Free AI Prompt Templates for Marketers: 25 Ready-to-Use Prompts That Drive Results

25 free AI prompt templates for marketers, organized by funnel stage. Replace expensive tools with copy-paste prompts that actually match your brand voice.

Here’s the paradox of AI in marketing right now: 91% of marketers are using AI tools, but nearly 72% say they don’t actually know how to use them effectively.

That tracks. You open ChatGPT, type “write me a LinkedIn post about our product launch,” and get back something that sounds like every other LinkedIn post you’ve ever scrolled past. So you try again. And again. Twenty minutes later you’ve got mediocre copy you could’ve written yourself in five.

Meanwhile, Jasper wants $59/month. Copy.ai wants $49. Writesonic wants $39. All promising to fix AI writing for marketers. But here’s the thing — the problem isn’t the AI. It’s the prompts.

A good prompt template does what those paid tools do: it structures your input so the AI actually understands your brand, your audience, and what you need. The difference is you’re not paying $50-100/month for a wrapper around the same AI models you already have access to.

I’ve put together 25 marketing prompt templates below, and they’re organized in a way I haven’t seen anywhere else: by funnel stage. Top of funnel awareness? Middle of funnel nurturing? Bottom of funnel conversion? Just scroll to where your customer is and grab the template you need.

But first — start with the Brand Foundation section. Seriously. Templates 1-3 are why most marketers get generic AI output and don’t even realize it.

If you want general-purpose prompts (not marketing-specific), check out our free AI prompt templates post with 20 templates for writing, coding, research, and more.

Brand Foundation (Start Here)

These three templates are the ones most people skip. That’s exactly why most AI marketing content sounds the same. Do these first, save the outputs, and reference them every time you use the other 22 templates.

1. Brand Voice Definer

Help me define and document my brand voice so I can use it consistently with AI tools.

Company: [company name]
Industry: [industry]
Target audience: [who you sell to  be specific about demographics, role, mindset]

Answer these questions to build my voice profile:

1. Brand personality (pick 3-5 adjectives): [e.g., confident, witty, no-nonsense, warm, technical]
2. We sound like: [a smart friend who happens to be an expert / a trusted advisor / a straight-talking coach  pick your analogy]
3. We always use: [words, phrases, or patterns you gravitate toward, e.g., "here's the thing," "let's be real," data-driven language]
4. We never use: [words or patterns to avoid, e.g., "synergy," "leverage," exclamation marks, corporate jargon, emojis]
5. Example sentence that sounds exactly like us: [paste a sentence from your best-performing content]
6. Our content makes readers feel: [empowered / informed / entertained / challenged]

Compile this into a Brand Voice Reference I can paste into future AI prompts. Format it as a concise block I can copy-paste as context.

This is the single most impactful thing you can do for your AI marketing workflow. Save the output. Paste it at the top of every other prompt you run. The difference between “generic AI copy” and “copy that sounds like us” is almost always this step.

For a deeper dive, our Brand Voice skill goes even further with tone mapping and style guidelines.

2. Ideal Customer Profile (ICP) Builder

Build a detailed Ideal Customer Profile for my business.

Product/service: [what you sell]
Industry: [your industry]
Current best customers: [describe 2-3 customers you love working with  what makes them great?]
Their biggest pain points: [what problems drive them to look for a solution like yours]
Where they spend time online: [LinkedIn, specific subreddits, YouTube channels, newsletters, communities]
What they've tried before you: [competitor tools, DIY solutions, doing nothing]
Budget range: [what they typically spend on solutions like yours]
Decision-making process: [solo buyer, committee, needs manager approval]

Create a detailed ICP that includes:
1. Demographic and firmographic profile
2. Psychographic profile (fears, ambitions, triggers)
3. Buying journey  what happens from problem awareness to purchase
4. Messaging that resonates vs. messaging that falls flat
5. Objections they'll raise and how to handle each one

Make this actionable  I want to reference it when creating campaigns.

3. Content Strategy Brief

Build me a content strategy for [time period, e.g., Q2 2026].

