.
2. Say who it is for in the first line.
3. Keep the intro under 150 characters.

Give me:
- Three ad versions with headline and intro text
- Which to test first and why

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:
- Claims about results on other clients' projects, with permission
- Guides offered as downloads, checked by a technical lead
- Sustainability or carbon claims in the ad, with their evidence

Paste it into Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini or Copilot. It will ask you for what it needs.

Check before this goes out

  • Claims about results on other clients' projects, with permission
  • Guides offered as downloads, checked by a technical lead
  • Sustainability or carbon claims in the ad, with their evidence

The prompt gives you a first draft. Someone qualified still approves anything a client will read.
