Act as a digital PR copywriter whose cold pitches run open rates above 30% and reply rates above 15%. The pitch must survive the three-second inbox purge, so every element earns its place.

Write a complete four-element cold pitch, made of a subject line, hook, payload, and sign-off, for one specific journalist. Give me all of this:
● A subject line of 10 words or fewer in news-headline style.
● An email body of 100 words or fewer: a one-sentence hook naming a specific recent article, a one-sentence payload delivering the headline data and why it matters this week, and a one-sentence sign-off offering raw data or an interview.
● The body word count, and three alternate subject lines for A/B testing.

As you write it:
● Keep the body to 100 words or fewer and the subject line to 10 words or fewer.
● Make the hook name a specific recent article, not "your recent work".
● Do not use "Hope this finds you well", "I came across your work", or "I wanted to reach out".
● Do not ask for a link directly; the payload offers value and the journalist decides.

My details: [Insert the journalist's name and publication, the recent article for the hook, your headline statistic, and the audience need driving urgency this week.]

View prompt

Act as a data visualisation designer who has produced citation-grade chart packages for B2B research reports. Modular graphics earn image-credit links, and a transparent methodology makes high-authority editors comfortable linking.

Specify the modular visual assets and the methodology section for my data asset. Give me the answer in two parts:
● Three to five chart specifications, ranked by how likely a journalist is to embed each. For every chart give the type, the data shown with named axes or categories, the one-sentence headline, the embed dimensions, the file format, and the attribution baked into the image.
● A methodology section of 300 to 500 words, to be pasted into the page verbatim, with paragraphs on sample and collection details, the data source, known limitations, and how to cite the report.

As you build it:
● Output three to five chart specs, no more.
● Bake attribution into every chart image so it survives a screenshot.
● State at least one explicit limitation in the methodology section.
● Do not recommend dense infographics that pack 10 or more stats onto one image.

My details: [Insert your data findings, the headline statistic from Prompt 10, and a one-paragraph description of the page layout.]

Act as a content editor who has audited data-asset pages against the four-element citation framework: a hero stat, modular visuals, a transparent methodology, and a press-ready summary. Miss one and you lose citations to a weaker competitor.

Audit my draft data-asset page against the four-element framework and rank the fixes by impact on citation rate. Give me the answer in three parts:
● A scorecard table with columns element, present yes or no, quality score 1 to 5, and what is broken in 25 words or fewer, with rows for the hero statistic, modular visuals, methodology section, and press-ready summary.
● A total score out of 20.
● A punch list of at most six fixes, ranked by impact, each a concrete action with an estimated time.

As you write it:
● Make every "what is broken" note point to a specific part of my draft, not generic advice.
● End with a one-line bottom line naming the cutoff item to ship after, set at item three or lower.

My details: [Insert your draft data-asset page: the hero section, body, methodology, and footer copy, with any visuals described in brackets, such as "[chart: bar chart of X by Y]".]

View prompt

Act as a market research methodologist whose small-budget surveys have been cited by tier-1 business publications. Cheap surveys are easy to dismiss; the discipline is methodological rigour at small scale.
Design a complete micro-survey for my chosen data angle. Give me all of this:
● The single provocative question, 25 words or fewer, written exactly as the respondent will see it.
● The answer format, whether single-select, multi-select, a 1-to-5 scale, or open-ended, plus the answer options where they apply.
● Three or more screening criteria that decide who qualifies.
● A sample-size recommendation of at least 200 respondents, with a one-sentence rationale on margin of error.
● A platform recommendation with a one-sentence rationale, and an estimated total cost below $500.
● A press-ready methodology paragraph naming specific values for sample size, screening, geography, collection dates, and platform.
As you design it:
● Keep total cost under $500; if a design runs over, cut sample size before screening rigour.
● Do not write a leading or loaded question; flag and rewrite any draft that primes the respondent.
My details: [Insert the data angle you chose from Prompt 7 or 8, the respondent profile you need such as role, industry, geography, and company size, and the hypothesis you want to test.]

Act as a direct-response copywriter who writes hero stats for data-asset landing pages. A journalist with 90 seconds scans for one citable number at the top and copies a summary at the bottom.

Write the hero statistic and press-ready summary block for my data asset. Give me all of this:
● A hero statistic of 25 words or fewer, one plain sentence, with a specific number, unit, population, and time window.
● Three alternate hero phrasings for A/B testing.
● A press-ready summary of 60 words or fewer, written so a journalist can paste it verbatim, naming the company, what it did, a primary and secondary finding, and a one-phrase methodology note.
● A copy-paste line of 20 words or fewer that works as a single sentence inside another article.

