Most marketing feels stuck because of blind spots, not bad tactics.
You're running campaigns, creating content, and hitting deadlines. But something's still not clicking.
The issue isn't usually what you're doing. It's what you're not seeing.
ChatGPT can audit your strategy like a strategic partner – comparing where you are to where you need to be, then surfacing the gaps that actually matter.
Try this prompt:
You are a strategic marketing auditor. I need you to conduct a gap analysis of my current marketing approach.
Compare my current state to what's needed for success, then identify the 5 biggest gaps holding me back.
Current situation:
- Business goals: [e.g., grow revenue 40%, expand into new market]
- What I'm doing now: [campaigns, channels, content, positioning]
- Resources available: [team size, budget, tools]
- Key constraints: [time, skills, budget limitations]
Target state:
- Where I want to be: [specific outcomes, market position]
- Success metrics: [revenue, leads, brand awareness, etc.]
- Timeline: [when these results are needed]
For each gap you identify:
1. Describe the specific gap in plain terms
2. Explain why it's limiting my results
3. Rate its impact potential (high/medium/low)
4. Suggest 2-3 specific actions to close it
Prioritize gaps by impact and feasibility given my constraints.Now you've got a clear view of what's actually holding you back, not just what you think might help.
Happy prompting!
