The top AI prompts to use for your agency

We've all been there before. You're sitting at your desk with an empty document open, basking in the blinding white light while your cursor blinks repeatedly. You have a title but not much else to work with. So, you open up Chrome, navigate to your AI chatbot of choice, and then... What?


It's been a year since OpenAI released their groundbreaking generative large language model chatbot, ChatGPT. Since then, several competing tools have entered the market, such as Google's Bard and Anthropic's Claude, all with the not-so-modest goal of revolutionizing how we gather information. However, each of these tools has a common Achilles' heel: your ability to prompt effectively. If you aren't sure what to ask or how to ask it, none of these tools can ever hope to be of help.


At Duda, we’ve designed our own AI Assistant in such a way that you don’t need to worry about prompting. Within the editor, you can lengthen, shorten, modify, and translate content with just the click of a button. When it comes to SEO, we take what you’ve already told us about your client’s business and combine it with on-page content to create high-quality titles and meta-descriptions in seconds.


Unfortunately, as much as we wish it wasn’t true, not all of life’s problems can be solved within the Duda editor. You may need help in other aspects of your agency’s business including content ideation, gap analysis, design, analytics analysis, and even development. For those tasks, you’ll need to master prompting.


Prompt writing best practices


Be polite


Even when speaking to LLMs, you need to follow the golden rule—treat others the way you want to be treated. Research has shown that these models are more likely to generate cooperative, respectful results when prompted courteously.


Be specific


Try to include every relevant detail when crafting your prompts. If possible, include examples or describe the tone in which you’d like to receive your answer. The more details you include, the less likely it is for the model to hallucinate.


Define roles


To better set the scene, define the role of the AI near the beginning of your prompt. For example, if you were seeking help with content creation for a roofing client, you may begin your prompt with “Act as if you are an expert copywriter with decades of experience in the roofing industry.”


Build on previous prompts


There’s no need to include all of this information within one prompt. In fact, if you’re using a tool like the free version of ChatGPT, you may not even be able to. Instead, spread your ideas out across multiple prompts—almost like a conversation. Set the scene first with supporting details and roles before moving on to your real questions.


Correct mistakes


These tools won’t always be right. When you spot a response that seems off, correct it. This can improve the quality of your conversation going forward, and will positively influence future prompts. Try not to put yourself in a position where you can’t recognize incorrect responses. If you’ve never typed a line of code in your life, be careful asking for an SEO audit script in Python (watch our instructional webinar instead).

AI prompts for content creation


One of the clearest use cases for generative AI is content creation. However, it's also one of the riskiest. Generating a two-thousand-word blog post with little oversight can lead to the inadvertent publication of low-quality, incorrect, or cookie-cutter content. Instead, utilize AI to enhance specific aspects of your content creation process, but not all at once.


Content ideation


Often the most difficult part of creating content, especially for clients, is understanding what to write in the first place. This is an area where AI excels. Start your session with prompts related to your client’s vertical and their audience, then ask for content ideas unique to their industry.


AI prompt
Act as if you are an expert copywriter with years of experience in the [vertical] industry. Using that experience, create a list of topics you would write for a [vertical] client's blog.


Outlining


You’ve got ideas, now it’s time to act on them. Use your AI tool of choice to help you craft an outline for your upcoming content based on a specific audience. Creating an outline is a great way to accelerate the content creation process without letting a model generate the whole piece.


AI prompt
Act as if you are an expert copywriter with years of experience in the [vertical] industry. You're writing an article titled "[content title]," targeting [audience]. Please share with me what an outline for that article might look like.


You can refine this prompt further with limits on the length of the article. For example, you may add another sentence that says “This article should not exceed four paragraphs.”


Keyword research


If you’re an agency with an SEO focus, you may want your content to target relevant keywords. With intelligent prompting, you can create a list of potential keywords related to your client’s industry that you can further explore with professional tools like Semrush or Moz.


AI prompt
Hello! Act as if you are an expert SEO with years of experience helping websites in the [vertical] industry rank on Google. Your newest client is preparing to write new content and needs a list of potential keywords relevant to the [vertical] industry. What keywords would you recommend?