Business context:
- Goals this quarter: [e.g., generate 500 MQLs, launch new product, enter new market]
- Target audience: [paste your ICP or summarize it]
- Channels we're active on: [list all — blog, LinkedIn, email, YouTube, etc.]
- Brand voice: [paste your brand voice reference or summarize it]
- Topics our audience actively searches for: [list 5-10]
- Competitors to differentiate from: [name 2-3 and what they do well]
- Content we've published that performed best: [list top 3 pieces and why they worked]
- Content that flopped: [list 1-2 and your theory on why]

Create:
1. Three content pillars (themes) for the quarter with rationale
2. Content calendar framework — how many pieces per channel per week
3. Content mix by type (educational, promotional, engagement, thought leadership) with percentages
4. Distribution plan for each piece (where and how to repurpose)
5. KPIs to track per channel
6. Quick-win ideas we can publish in the first two weeks

Our Content Pillar Mapper skill is great for expanding on this once you’ve got your strategy set.

Top of Funnel — Awareness

You need eyeballs. These templates help you create content that gets found, gets shared, and gets people into your world.

4. Blog Post Outline + Draft

Topic: [topic]
Target audience: [paste ICP summary or describe reader]
Goal of this post: [educate them about X / rank for keyword Y / drive signups for Z]
Brand voice: [paste brand voice reference]
Primary SEO keyword: [keyword]
Secondary keywords: [2-3 related terms]
Our unique angle: [what we know or believe about this topic that our competitors don't cover]

5. Social Media Post (Multi-Platform)

Create social media posts about [topic, product announcement, or content piece to promote].

Platforms needed: [pick from: LinkedIn, X/Twitter, Instagram caption, TikTok caption, Facebook, Threads]
Campaign goal: [awareness / engagement / drive traffic to URL]
Target audience: [ICP summary]
Key message: [the one thing every post must communicate]
URL to include (if any): [link]

For EACH platform, write a post that:
- Opens with a platform-appropriate hook (pattern interrupt on X, story on LinkedIn, visual description on Instagram)
- Delivers the value or insight
- Ends with a CTA that fits the platform's culture
- Respects character limits and formatting norms
- Includes hashtag suggestions where appropriate

Give me 2 variations per platform so I can A/B test.

The Social Media Post Creator skill is purpose-built for this if you’re doing it daily.

6. LinkedIn Thought Leadership Post

Write a LinkedIn post that positions me as a thought leader.

My role: [title at company]
Topic: [industry insight, contrarian take, or lesson learned]
My personal experience with this: [a specific story, project, or moment that makes this real — not theoretical]
The lesson or insight: [what my audience should take away]
Brand voice: [paste reference — adapt for personal voice if this is from a founder/exec]
CTA: [start a conversation / comment their experience / follow for more / visit link]

Structure:
- Hook line that stops the scroll (question, bold claim, or unexpected opening)
- Personal story or observation (3-5 short paragraphs — LinkedIn rewards line breaks)
- The insight or lesson
- Ask the audience to engage

Do NOT use:
- "I'm humbled to announce"
- "Agree?" as a CTA
- More than 2 hashtags
- Corporate speak

This should read like a real person sharing a real thought, not a content marketer hitting their weekly post quota.

7. Video Script / Reel Hook

Write a video script for [platform: YouTube / TikTok / Instagram Reels].

Topic: [what the video is about]
Video length: [15 seconds / 30 seconds / 60 seconds / 3 minutes]

Brand voice: [paste reference]
On-camera talent: [founder / team member / voiceover with B-roll]

Write:
1. The hook (first 3 seconds — this makes or breaks the video)
2. The setup (why this matters to the viewer)
3. The payoff (the insight, tip, or reveal)
4. The CTA (natural, not forced)

Include visual/editing notes in [brackets] where relevant. Write for spoken delivery — short sentences, conversational rhythm, no written-essay phrasing.

8. SEO Content Brief

Create an SEO content brief for a piece targeting this keyword.

