Step 0: Product Marketing Context

Before any marketing work, check if

.agents/product-marketing-context.md

If it exists: Read it silently. Use it to tailor all recommendations to the user's product, audience, and positioning. Do not ask the user to repeat information already captured.

If it does NOT exist: Ask the user which path they prefer:

Path A - Auto-Draft (recommended): Scan the repo for README, landing page copy, package.json, meta tags, marketing pages, and any existing brand or messaging docs. Draft a V1 context doc covering the sections below. Present it for review.

Path B - Guided Build: Walk through each section conversationally. One section at a time. Do not dump all questions at once.

Context Document Template

# Product Marketing Context

## 1. Product Overview
What the product does in 1-2 sentences. Core value proposition.

## 2. Target Audience
Who buys this. Be specific: role, company size, industry, geography.

## 3. Personas (2-3 max)
For each: Role, goals, frustrations, how they evaluate solutions.

## 4. Problems & Pain Points
Top 3-5 problems the product solves. Use customer language.

## 5. Competitive Landscape
- Direct competitors (same solution, same problem)
- Secondary competitors (different solution, same problem)
- Indirect competitors (conflicting approach)

## 6. Differentiation
What makes you different. Not features - positioning.

## 7. Objections & Anti-Personas
Common objections from prospects. Who is NOT a fit.

## 8. Switching Dynamics (JTBD Four Forces)
- Push: Frustrations with current solution
- Pull: What attracts them to you
- Habit: What keeps them on current solution
- Anxiety: Worries about switching

## 9. Customer Language
Verbatim phrases from customers. Exact words > polished descriptions.

## 10. Brand Voice
Personality, vocabulary, rhythm, perspective. "We are X, we are not Y."

## 11. Proof Points
Metrics, case studies, logos, testimonials, awards.

## 12. Goals
Current marketing goals and success metrics.

Key Principles

1. Customer language over marketing speak. Use their exact words. "We were drowning in spreadsheets" beats "manual process inefficiency."
2. Fix the bottleneck first. If traffic is low, more CRO won't help. If traffic is high but conversions are low, more content won't help. Diagnose before prescribing.
3. Searchable before shareable. Capture existing demand with SEO content first. Layer brand-building and social on top. Foundation before amplification.
4. Test one thing at a time. Pre-commit to sample size. Stop peeking at results early. Document every test, winners AND losers.
5. Specificity beats cleverness. "Save 4 hours every week" beats "streamline your workflow." Numbers, timeframes, concrete outcomes.

Quick-Start Playbooks

These handle the most common requests without loading reference files.

Write a Positioning Statement

Use Geoffrey Moore's template:

"For [target audience] who [need/opportunity], [Brand] is the [category] that [key benefit]. Unlike [alternative], [Brand] [primary differentiator]."

Test it: Can someone unfamiliar with your product understand what you do and why you're different?

Audit a Landing Page (5-Minute CRO Check)

Check in this order - highest impact first:

1. Value prop clarity - Can a visitor understand what you do in 5 seconds?
2. Headline - Outcome-focused? Specific? ("Get [outcome] without [pain]")
3. CTA - Action + benefit? ("Start My Free Trial" not "Submit")
4. Social proof - Specific and relevant? (logos, metrics, testimonials)
5. Objection handling - FAQ or comparison addressing top 3 concerns?
6. Friction - Can they complete the action without unnecessary fields or steps?

Plan a Content Calendar

1. Define 3-5 content pillars aligned to product value
2. Map content types to funnel stages: TOFU (awareness), MOFU (consideration), BOFU (decision)
3. Set cadence (2 posts/week minimum for SEO traction)
4. Fields per entry: Title, target keyword, funnel stage, pillar, format, publish date, owner
5. Plan 6-8 weeks ahead. Calendar without deadlines is fiction.

Build a Welcome Email Sequence (5 emails, 14 days)

1. Immediate - Welcome + deliver promised value
2. Day 1-2 - Quick win (one actionable tip)
3. Day 3-4 - Story or "why we built this"
4. Day 5-7 - Social proof (case study or testimonial)
5. Day 10-14 - Conversion CTA (trial, demo, purchase)

Subject lines: under 50 chars, lowercase feels personal, questions drive opens.

Set Up an A/B Test

Hypothesis: Because [observation/data],
we believe [change] will cause [expected outcome]
for [audience]. We'll know when [metric] changes by [amount].

• One variable per test. Pre-commit to sample size.
• Primary metric (one), secondary metrics (explain why), guardrail metrics (shouldn't get worse).
• Minimum 100 conversions per variant before reading results.

Plan a Product Launch

Use the ORB framework for channel selection:

• Owned (email, blog, community) - compound over time, no algorithm risk
• Rented (social, marketplaces) - speed, not stability
• Borrowed (guest content, partnerships, influencers) - instant credibility

Launch tiers: Tier 1 (new product, full GTM) | Tier 2 (major feature, blog + enablement) | Tier 3 (minor update, release notes) | Tier 4 (patch, changelog only)

Marketing Ideas Quick Reference

Need ideas? Load

references/ideas-library.md

Quick picks by situation:

• Need leads fast: Google Ads, LinkedIn Ads, free tool / calculator
• Building authority: Conference talks, podcast guesting, original research
• Low budget: SEO content, Reddit marketing, comment marketing, community building
• PLG focus: Viral loops, powered-by marketing, in-app upsells, freemium design

Anti-Patterns

1. "Our target audience is everyone." Positioning that tries to win everyone wins no one. Get specific.
2. Optimizing the wrong bottleneck. More CRO on a page with no traffic. More traffic to a page that doesn't convert. Diagnose first.
3. Vanity metrics obsession. Followers, impressions, and page views feel good but don't pay bills. Track pipeline, revenue, activation.
4. Copying competitor tactics without their context. Their audience, budget, and stage are different. Understand the principle, adapt the tactic.
5. Content without distribution. Publishing and hoping is not a strategy. Every piece needs a distribution plan.
6. Discounting as default response. Competing on price is a race to the bottom. Compete on value, positioning, and experience.
7. Feature-listing instead of benefit-selling. "AI-powered analytics" means nothing. "Surface insights you'd miss manually" means everything.
8. Launching once and moving on. Marketing compounds. The best channel is the one you stick with long enough to learn.

Gotchas

• No product context = generic advice. Always check for

  .agents/product-marketing-context.md

  before any recommendation. If missing, build it first.
• Platform-specific rules change fast. LinkedIn penalizes external links in post body. Instagram now favors 3-5 hashtags (not 30). AI search engines update ranking factors monthly. Verify current best practices.
• AI search is eating clicks. AI Overviews appear in ~45% of Google searches and reduce clicks by up to 58%. Optimize for citation, not just ranking. Load

  references/search-visibility.md

  for AEO/GEO strategy.
• Email deliverability is infrastructure. SPF + DKIM + DMARC must be configured before any email marketing. Gmail clips HTML over 102KB. Apple MPP inflates open rates since iOS 15.
• Schema markup detection requires a browser.

  web_fetch

  and

  curl

  cannot reliably detect JSON-LD injected via client-side JavaScript. Use browser tools or Google Rich Results Test.
• Sample size math is non-negotiable. At 1% baseline conversion and 10% minimum detectable effect, you need ~150K visitors per variant. Don't run tests you can't power.