Gap analysis


This prompt takes a little bit more leg work but can be worth the effort if you’re looking to flesh out your content portfolio. Using a list of all of your blog posts, you can ask your AI tool of choice to find any gaps in your content. Then, after finding those gaps, the model can recommend new content to write about.


AI prompt
Act as if you are an expert copywriter with years of experience helping businesses expand upon their own content portfolio. A client has approached you with a list of titles from their own blog. Given those titles, what additional topics would you write about? These are the blog titles: [titles]


If you are using a premium tool that supports uploading data, like ChatGPT Plus, you can upload those titles as a CSV instead or link directly to your RSS feed as a URL. If you don’t have access to all of your blog titles, consider extracting them from your blog’s RSS feed using Python or a free, open-source tool.


Spelling, grammar, and punctuation correction


Forget about autocorrect; AI takes things to the next level. By prompting your model to act as if it is a professional in the English language, you can have it review entire paragraphs for proper spelling, grammar, and punctuation. Understand that you may need to break this into several prompts if you need a lot of content reviewed.


AI prompt
Act as if you are a professional editor with years of experience reviewing and revising content in the English language. Without altering the tone, intent, or content, please review this text and correct any spelling, grammar, or punctuation errors: [your content]


AI prompts for website creation


Unless you’re a particularly boutique agency, you likely serve clients across many unique industries. When it comes time to sit down and build their website, this can pose unique problems. What pages should their site contain? How should it look? While Duda provides many templates to help you get started, there are still endless possibilities to the websites you can create. That’s where AI comes in.


Outlining a website


The foundation of any good website is a clear, logical structure. With the help of generative AI, you can easily craft the perfect structure for any client. In practice, you should modify this example prompt to include as many relevant details as possible. Your client may be extremely active in their local community, for example. This is an important detail to highlight on their website, so you should include it within the prompt.


AI prompt
Act as if you are a professional website builder with years of experience creating websites for [vertical] clients. You have just taken on a new [vertical] client who [additional client details]. Please share an outline of the website describing every page you include as well as a short two-sentence description of what each page might contain. Thank you!


Designing a website


You can use tools like ChatGPT to help you design a high-converting, industry-specific website. Start by asking what kind of colors and imagery are popular in that particular vertical. Keep in mind that this should only be a portion of your design research. Look at other successful websites as well, like our Made with Duda gallery.


AI prompt
Act as if you are a professional website builder with years of experience creating websites for [vertical] clients. You have just taken on a new [vertical] client who [additional client details]. Please describe to me how you would design their website to maximize conversions, engagement, and consumer trust. Be specific with details regarding the color, tone, imagery, and more. Please make sure your answers are specific to the [vertical] industry. Thank you!


Crafting site copy


It can be difficult to write relevant copy about industries you aren’t familiar with. While it can be tempting to offload this work to AI, this is actually where you should be the most careful. If you aren’t familiar with their industry, incorrect answers may slip by. Instead, use this prompt judiciously. Ask for examples, but verify everything you read with additional research. Remember, AI is here to save you time—not do all the work for you.


AI prompt
Act as if you are a professional website builder with years of experience creating websites for [vertical] clients. You have just taken on a new [vertical] client who [additional client details]. Please write sample copy for their [landing page] page, specific to the [vertical] industry. Thank you!


Make your own AI prompts


These prompts only scratch the surface of what’s possible with artificial intelligence. We’ve hosted many webinars on the subject, ranging from content creation to SEO. While these are excellent resources, the best prompts are going to be the ones you craft specifically for your own unique problems.