Target keyword: [primary keyword]
Search intent: [informational / commercial / transactional  check by Googling it]
Current top 3 results for this keyword: [paste titles and URLs, or describe what's ranking]
Our angle to beat them: [what we can offer that they don't — original data, better examples, more actionable advice, unique perspective]
Content type: [comprehensive guide / comparison / tutorial / listicle / tool roundup]
Target word count: [based on what's ranking — usually match or exceed top results]
Internal pages to link to: [list URLs]
External sources to reference: [studies, data, expert quotes]

Create:
1. Optimized title tag (under 60 characters, keyword near front)
2. Meta description (under 160 characters, includes keyword naturally)
3. URL slug suggestion
4. H2/H3 outline with target keywords for each section
5. "People Also Ask" questions to answer within the content
6. Featured snippet opportunity (identify which section could win the snippet and format accordingly)
7. Content gaps in competing articles we should fill

3. The Solution (what you did, without being overly salesy)
4. The Results (lead with the biggest number)
5. Key Takeaway (why this matters for similar companies)

Tone: confident, proof-driven, human. Not a press release.

10. Product Comparison Page

Write a comparison page: [your product] vs [competitor 1] vs [competitor 2].

Our product: [name and what it does]
Competitor 1: [name, what they do, pricing]
Competitor 2: [name, what they do, pricing]
Target audience: [who's comparing these options right now]

Comparison criteria:
- [Feature/capability 1]
- [Feature/capability 2]
- [Pricing and plans]
- [Ease of setup]
- [Customer support]
- [Integrations]
- [add your own]

Important: Be honest. Acknowledge where competitors are genuinely strong. Readers see through fake comparisons instantly, and honesty builds more trust than spin.

Write:
1. Brief intro acknowledging the reader's decision
2. Comparison table (feature by feature)
3. Detailed breakdown of each criterion
4. Who should choose what (segment by use case, company size, or priority)

4. Email #3 — Last chance (send day before, urgency without being spammy)
5. Social posts — 3 posts for [platforms], spaced across the 2-week promo window
6. Day-of reminder email (morning of event)

Each email needs: subject line, preview text, body copy, CTA button text.

12. Lead Magnet Copy

Write all the copy needed to promote my lead magnet.

Lead magnet type: [ebook / checklist / template / calculator / quiz / free tool]
Title: [working title]
The specific problem it solves: [be precise  "how to write better emails" is too vague, "how to write cold emails that get replies from VPs" is right]

What makes this genuinely valuable: [why would someone actually use this vs. ignoring it after download]
Brand voice: [paste reference]

Write:
1. Landing page headline (3 options  benefit-driven, curiosity-driven, specificity-driven)
2. Subheadline that expands the promise
3. 5 bullet points (what's inside — each one should make them want it more)
4. Social proof line (even if placeholder: "Join X marketers who downloaded this")
5. CTA button text (3 options  not just "Download Now")

- Email 2 (Day 3): Address their biggest objection or misconception
- Email 3 (Day 5): Share social proof  case study, testimonial, or data point
- Email 4 (Day 8): Introduce your solution naturally (not a hard sell)
- Email 5 (Day 12): Clear CTA with urgency or incentive

Keep emails scannable. No walls of text. Each one should take under 2 minutes to read.

For ongoing email work, the Email Marketing Automation skill handles everything from drip campaigns to segmentation strategy.

Bottom of Funnel — Conversion

The prospect is interested. These templates help you close the deal with copy that converts without being sleazy.

14. Landing Page Copy

Their likely pain point: [the specific problem I solve for people in their role]

The ask: [reply / book a 15-min call / try a free demo]
Max length: [under 100 words  seriously, shorter is better for cold email]

Write 3 variations:
- Version A: Lead with their pain point
- Version B: Lead with a relevant result/proof
- Version C: Lead with a question

Each version should:
- Have a subject line that gets opened (no clickbait, no "Quick question")
- Skip the "I hope this finds you well" preamble
- Get to the point in the first sentence

Also write a follow-up email for non-responders (send 3 days later, under 50 words).

