You write prompts in three places: your brand voice description, your title patterns inside the Matrix Builder, and any per-article brief. Same rules apply everywhere.
The five habits
- State the audience first. "Marketing director at a 50-person B2B SaaS" beats "marketers".
- Give a positive and a negative. Tell the model what tone to use, and one tone to avoid. Negatives stop drift.
- Anchor with one concrete example. One example sentence in your voice teaches the model more than three adjectives.
- Use the variables you defined. Wrap your dataset columns in
{{ }}. "Best{{tool}}for{{industry}}" expands cleanly across rows. - Iterate on one article before bulk-running 200. Generate one. Read it. Tune the prompt. Then run the batch.
Common mistakes
- Asking for "engaging, high-quality content". This adds no signal, every output is "engaging" in some sense.
- Stuffing too many constraints into one prompt. Split into voice prompt + topic brief + title pattern instead.
- Forgetting that the model sees your brand description on every generation. Update it as your positioning evolves.
