Online Deep Dive
A broader and more forensic review of the business's public online presence.
Use this when the broad sanity check suggests several areas deserve closer investigation.

The prompt, explained
The boring details, for anyone interested in the engineering behind the prompt. If you just want to get on with it, here you go.
Explore important areas identified in a sanity check in greater depth while still keeping the review connected to real customer behaviour.
This is how we make code look impressive
- 1
Language and tone
SharedKeeps the answer clear, positive and understandable. It prevents the AI from hiding simple ideas behind jargon or presenting useful criticism as a fault-finding exercise.
language-and-tone.partial1Write in clear, unambiguous, plain English.
2Assume the reader runs a business and may have no specialist knowledge of marketing, websites, search engines, analytics or social media.
3Do not use jargon when an ordinary word or short phrase will do.
4If a technical or specialist term is genuinely necessary, use the term, explain it immediately in plain English, explain why it matters here, and provide a reliable reference confirming the meaning.
5Keep the framing positive, balanced and constructive.
6Where something is working, say so before describing the issue or risk that remains.
7Do not soften a serious issue so much that it becomes unclear.
8The aim is to eliminate ambiguity and create clarity.
- 2
Evidence and certainty
SharedStops the AI from presenting guesses as facts. It makes the report show what was actually found, what is a reasonable interpretation, and what could not be confirmed.
evidence-and-certainty.partial1Use publicly available information you can actually find.
2For important factual claims, provide the source used to confirm them.
3Clearly distinguish between Observed, Inferred and Not verified.
4Never present an inference as a confirmed fact.
5Do not invent missing information.
6Do not imply that you tested, visited, clicked, searched or verified something unless you actually did.
7Do not treat absence from search results as proof that something does not exist.
- 3
Source hierarchy
SharedEncourages the AI to use the most reliable explanation available instead of casually relying on marketing blogs or unsupported opinion.
source-hierarchy.partial1Prefer references in this order:
21. Official provider or platform documentation where the subject relates to a specific service or product.
32. A recognised neutral reference such as Wikipedia for general concepts.
43. Another authoritative source only when the first two are not suitable.
- 4
Map the online presence
Builds a simple map of where the business appears online before judging any individual channel.
presence-map.partial1Find the main public places where [BUSINESS NAME] appears online: website, Google Business Profile, major social accounts, directories, review platforms and other relevant listings.
2Start from [KNOWN LINKS] and expand from there.
3Separate confirmed official profiles from likely or unverified matches.
4Note obvious duplicates, abandoned profiles or conflicting representations.
- 5
When someone searches for the business
Looks at what a person who already knows the business name will encounter.
branded-search.partial1Search for [BUSINESS NAME] and common variations of that name.
2Describe the main results a potential customer is likely to encounter.
3Check whether official information is easy to distinguish from directories, reviews or unrelated results.
- 6
When someone searches for the service
Looks at discovery by need rather than by business name.
service-search.partial1Search for [MAIN PRODUCTS / SERVICES] using realistic customer language.
2Include relevant local search combinations using [LOCATION].
3Note whether the business appears, what kinds of competitors or directories dominate, and any obvious discovery gap.
- 7
What role does the website play?
Checks whether the website is acting as the useful centre of the online presence without turning this into the dedicated Website Audit.
website-role.partial1Assess whether [WEBSITE], if present, clearly supports discovery, understanding, trust and customer action.
2Flag areas that deserve a dedicated Website Audit rather than performing that audit here.
- 8
What role does social media play?
Looks at whether the business's social accounts have useful jobs rather than simply counting posts.
social-role.partial1Identify the main social channels and the apparent role of each.
2Look for useful recent activity, abandoned channels, duplication or unclear purpose.
3Recommend a platform-specific audit only where there is a clear reason.
- 9
Reviews and public reputation
Looks for repeated public signals about customer experience without treating reviews as perfect evidence.
reviews-reputation.partial1Find relevant public review sources.
2Summarise recurring positive and negative themes without over-weighting isolated reviews.
3Note review recency, obvious response patterns and gaps worth investigating.
4Do not infer the truth of disputed individual claims from reviews alone.
- 10
Is the business represented consistently?
Checks whether customers see the same basic facts and proposition wherever they encounter the business.
consistency.partial1Compare names, descriptions, addresses, phone numbers, opening hours, services, links and other important public information.
2Show evidence for material inconsistencies.
- 11
Follow the whole customer path
Connects the separate channels into one realistic journey from need to action.
customer-path.partial1Follow one or more realistic customer paths from need → search → discovery → understanding → trust → action.
