But to show Promptmate’s ability to handle all of them at the same time, in this article I’ll guide you through the process the goes through all of them. Let’s jump right in!

Input

All you require as input are the URL of your prospect’s website and your LinkedIn profile URL. For this demonstration, I’ve chosen to utilize an ecommerce website and my own LinkedIn profile.

Prompt 1: Analyzing Messaging and Value Proposition

The initial prompt may seem straightforward, but it efficiently serves its purpose. With Promptmate’s Webpage Content / Screenshot extender, we gain the capability to scrutinize the content of the website and assess both the messaging and the value proposition conveyed on the web page.

Prompt 2: Analyzing Relevance of Content

With the help of another prompt, we’ll dig into how relevant the content is and ensure it hits the mark by addressing the specific pain points of our target audience.

Prompt 3: SEO Analysis

Utilizing Promptmate’s data extenders, specifically “Get Ranking Keyword for URL” and “Google Ads Search Volume,” we can pinpoint existing keywords on the webpage, analyze their search volume and difficulty, and even offer suggestions for new keywords, including long-tail variations.

For the fourth prompt, we’ll focus on technical aspects like mobile responsiveness, loading speed, and identifying any broken links. This comprehensive analysis will be made possible through Promptmate’s “PageSpeed Insights” data extender.

Prompt 5: Linkedin Profile Summary

For the fifth prompt, we’ll leverage Promptmate’s LinkedIn Profile data extender to craft a summary highlighting our expertise and the value we bring based on the content of our LinkedIn profile. This will enable the AI to generate an email that resonates with the prospect by showcasing our expertise.

Prompt 6: Email Body Text

Building upon the insights gathered from the previous prompts, prompt 6 functions as a cold email expert, crafting the email body text for us. It utilizes the results obtained from the preceding prompts as input to fulfill its task when it comes to our cold prospecting campaign.

Prompt 7: Email Subject

Drawing from the email body text generated in prompt 6, prompt 7 will generate a compelling email subject for us. Having a separate prompt dedicated to this aspect is valuable for our Zapier integration, as it ensures focused attention on crafting an engaging subject line.

Prompt 8: Extracting email from the prospect’s website

Finding the email on the prospect’s website was a bit tough at first. Using the Webpage content data extender only looked at the homepage, which often didn’t have the email. So, I tried something different. Instead of that, I used our Google Organic SERP extractor. But instead of a keyword, I put in the prospect’s website, “email” before it, and “@” after it. And it worked!

The final step is the “Action” step, which is straightforward. Each action step corresponds to a prompt result generated from Promptmate. Here’s how it works:

  • For the “Subject,” use Promptmate’s Prompt 7 result, which generated the email subject for our cold email.
  • Under “To,” utilize Prompt 8, which found the company’s email using data from Google SERP, thanks to Promptmate’s Google SERP data extender.
  • Choose your own email as the “From” address, from which you’d like to send the email.
  • For the “Body,” select the prompt that generated the body text of the email. And that’s it!
