ChatGPT Prompts for Growth Marketers: Building Your Roadmap with AI
--
In today’s fast-paced and competitive digital landscape, growth marketers are constantly seeking innovative strategies to drive business growth and stay ahead of the curve.
Enter ChatGPT, a powerful AI language model that can revolutionize the way growth marketers build their roadmaps.
ChatGPT can be used in so many ways that it can feel overwhelming to know where to start. Once you learn how to use this tool in your day-to-day, you’ll unlock your full potential as a marketer, opening your mind to new ideas and approaches to tough problems.
Let’s dive into the exciting world of ChatGPT prompts and discover how they can supercharge your growth marketing roadmap.
Ideation and brainstorming
One of my favorite things to use ChatGPT for is brainstorming. By providing ChatGPT with a summary of your organization and/or product along with your target audience and goals, you can generate new ideas, tactics, and insights that you may not have considered in the past.
ChatGPT can be used to create a roadmap from scratch or ideate on an existing roadmap. This is also a great tool to use when you’re experiencing writer’s block.

Customer persona development
Understanding your target audience is crucial for effective growth marketing. Most organizations will build out personas to create clear messaging paths for their audience.
You can use ChatGPT to help refine and expand your customer personas, adding unique details that help tailor your marketing messages and reach your audience more effectively.
Start by providing basic demographic information and asking ChatGPT to generate insights about their pain points, motivations, and preferred communication channels.

ChatGPT can provide valuable information about your competitors’ strengths, weaknesses, and key differentiators. With the right prompt, you can gain insights into your competitor’s messaging, channels, and customer engagement tactics to help you identify areas where you can outperform them.

Process documentation
The best way to run effective projects is by having clearly documented processes and documentation, no matter what role you’re in. This is especially true when you’re primarily working with cross-functional teams, which is often the case with most growth marketers.
You can use ChatGPT to create a first draft of any process, from project management to SEO implementation.

A few more tips before getting started
Make it your own
Please, please, please, don’t take your ChatGPT content and use it without giving it a read and in most cases, a rewrite. ChatGPT doesn’t know your brand tone and voice, or how you describe your product or messaging.
Can it get you close to final? Yes. But more often than not it will create a good draft to build on. After all, if you want it to really have a human touch, you’ll need to put your own spin on it.
Don’t be afraid to ask for more or less
Say you ask ChatGPT to write you content for a social post or blog post, if you find that it’s too long or short, just ask it to make an adjustment. You can do this by asking for it to adjust to a specific character count, or even saying something like “Can you make that a little shorter/longer?”
You might have to rewrite your prompt
Sometimes you may submit a prompt that doesn’t give you exactly what you’re looking for. It doesn’t mean that ChatGPT doesn’t understand the topic, but that it doesn’t understand the question.
Try rewriting your question with more specifics to generate the right response. Provide clarity with additional details and context.
For example, you may ask ChatGPT for a list of social post ideas for a business. This is very general and probably won’t get you a very targeted response. Try asking for industry-specific information or giving it more context.
Dive deeper into your results
Your conversation with ChatGPT doesn’t have to end with one prompt. Ask it to go deeper on a specific topic to continue to build out a more robust strategy.
Take our example in the content strategy and creation section of this article. We asked ChatGPT, “What are some trending content ideas for a B2B IT consulting company targeting C-level executives?
And to that, it said:
Now that we understand all of the great content themes we could potentially use, let’s dig a little deeper and figure out what exactly we could be writing about.
In the same chat, I followed up with “Can you give me five ideas for thought leadership articles for the same audience?” Leading to the response below.
Summing it all up
Utilizing the right ChatGPT prompts can greatly benefit growth marketers when it comes to building their roadmap and achieving results. By leveraging ChatGPT’s capabilities for generating ideas, refining customer personas, analyzing competitors, shaping content strategies, and optimizing marketing efforts, growth marketers can gain valuable insights and drive business growth.
With the help of ChatGPT, you can create a roadmap that is innovative, unique, and built to generate results.
