Prompt Writing 101: How to Get the Best Out of AI Content Tools

Struggling With AI Content? It’s Not the Tool—It’s the Prompt

If you’ve used tools like ChatGPT or Jasper and ended up with content that sounds… off—you’re not alone.

AI content tools are powerful, but they’re only as good as the instructions you give them. That’s why AI content prompt writing is the real secret to getting results.

Whether you’re a plumber writing a service page, an HVAC tech crafting Facebook ads, or a roofer trying to create a blog post—learning to write better prompts will save you hours and produce content that actually works.

The Quick Fix: Prompt Writing Tips That Actually Work

Think of your AI tool like an assistant. If you give it vague instructions, you’ll get vague content.

Here’s how to instantly level up your prompts:

  • Be specific about your audience. (“Write for homeowners in Calgary looking for roof repair.”)
  • Tell it the format. (“Write a short Facebook ad headline and caption.”)
  • Give it a goal. (“This content should convince people to book a free quote.”)
  • Mention the tone. (“Keep it professional but friendly.”)
  • Limit the length. (“Keep this under 100 words.”)

The more clarity you give, the better the output. Don’t just say, “Write a blog post.” Say, “Write a 500-word blog post on why HVAC maintenance matters in winter for Toronto homeowners.”

Why It Matters: Better Prompts = Better Leads

When your content is well-written, it:

  • Ranks better on Google
  • Builds more trust with your audience
  • Converts more visitors into leads
  • Sounds like you—not a robot

AI can absolutely help you grow. But without the right prompt, it’s like asking a stranger to write your brochure with no direction. You’ll end up editing more than you’re saving.

What Makes a Great Prompt?

Here’s a quick formula we follow:

[Who + What + Why + Tone + Length]

Example:

“Write a 150-word homepage intro for a solar installation company in Ottawa. Target homeowners. Tone: confident, local, and trustworthy. Goal: get people to request a free quote.”

That prompt will get 10x better results than:

“Write a solar business intro.”

Don’t Waste Time With Weak Prompts

The difference between a good prompt and a bad one is the difference between content that converts—and content that confuses.

With better AI prompt writing, you can:

  • Create social media posts in minutes
  • Draft service pages that rank
  • Launch ads faster
  • Reduce writer’s block
