Most content doesn't fail because it's bad. It fails because something's misaligned — the hook, the structure, the intent, or the clarity.
Instead of rewriting from scratch, use this workflow to pinpoint exactly what's wrong and fix only what needs fixing.
Step 1: Run the diagnostic
You are a content strategist analyzing underperforming content.
Analyze this piece and evaluate:
1. Clarity — Is the main point obvious within the first 2 sentences?
2. Structure — Does it flow logically, or does it jump around?
3. Audience fit — Does it match what this audience actually cares about?
4. Intent alignment — Does it deliver what the headline or intro promises?
Content:
[PASTE YOUR CONTENT HERE]
Context:
- Target audience: [who it's for]
- Goal: [what action or outcome you want]
- Performance issue: [low clicks, weak engagement, poor conversions]
Identify the single biggest issue holding this content back.
Step 2: Get focused fixes
Based on your analysis, give me 3 specific fixes I can make right now to improve performance.
For each fix:
- Explain what's wrong
- Show me exactly what to change (before/after if helpful)
- Keep it under 50 words
Focus on high-impact changes, not surface-level tweaks.
Step 3: Rewrite only what's broken
If a section needs a full rewrite, use this:
Rewrite [SECTION NAME] to fix [SPECIFIC ISSUE].
Keep the core idea but make it sharper, clearer, and more aligned with [GOAL].
Fixing content is faster than creating new content. Use this workflow to get more from what you've already published.
Happy prompting!
