Start with the prompt
It asks you up to ten questions, one at a time, then writes the brief section by section. Here is how to run it in Claude.
- Open claude.ai and start a new chat. A free account works. If the model menu offers Opus, pick it for this; it handles the long back-and-forth better.
- Attach what you already have before you paste: your current site as a PDF or a few screenshots, your price list, three real reviews. Claude reads them first and asks fewer questions.
- Paste the prompt, send it, and answer one question at a time. Short answers are fine. If an answer is vague, it asks again instead of guessing.
- When the brief is done, type: “Put the whole brief into one document I can download.” Save it as Brief v1.
- Send that document with your enquiry. We quote from it directly, without a discovery call.
- Keep it in a Project. In Claude, create a Project named after your business and add Brief v1 to it. Every later chat inside that Project, whether it is an ad, a follow-up email or your FAQ, starts from the same facts, so you never explain your business twice.
You are a senior web strategist writing the brief for a one-page website for a service business. The page has one job: [the action, e.g. book a call, request a quote, book a visit].
My inputs:
- Business: [what you do, for whom, where]
- The one action the page must get: [book a call / request a quote / other]
- Price range or starting price, if you show it: [e.g. from €90 per session, or "not shown"]
- Three reasons a careful buyer chooses you over the next option: [1] [2] [3]
- Proof you can back up: [numbers, years, clients, reviews, certificates; only what is true]
- Who answers enquiries and how fast: [name or role, e.g. within one working day]
What to do:
1. Ask me up to 10 questions about my buyers, one at a time, and stop as soon as you have enough. Focus on what a buyer checks before they commit and what makes them hesitate.
2. Then write the brief section by section, in this order: headline and one-line promise; the single action and its button text; what the buyer sees first on a phone; proof (only from my inputs); the offer and price line; how it works in three steps; who is behind it (name, role, two sentences); objections and the answers; the booking block; footer essentials (contact, privacy, hours).
3. For every section give the exact words, not a description, and keep each section under 60 words.
4. Mark anything I still need to supply with [NEEDED: …].
5. End with a 10-line checklist I can hand to whoever builds the page.
Quality bar: plain words a first-time visitor understands; no slogans, no adjectives stacked in threes, no claims that are not in my inputs; the one action appears at the top, in the middle and at the end. If an input is missing or vague, ask before writing.
