Create a monthly reputation monitoring checklist for [business name]. Include: where to check for new reviews (Google, Facebook, Yelp, BBB, Nextdoor), how quickly to respond, who on the team is responsible, how to track review velocity month over month, what star rating thresholds trigger an escalation, and how to celebrate wins with the team. One-page format.

Pro tip: Save your 10 most-used prompts as custom instructions or a pinned document in your AI tool of choice. Then you can call them up with a single phrase like "run intake prompt for new lead" without typing the full thing every time. This is the difference between AI being useful and AI being transformative for your business.

Frequently Asked Questions

What AI tool should I use for these prompts? +

These prompts work with ChatGPT (GPT-4o), Claude, and Google Gemini. For most business tasks, ChatGPT-4o or Claude Sonnet offer the best balance of quality and speed. Use the free tier to start — most of these prompts work well on free versions. Upgrade to a paid plan ($20/month) if you are using AI daily for your business.

How do I customize these prompts for my specific business? +

Replace the bracketed placeholders (like [business type], [city], [service]) with your actual details every time you use a prompt. For best results, also add a system prompt at the start of your session telling the AI about your business: "I run a [type] business in [city]. My ideal customer is [description]. My tone is [professional/casual/friendly]."

Can I use these prompts every month for new content? +

Yes. Most of these prompts are designed to be reused with different inputs. A social media prompt you use in May can be used again in June with a different topic or seasonal angle. The prompts are frameworks, not one-time uses.

Should I post AI-generated content without editing it? +

We recommend always reviewing and lightly editing AI output before it goes to customers or is published. AI drafts are usually 80–90% there — a quick read-through to add your voice, catch any inaccuracies, and adjust for your specific situation takes 2–3 minutes and produces much better results than posting raw AI output.

How is a done-for-you AI setup different from using these prompts myself? +

Using these prompts yourself requires you to remember to use them, adapt them over time, and execute the work. A done-for-you AI setup from AI Business Growth builds these workflows into automated systems — so review requests go out automatically, content gets generated on a schedule, and your team has trained tools that run without you having to think about it.

Want These Set Up as Automated Systems?

These prompts are powerful on their own — but when they are built into automated workflows that run without you thinking about them, that is when AI actually changes your business. We do that setup for service businesses for a one-time fee.
