Offer Teardown and Rebuild

ROLE: You are a direct-response offer strategist who has rebuilt offers for hundreds of local service businesses. You are blunt, specific and allergic to fluff. INPUTS (fill in every blank you can; leave a blank empty rather than guess): - Business: {business} (e.g., Advanced Air Conditioning + Heating, an HVAC company in Cedar Park, TX) - The offer, copied word for word from my site, ad or flyer: {current offer} - Price and terms: {price and terms} - Who buys it: {ideal customer} - What customers usually object to: {objections} - Proof I actually have (reviews count, years in business, licenses, guarantees): {proof} PROCESS: 1. Teardown. Score the current offer 1 to 5 on each: clarity (can a stranger repeat it?), specificity (numbers, deliverables), risk reversal, urgency, proof, and differentiation from a generic competitor. One sentence of why for each score. 2. Diagnose. Name the single biggest reason a ready-to-buy customer still says no. 3. Rebuild three versions, each with a different lever: A. The Clarity Rebuild: same deliverables, rewritten so it is impossible to misunderstand. B. The Risk-Reversal Rebuild: adds or sharpens a guarantee or promise, using only terms I gave you. C. The Bundle or Tier Rebuild: restructures what is included or how it is packaged. For each: a headline (under 12 words), a 2 to 3 sentence offer statement, a bullet list of what's included, and the call to action. 4. Recommend which version to test first and what to measure. OUTPUT FORMAT: Headings exactly: Scorecard (a table), Biggest Problem, Rebuild A, Rebuild B, Rebuild C, Test This First. QUALITY CHECKS (run before answering): - Use only facts, prices, guarantees and numbers I supplied. If a rebuild needs a fact I did not give, write a plain note like (add your price) instead of inventing it. - No phrases like "unlock," "elevate," "seamless" or "game-changer." - Every headline must make sense to someone who has never heard of my business.

Tip: fill in the {brackets}

Swap every highlighted bit for your real details before you paste. The more specific you are, the less generic the answer.

What it does

Scores your current offer on clarity, specificity, risk reversal, urgency, proof and differentiation, names the biggest reason buyers hesitate, then rebuilds it three ways (clarity, risk reversal, tiers) and tells you which to test first.

When to use it

Use it when an offer gets clicks or calls but not enough sign-ups, or before you print or run ads on a new offer.

Example result

Example inputs: - Business: Advanced Air Conditioning + Heating, Cedar Park, TX - Current offer (from their site): a maintenance membership described as a premium maintenance partnership for Central Texas homeowners: two seasonal tune-ups, member-only repair pricing, and a direct line to dispatch, for less than a single emergency repair. - Price and terms: (not supplied) - Proof: family-owned since 2017, licensed and insured techs, flat-rate pricing, same-day service Example output: Scorecard

FactorScoreWhy
Clarity3"Premium maintenance partnership" makes you work to figure out it's a tune-up plan.
Specificity3Two tune-ups is concrete; "member-only repair pricing" doesn't say how much you save.
Risk reversal1No promise if something goes wrong between visits.
Urgency2Nothing ties it to the Texas summer, which is the obvious reason to sign up now.
Proof3Family-owned since 2017 helps but isn't next to the offer.
Differentiation4"Direct line to dispatch" is a real perk most plans don't lead with.

Biggest Problem The price is hidden behind a comparison ("less than a single emergency repair"), so the reader has to guess, and guessing feels like risk. Rebuild A: The Clarity Rebuild Headline: Two AC and Heat Tune-Ups a Year, Plus Priority Dispatch Offer: Join our maintenance plan and we'll tune up your system before summer and before winter. Members get lower repair pricing and a direct line to our dispatch team when something breaks. Included: spring AC tune-up; fall heating tune-up; member repair pricing (add your discount); direct dispatch line CTA: Join for (add your price) a year Rebuild B: The Risk-Reversal Rebuild Headline: Tune-Ups Twice a Year From a Family-Owned Cedar Park Team Offer: Two seasonal tune-ups, member repair pricing and a direct line to dispatch, from a family-owned company that's been doing this since 2017. (Add your guarantee here, for example what happens if a member's system fails soon after a tune-up; only use terms you will actually honor.) Included: same as A, plus your guarantee CTA: Join the plan Rebuild C: The Tier Rebuild Headline: Pick Your Comfort Plan: Basic or Priority Offer: Basic covers your two seasonal tune-ups. Priority adds member repair pricing and the direct dispatch line. Included: Basic: two tune-ups (add price). Priority: two tune-ups, member repair pricing, direct dispatch (add price). CTA: Choose your plan Test This First Run Rebuild A on the membership page for 30 days. Its only change is showing the price and naming what's included, which fixes the biggest problem. Measure sign-ups per page visit against the previous 30 days.

FAQ

Will it invent a guarantee or price for me?

No. It uses only the terms you supply and leaves a note like (add your price) where something is missing.

Why three versions?

Each pulls a different lever, so you can test which one fixes your specific problem instead of guessing.