- [Tier 2 name]: $[price]/mo — [who it's for]
- [Tier 3 name]: $[price]/mo — [who it's for]
(add or remove tiers as needed)

Feature breakdown: [list which features are in which tier]
Most popular tier: [which one and why]
Free trial available: [yes/no, how long]
Annual discount: [percentage off]
Brand voice: [paste reference]

Write:
1. Page headline (value-focused, not "Pricing")

What I'm asking for: [written testimonial / video testimonial / case study participation / review on G2/Capterra]
Brand voice: [casual and appreciative, not corporate]

Write an email that:
- Opens with genuine appreciation (specific, not "thanks for being a customer")
- References their success (shows you actually pay attention)
- Makes the ask clear and low-effort
- Provides specific prompts they can answer (don't make them figure out what to say):
  * What problem were you trying to solve?
  * What made you choose us?
  * What results have you seen?
  * What would you tell someone considering us?
- Gives them an easy out (no guilt if they decline)
- Offers to draft something for their approval if they're short on time

Keep it under 200 words. Nobody wants to read a novel before doing you a favor.

Retention and Growth

You already won the customer. These templates help you keep them, grow them, and turn them into advocates.

19. Customer Onboarding Email Sequence

Write an onboarding email sequence for new customers.

Product: [product/service name]
What the customer just bought/signed up for: [specific plan or product]

Email 3 (Day 5): Deeper engagement — the feature that makes power users stick
Email 4 (Day 9): Social proof — how other customers are using the product successfully
Email 5 (Day 14): Check-in — ask how it's going + surface underused features

Each email: subject line, preview text, body, single CTA.
Tone: helpful and proactive, not salesy. They already bought — now deliver on the promise.

20. Re-engagement Campaign

Write a re-engagement campaign for inactive users.

Segment: [users who haven't done X in Y days/weeks, e.g., "haven't logged in for 30 days"]
What they originally signed up for: [the value they were seeking]
What might have caused them to disengage: [common reasons — got busy, hit a wall, didn't see value fast enough, found alternative]
Incentive (if any): [discount, extended trial, free upgrade, exclusive content]
Brand voice: [paste reference]

Write:
1. Email #1 — Soft nudge: Acknowledge the gap without guilt-tripping. Remind them of value. One easy action to come back.
2. Email #2 (5 days later) — Value reminder: Share something new they missed (feature update, content, success story). No pressure.
3. Email #3 (10 days later) — Direct ask: Ask if they still want to hear from you. Include easy unsubscribe. If offering incentive, this is where it goes.

Also write: One "we miss you" push notification (under 50 characters) and one retargeting ad headline + copy.

Tone: human and respectful. "We miss your money" energy kills re-engagement. "We built something cool you might have missed" works.

Write an upsell email to an existing customer.

Current product they have: [plan name or product]
Recommended upgrade: [upsell product or higher tier]

Price difference: [current price vs upgrade price, or additional cost]
Social proof: [X% of customers on their plan eventually upgrade / "Company Y upgraded and saw Z results"]
Brand voice: [paste reference]

Write:
1. Subject line (3 options  one value-driven, one curiosity-driven, one personal)
2. Email body that:
   - Opens with something specific about their usage (personalization signal)
   - Names the limitation they're likely hitting
   - Introduces the upgrade as the natural next step (not a hard sell)
   - Lists 2-3 concrete benefits with specificity
   - Includes social proof
   - Ends with low-friction CTA (see plan details, not "buy now")
3. Follow-up email (3 days later, shorter, different angle)

22. Customer Feedback Survey

Create a customer feedback survey and all supporting copy.

Survey goal: [NPS score / CSAT measurement / product feedback / churn reason identification / feature prioritization]
Target audience: [all customers / specific segment, e.g., "customers on Pro plan for 3+ months"]
Timing: [post-purchase / quarterly / after support interaction / at cancellation]
Max questions: [5-8 — respect their time]
Incentive: [if any — gift card raffle, account credit]
Brand voice: [paste reference]

Write:
1. Email invitation — subject line + body (keep under 150 words, make clear it takes under 3 minutes)
2. Survey questions (mix of rating scales, multiple choice, and 1-2 open-ended)
3. Thank you message after completion (acknowledge their time, mention what you'll do with feedback)
4. If applicable: follow-up email for non-responders (1 week later, shorter, slightly different angle)

Question design principles:
- No leading questions ("How much do you love our product?")
- One question per question (no double-barrels)
- Rating scales should be consistent (all 1-5 or all 1-10)
- Put the most important question first
- Open-ended questions should be specific ("What's one thing you'd change?" not "Any feedback?")

