Why AI is your new copywriting partner (and how to use it right)
According to a 2024 survey by the Content Marketing Institute, 72% of marketers already use generative AI for content creation, but only 28% have a formal prompt strategy. That gap is your opportunity. The difference between mediocre AI output and copy that converts isn't the model—it's the prompt.
This guide gives you 12 battle-tested prompts for the entire marketing funnel: from landing page headlines to email sequences, from ad creatives to content calendars. Each prompt includes context, a usage example, and pro tips. Copy them, adapt them, and watch your output quality jump.
We'll also reference frameworks like PAS (Problem-Agitate-Solution), AIDA (Attention-Interest-Desire-Action), and the 4 Ps of marketing, so you can align AI output with proven psychology.
1. The Landing Page Hero Section Prompt
When to use: You need a headline, subheadline, and CTA that hook visitors in 5 seconds.
Prompt:
You are a senior copywriter for a SaaS product in [industry]. Write a hero section for a landing page targeting [audience]. The main value proposition is [benefit]. Use the PAS framework: start with the problem, agitate it, then present the solution. Output:
- 3 headline options (max 10 words each)
- 1 subheadline (max 20 words)
- 2 CTA button texts (max 5 words each)
Tone: [friendly/professional/bold]. Avoid jargon.
Example: For a project management tool for remote teams, the AI might output headline: "Remote teams miss deadlines. Here's the fix." CTA: "Start free trial."
Pro tip: Run the prompt 3 times with different tones and A/B test the headlines.
2. The Feature-to-Benefit Translator
When to use: Your landing page lists features, but visitors don't care. Translate features into outcomes.
Prompt:
Take these features: [list features]. For each, write a benefit-oriented bullet point (max 12 words) that answers "What's in it for me?" Use the "So what?" test. Then add a mini-case study (2 sentences) showing the benefit in action.
Example: Feature: "Real-time sync". Benefit: "Never work on an outdated file again." Case: "Acme Corp reduced version conflicts by 40% after switching."
Pro tip: Use this for pricing pages too—benefits sell, features justify.

Email 4: feature spotlight. Email 5: limited-time offer.