2Identify where channels support each other and where customers may hit friction or dead ends.
- 12
Where are the channels not working together?
Looks for simple opportunities created by connecting things the business already has.
missed-connections.partial1Look for missing links between useful existing assets, such as social profiles not linking to booking, reviews not visible from the website, or listings pointing to outdated pages.
2Prefer connecting existing assets before recommending new ones.
- 13
Finding format
SharedGives every finding the same useful structure. The reader sees what is already working, what may need attention, the evidence, why it matters and exactly what can be done next.
positive-finding-format.partial1Report each finding using these headings, in this order:
2- Finding: A short plain-English description of the issue or opportunity.
3- Status: Shows whether the finding was directly observed, reasonably inferred, or could not be fully verified.
4- What is working: Recognises useful things already in place so the review remains balanced and does not manufacture faults.
5- What may need attention: States the issue clearly and proportionately in plain English.
6- Evidence: Shows the page, profile, search result, listing or other source supporting the finding.
7- Why this matters: Connects the finding to a real customer or business consequence.
8- How to put it right: Provides a practical step-by-step route to improvement rather than vague advice.
9- References for the fix: Provides reliable guidance supporting the recommended process.
10- Effort: Uses Small, Moderate or Larger to give a rough sense of the work involved without inventing precise cost or time estimates.
- 14
Recommendation discipline
SharedPrevents the AI from defaulting to rebuilds, subscriptions or fashionable tools when a smaller change would solve the problem.
recommendation-discipline.partial1Prefer simple, realistic improvements over large projects.
2Fix or improve what already exists before recommending replacement.
3Do not recommend a paid product, subscription, redesign, rebuild or new platform simply because one exists.
4Keep recommendations proportionate to the business and the evidence found.
5Do not create an exhaustive improvement list when a smaller set of meaningful actions will do.
- 15
What deserves a deeper review next?
Stops the Deep Dive becoming endless and points to the most useful specialist prompt.
handoff.partial1Identify no more than three areas that genuinely deserve deeper investigation.
2Explain what additional question the deeper review should answer and why it matters.
- 16
Action prioritisation
SharedTurns a long analysis into a small number of useful next steps. You should finish knowing what to do first, not merely knowing what is wrong.
action-prioritisation.partial1Finish with the three actions most worth considering first.
2For each action include what to do, why it comes before the other findings, the first practical step, and the best supporting reference.
3Prefer small, realistic improvements where they can produce a meaningful result.
- 17
Something useful I learned
SharedAdds the quiet educational layer. Instead of delivering a lecture, the prompt explains one useful marketing, customer-experience or technology concept that arose naturally from the work.
teaching-note.partial1Briefly explain one marketing, customer-experience or technology concept that arose naturally from this review.
2Explain what it means, why it matters to this particular business, and provide one reliable place to learn more.
3Keep this short and practical.
4Do not turn the report into a lesson.
- 18
Research boundaries
SharedDefines what the AI must not do. It keeps a broad review from quietly becoming security testing, legal advice, invasive research or an unrelated technical audit.
research-boundaries.partial1Stay within the stated purpose of this prompt.
2If something deserves deeper investigation, identify it, explain why it may matter, and recommend the appropriate deeper review instead of attempting that entire review here.
3Do not perform vulnerability scanning, penetration testing, endpoint probing, login attempts or other security testing.
4Do not submit forms, make bookings, place orders, contact the business or change anything.
5Do not claim legal or regulatory compliance or non-compliance from a broad review.
6Do not guess private information such as revenue, profitability, customer numbers, budgets, internal systems, staffing or business plans.
7Do not infer motives, competence or intentions of owners, staff, agencies or competitors.
- 19
Limits of this particular prompt
The boundaries that apply to this prompt specifically, on top of the general research limits.
scope-notes.partial1This is broader than the Online Sanity Check but is still not a substitute for every specialist audit.
2Do not perform deep code, security, accessibility, paid-media or legal analysis.
3Use deeper-audit handoffs instead of expanding indefinitely.
SharedSections marked shared are the same in every prompt in the library. The rules on tone, evidence, recommendations and limits are deliberately identical wherever you meet them, so you only have to learn them once — and so no prompt can quietly hold itself to a lower standard than the others.
What it deliberately will not do
- This is broader than the Online Sanity Check but is still not a substitute for every specialist audit.
- Do not perform deep code, security, accessibility, paid-media or legal analysis.
- Use deeper-audit handoffs instead of expanding indefinitely.