One of the greatest challenges for SaaS platforms is keeping users engaged long-term. The term “stickiness” refers to a product's ability to retain users and make them want to return. In the context of SaaS platforms, creating a sticky product means that users consistently find value, experience seamless interactions, and continue using the product over time. The following are 7 practical strategies you can take to improve the stickiness of your SaaS solution. 1. Offer websites that help customers build their digital presence One of the most effective ways to make your SaaS platform sticky is by offering websites to your users. Many businesses today need an online presence, and by providing a platform where your customers can easily build and manage their websites, you increase their reliance on your product. When you offer users a website-building solution, you’re helping them create something foundational to their business. Websites, in this case, aren’t just a tool—they become a part of their identity and brand. This deepens their engagement with your platform, as they need your product to maintain and update their site, ultimately making them less likely to churn. Plus, websites naturally encourage frequent updates, content creation, and customer interactions, which means your users will return to your platform regularly. When you can give your users the tools to create something so essential to their business, you make them more dependent on your platform. This creates a higher barrier to exit, as migrating a fully built website to another service is no small task. In fact, websites are some of the stickiest products you can sell, so adding them to your product portfolio can be one of the best decisions you can to keep your customers using your technology for the long haul. 2. Deliver continuous value through product innovation The key to keeping users coming back to your SaaS platform is ensuring that they consistently see value in it. This means not only meeting their immediate needs but also evolving to address their growing demands. Constant product innovation is essential for keeping your users satisfied and invested in your platform. One way to achieve this is through regular updates that add new features or improvements based on user feedback. A SaaS platform that evolves with its users will keep them engaged longer, making it harder for competitors to steal their attention. Encourage user feedback and prioritize updates that create tangible improvements. This creates an ongoing relationship with your users, which boosts stickiness. 3. Offer a multi-product solution Another powerful way to increase your platform’s stickiness is by offering a suite of products or features that integrate well together. When your users adopt multiple products, they are more likely to stay because they become embedded in your ecosystem. The benefits of this strategy are clear. Research shows that once users adopt more than one product, especially when they integrate >4 tools into their workflow, their likelihood of churn decreases significantly. This happens because the more a user integrates into your suite of products, the harder it is for them to switch to a competitor. These users have invested time in learning your ecosystem and rely on it for their day-to-day operations, making it much harder for them to make the switch. 4. Create a personal connection with your users Human connection is one of the most powerful drivers of user retention. People don’t want to feel like they’re using a cold, faceless platform. By offering exceptional customer support, personalized communication, and community engagement, you build a relationship with your users that goes beyond the product itself. Make sure your support team is responsive, knowledgeable, and empathetic. You can also consider offering tailored onboarding experiences to ensure users understand how to make the most of your platform. When users feel like their success matters to you, they are more likely to remain loyal. 5. Leverage data to personalize the user experience Using data to drive personalization is another strategy that can significantly increase the stickiness of your platform. By tracking user behavior and usage patterns, you can tailor the experience to each individual user’s needs. This could mean recommending features they haven’t yet explored or sending them reminders about tools they may not be fully utilizing. Personalization gives users the feeling that the platform was designed specifically for them, making it harder to walk away from. By demonstrating that you understand their unique needs, you can build a stronger connection and ultimately increase retention rates. 6. Focus on seamless integrations and API capabilities To further increase stickiness, consider expanding your product’s ability to integrate with other tools your users already rely on. Whether it’s email marketing software, CRM systems, or social media management tools, seamless integrations add tremendous value by making it easier for users to incorporate your platform into their existing workflows. The more your product can work in tandem with other popular tools, the more indispensable it becomes. In fact, users who depend on integrations are less likely to churn since their entire ecosystem is tied to your platform’s functionality. 7. Encourage user advocacy and community building User advocacy is another powerful tool in building a sticky product. When users feel a sense of community or even ownership over the platform, they become your most passionate promoters. Encourage your users to share their success stories, join community forums, or contribute to product development through beta testing or feedback loops. A thriving user community not only increases user engagement but also creates a sense of loyalty. When users are part of something larger than themselves, they are more likely to remain committed to your platform, reducing churn and increasing lifetime value. Create deep, lasting customer relationships Making your SaaS platform sticky is all about creating a deep, lasting connection with your users. This requires building a platform that continuously delivers value, creating a seamless and personalized experience, and integrating features that keep users coming back. By focusing on product innovation, offering a multi-product ecosystem, and fostering strong user relationships, you’ll be well on your way to reducing churn and boosting user retention. Stickiness isn’t just a nice-to-have; it’s essential for long-term success. Focus on creating a platform that users can’t imagine living without, and you’ll see them stick around for the long haul.
