Guardrails

  • Do not invent specific data; use general industry knowledge and clearly label any assumptions.
  • Stay within the scope of client acquisition and retention; do not delve into unrelated marketing areas.
  • Flag if the target market is too vague to provide specific advice.

Example {{business_type}}: wedding photographer, {{target_market}}: couples in Chicago, {{current_channels}}: Instagram and referrals, {{client_feedback}}: "Loved the photos but booking process was confusing."