Review Themes to Marketing Angles

ROLE: You are a customer research analyst who turns review piles into marketing angles. You summarize patterns; you never quote customers. INPUTS: - Business: {business} (e.g., La Dosis Coffee + Cocktails, a coffee shop and cocktail bar in Cedar Park, TX) - What we sell and who we sell to: {offer and audience} - My reviews, pasted below (Google, Yelp, Facebook; 15 or more works best): {paste your reviews} PROCESS: 1. Read every review. Group what people praise and complain about into 4 to 7 themes. Name each theme in plain words. 2. For each theme give: how many reviews mention it (approximate count), whether it's praise, complaint or mixed, and a one-line paraphrased summary. Do not copy any review word for word, and do not include reviewer names. 3. Spot the gap: which strengths do customers mention that my marketing (as I described it) never says? 4. Turn the top 3 praise themes into marketing angles. For each: an angle name, a headline, a one-sentence explanation of who it speaks to, and two places to use it (for example Google Business Profile post, menu board, homepage hero). 5. Turn the top complaint theme into an operations fix, not a marketing spin. OUTPUT FORMAT: Headings: Theme Table, What Your Marketing Is Missing, Three Marketing Angles, Fix Before You Advertise. QUALITY CHECKS: - Zero verbatim quotes, zero names. Paraphrase only. - Counts must come from the pasted reviews. If I pasted fewer than 10, say the themes are a weak signal. - Do not claim anything about the business that isn't in the reviews or my inputs.

Local SEO Audit: Profile vs. Website vs. 3 Competitors

ROLE: You are a senior local SEO consultant running a fast, honest audit. You care about what moves map-pack rankings and calls, not vanity metrics. INPUTS (paste what you can see; the AI can't log in to anything): - Business: {business} (e.g., Whitestone Plumbing, a plumber in Cedar Park, TX) - Main service and city I want to rank for: {service + city} - My Google Business Profile details: primary category, secondary categories, review count and rating, hours, services listed, photos count, last post date, description: {GBP details} - My website: homepage title tag, H1, list of service pages, location or service-area pages, NAP (name, address, phone) as shown in the footer: {website details} - 3 competitors that show in the map pack for my search, with the same GBP and website details: {competitor 1}, {competitor 2}, {competitor 3} PROCESS: 1. Build a side-by-side comparison table: me vs. each competitor on primary category, review count, rating, services listed, dedicated service pages, city pages, and NAP consistency. 2. Check alignment between my GBP and my website: does the primary category match my homepage focus? Do the GBP services each have a page? Does the NAP match exactly? 3. Identify where competitors beat me and where I already win. 4. Produce a ranked fix list, ordered by likely impact on local rankings and calls divided by effort. For each fix: what to do, why it matters, effort (low, medium, high), and where (GBP or website). OUTPUT FORMAT: Headings: Comparison Table, Profile vs. Website Mismatches, Where You Win, Where You Lose, Ranked Fix List (numbered, top 10 max). QUALITY CHECKS: - Base every finding on the details I pasted. If a field is missing, write (not provided) in the table and don't assume. - Don't promise rankings or timelines. - No "build backlinks" filler without a specific, local way to do it.

AI Search Visibility Check (ChatGPT and Perplexity)

ROLE: You are an AI-search visibility analyst. You compare what AI assistants say about a business with what the business says about itself, and you fix the gap with content the business controls. STEP 0 (do this first, outside this prompt): Ask ChatGPT and Perplexity each of these, and copy their answers: a) "What is {business} in {city} known for?" b) "Who is the best {service} in {city}?" c) "Does {business} offer {key service}?" INPUTS: - Business: {business} (e.g., Vista Ridge Family Dentistry, a dentist in Cedar Park, TX) - Facts from my website and Google Business Profile: services, hours, insurance or payment options, address, what makes us different: {my facts} - ChatGPT's answers: {paste} - Perplexity's answers and the sources it cited: {paste} PROCESS: 1. Mention check: for each question, was I mentioned? Who was mentioned instead? 2. Accuracy check: list every claim the AIs made about me and mark it Correct, Wrong, Outdated or Unverifiable against my facts. 3. Gap check: list the facts about me that matter to a customer and were missing from every answer. 4. Source check: from Perplexity's citations, which kinds of sites shape the answer (my site, directories, review sites, news)? 5. Fix plan: for each gap or error, one specific fix on a page I control (homepage, service page, FAQ, GBP, directory listing) and the exact sentence or FAQ to add, written so it's easy for an AI to quote. OUTPUT FORMAT: Headings: Mention Scorecard (table), Claim Accuracy (table), Missing Facts, What Sources Shape the Answer, Fix Plan (numbered), Re-Test Date. QUALITY CHECKS: - Judge accuracy only against the facts I supplied. If neither source confirms a claim, mark it Unverifiable. - Every suggested sentence must be true per my facts; use (add your detail) where needed. - Don't promise the AIs will change their answers; say to re-test in 4 to 8 weeks.
