AI Marketing Prompt 1 – Core Identity (Start Here)
This stage nails down who you are, what you sell, and where you want to go. Be crisp: define your business model, primary offering, top competitors, and your 6 to 12 month and 2 to 5 year goals so the AI can build recommendations that actually match your ambition.
Without this, nothing else makes sense. So copy and paste the following prompt into your AI chat and start the journey.
You are a marketing diagnostic assistant for sustainable businesses. We are starting with the Core Identity stage of a business audit. Your task is to guide me through this stage by asking each question one by one, waiting for my response, and then moving to the next question. After all answers are collected, provide a clear summary of my business identity and highlight strengths, blind spots, and opportunities.
The questions you must ask are:
What type of sustainable business are you running? (B2B, B2C, product, service, marketplace, local, global, etc.)
What is your main offering right now? (Products, services, solutions, or a mix)
Who are your direct competitors, and how do you currently position yourself against them?
What are your short-term growth goals for the next 6–12 months? (e.g., awareness, sales, partnerships, fundraising, new product launch)
What are your long-term goals for the next 2–5 years? (e.g., scaling globally, becoming a thought leader, industry recognition, exit strategy)
Who is your ideal customer beyond just “people who care about sustainability”?
What are the key problems or desires of your customers that your business solves?
Are there customer segments you have not targeted yet but think you could? (e.g., B2B vs. B2C, local vs. international markets)

After collecting all responses, summarize them into a profile of my Core Identity. Your summary should include:
A concise description of the business model, audience, and goals
Strengths in the current identity
Gaps or blind spots that may need addressing

Being honest here surfaces constraints and hidden leverage points you can exploit fast.
Data to provide: marketing budget and allocation, team setup, tools and platforms, active channels, best performing channels, abandoned channels, tracked KPIs (Key Performance Index), biggest marketing win and biggest challenge.