As you write it:
● Make the hero statistic carry a specific number; do not use "many" or "most".
● Do not use "revolutionary", "game-changing", "unprecedented", or any other hype adjective.
● Do not make a claim the data does not support.

My details: [Insert the top three to five findings from your data asset, each with the number, unit, population, and time window, plus sample size, collection dates, and source.]

Act as a data marketing strategist who has turned internal company data into reports cited by major business publications. Almost every business sits on proprietary data it has not realised is citable.

● Data-angle name.
● The specific data points needed from my internal system.
● The target publisher type.
● The lead headline statistic, phrased as a specific number and unit, such as "22% increase in X between A and B".
● The anonymisation requirement for that angle.
As you build it:
● Output exactly 10 angles, not eight and not 12.
● Do not propose an angle that needs data I cannot access internally.
● Do not expose customer-identifiable information without anonymisation; state the requirement in every row.
● Aim no more than two angles at the same publisher type.
● After the table, rank the three highest-impact picks, one sentence each.
My details: [Insert your industry and business model, the kinds of internal data you hold such as transactions, behaviour logs, support tickets, and survey responses, and your typical customer profile.]

● Dataset name and URL.
● The reframing angle.
● The specific headline finding the asset would surface.

● After the table, name the single quickest win and why it is the lowest-effort, fastest-traction option.
My details: [Insert your industry, the geographic markets you serve, and the audience that would care about your reframed story, such as B2B buyers or journalists in a named vertical.]

Act as a Search Console operations lead who has submitted more than 50 disavow files. Recovery from a toxic-link penalty usually takes 4 to 8 weeks, because the search engine has to re-crawl the affected domains.
Produce the exact disavow file text I will upload to Search Console, plus a short internal memo that sets realistic recovery expectations for a non-technical stakeholder. Give me the answer in two parts:
● The disavow file: one line per domain, each line using the "domain:" prefix, headed by three comment lines noting the date, the property, and the total domain count.
● The stakeholder memo, 200 words or fewer, in plain English, with three short paragraphs on what the disavow does, the realistic 4-to-8-week timeline, and what you will monitor weekly.
As you write it:
● Use the "domain:" prefix for every entry, not raw URLs.
● Include only domains carrying a Disavow verdict in my input.
● Do not promise a specific traffic-recovery percentage, and keep the memo free of hype or apology.
My details: [Insert the Disavow-verdict rows from Prompt 5, each with the domain and one-line reason, plus your property name and the date.]

Act as a link-network forensic specialist who has mapped more than 30 private blog networks. A disguised network link looks clean on the surface; the giveaways are infrastructural, not visual. Identify the domains in my backlink profile that are probable private-blog-network participants and rank them by likelihood. Give me a table ranked by probability, with these columns:
● Domain.
● Shared-IP-cluster signal, yes or no.
● Outbound-link incoherence signal, yes or no, such as a casino link beside a dental clinic.
● Templated or thin content signal, yes or no.
● Network probability of low, medium, or high, and why it is suspicious in 25 words or fewer, citing a specific signal.
As you build it:
● Flag a domain only when at least two of the three signals are present.
● Show at most 20 domains, ranked by probability.
● Do not auto-recommend a disavow; this prompt only ranks for triage.
● After the table, name the most common signal, the suspected source, and the top domains for the Prompt 5 triage.
My details: [Insert a referring-domain export with, for each domain, the domain, hosting IP if known, three to five outbound links from recent posts, and a one-line content description.]

View prompt

Act as a Google Search Console specialist who has processed disavow files for sites recovering from penalties. Dumping every flagged link into the file kills legitimate citations, so each domain must pass all three triage gates.
Apply the three-step disavow triage to each flagged domain from Prompts 1 through 4. Give me a triage table with these columns:
● Domain.
● Gate 1, passed a manual review, yes or no.
● Gate 2, has zero organic traffic and zero ranking keywords, yes or no.
● Gate 3, part of an obvious large-scale manipulation pattern, yes or no.
● Verdict of Disavow or Leave, and a reason in 20 words or fewer naming the gates passed or failed.
As you build it:
● Mark a domain Disavow only when all three gates pass; any single failure means Leave.
● Do not mark a domain Disavow on a low authority score alone, or one that ranks for any legitimate term.
● After the table, give the totals flagged, to disavow, and to leave. If the disavow count is zero, say so and recommend monitoring for 30 days.
My details: [Insert the domains flagged across Prompts 1 to 4, each with the domain, which prompt flagged it and why, and any evidence gathered so far.]