Analytics and Strategy

AI is surprisingly good at analyzing campaign data and spotting patterns. Feed it your numbers, get back actionable insights.

23. Campaign Performance Analyzer

Analyze my campaign performance and tell me what to do next.

Campaign: [name and type  e.g., "Q1 LinkedIn Lead Gen Campaign"]

Analyze:
1. Overall performance vs. goal  did we hit it? By how much?
2. What worked  top-performing segments, creatives, audiences
3. What underperformed  and hypotheses on why
4. Cost efficiency  where we're overspending, where we're getting deals
5. Specific A/B test results and what they tell us
6. Three actions to take for the next campaign (prioritized by likely impact)
7. Recommended budget reallocation based on performance data

24. Competitor Content Audit

Help me audit a competitor's content strategy.

Competitor: [name and URL]
Their channels: [list  blog, LinkedIn, YouTube, newsletter, podcast, etc.]
Your product/brand for context: [what you sell, so the analysis is relevant]
Your channels: [where you're active]

I'll provide data (or you analyze their public presence). Examine:

1. Content themes  What topics do they publish about most? What are they known for?
2. Content formats  Blog posts, videos, podcasts, infographics, tools? What mix?
3. Publishing frequency  How often per channel?
4. Engagement patterns  What gets the most comments, shares, reactions? What flops?
5. SEO strategy  What keywords are they clearly targeting? Any featured snippets they own?
6. Messaging  How do they position themselves? What claims do they make?
7. Gaps  What are they NOT covering that their audience might want?
8. Tone comparison  How does their brand voice compare to ours?

Deliver:
- Summary of their strategy in 3 sentences
- Their top 3 strengths (be honest)
- Their top 3 weaknesses or gaps
- 5 specific content opportunities for us based on their gaps
- Any tactics worth borrowing (with our own spin)

25. Quarterly Marketing Plan

Build a quarterly marketing plan based on what I've learned.

Quarter: [e.g., Q2 2026]
Company goals this quarter: [e.g., reach 500 MQLs, launch V2, expand to new market segment]
Total marketing budget: [$X]
Team size: [who's available — e.g., 1 content marketer, 1 designer, freelance writer]

Performance data from last quarter:
- What worked: [top 3 channels/campaigns and why]
- What didn't: [bottom performers and your theory on why]
- Key metrics: [MQLs generated, CAC, pipeline value, whatever you track]

Active channels: [list all with current performance]
Brand voice: [paste reference]
ICP: [paste reference]

Build a plan that includes:
1. Channel-by-channel strategy with specific tactics (not vague "increase social presence")
2. Budget allocation by channel (with rationale based on last quarter's data)
3. Content themes by month (tied to business goals and seasonal relevance)
4. Campaign calendar — major initiatives mapped to timeline
5. Experiments to run (at least 2 new things to test)
6. KPIs per channel (specific numbers, not "improve engagement")
7. Resource allocation — who does what, where to outsource
8. Risk factors and contingency plans

Be realistic about what a [team size] team can execute. I'd rather do 5 things well than 15 things poorly.

How to Use These Templates

Step 1: Start with templates 1-3. Define your brand voice, build your ICP, and create your content strategy. These three outputs become the foundation you paste into every other prompt. Skip them and you’ll keep getting generic output. Do them once and everything else gets 10x better.

Step 2: Find your funnel stage. Know what you need — awareness, consideration, conversion, retention? Scroll to that section and grab the right template.

Step 3: Fill in every bracket. The brackets aren’t optional. Every [placeholder] you fill in with real detail makes the output significantly better. “Our product” gives you generic copy. “[Product name], a project management tool for remote design teams that integrates with Figma” gives you copy that sounds like you wrote it.

Step 4: Iterate. The first output is a draft, not a final product. Tell the AI “make the hook stronger,” “this sounds too corporate,” or “cut this by 40% and make it punchier.” The best marketers treat AI like a writing partner, not a vending machine.

Step 5: Use with any AI tool. These templates work with ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Copilot, or any other AI assistant. They’re structured prompts, not platform-specific features. That’s the whole point — you’re not locked into a $50/month tool.
