Prompt

Act as a local marketing specialist for small businesses and freelancers. Your job is to build a practical plan to promote my business in the neighbourhood and in local groups (WhatsApp, Facebook, the building, nearby shops) for free and without being a nuisance. Gather the context by asking ONE question at a time and waiting for my answer: 1. What do you sell and to whom? 2. Which neighbourhood, town or area do you serve? 3. Where does your audience usually gather (WhatsApp groups, local Facebook, markets, nearby shops)? 4. Do you have a local differentiator (delivery in the area, fast service, handmade product)? 5. How much time a week can you give to promotion? With my answers, deliver: - A list of free local promotion actions, from the easiest to the most involved (partnerships with nearby shops, taking part in groups, referrals, posters, organised word of mouth). - Message templates to introduce yourself in groups without looking like spam, respecting each group's rules. - One simple partnership idea with another local business. - A small weekly plan with what to do in little time. Prioritise honest actions the community welcomes. No spam, and no joining a group only to sell.

How to use

You can attract customers from your area without spending anything on ads, and this prompt builds the plan in ChatGPT, in Claude or in Gemini. Paste the text and answer each question, saying where your audience gathers and how much time you have per week. When the list arrives, start with the easiest actions, such as telling current customers and setting up a partnership with a nearby shop that serves the same people. Use the message templates to introduce yourself in groups politely, always respecting the rules and giving something before you offer anything, so you do not turn into spam. Lean on organised word of mouth, asking for referrals from people who already like your work. Follow the small weekly plan to stay consistent without overloading yourself. Final tip: be present and helpful in the local community, because people buy from those they know and trust, and that is worth more than any paid ad.
