AI PROMPT

Content Pillar Clarity

If your content covers too much, the algorithm gets confused—and so does your audience.

To grow, your content needs clarity and consistency around a few core themes: your pillars.

This prompt helps you define the main content pillars you should focus on—based on what’s working, what you’re known for/want to be known for, and who you want to attract.

Fill in the brackets, then paste into ChatGPT:

"I'm a [insert role/business] in the [insert niche/industry], and I want to define my main content pillars.

Please ask me the minimum necessary questions one by one (not all at once) to help me:

- Identify what I’m known for or what content has worked.

- Define what I want to be known for.

- Clarify who I want to attract and what they care about.

- Distill it into 3–5 clear content pillars that align with my goals."
