The RTFC Prompt Formula – Write Prompts That Actually Work

The single biggest difference between a marketer who gets great ChatGPT results and one who gets garbage output is prompt quality. Here is the formula we use at Krivi Digital:

Letter	Element	What to Include	Example
R	Role	What expert should ChatGPT be?	You are an expert Facebook ads copywriter specialising in food marketing in India
T	Task	Exactly what to produce	Write 3 Facebook ad variations for a North Indian restaurant in Lucknow
F	Format	Output format required	Each ad: headline under 40 chars + primary text under 125 chars
C	Constraints	Limits, tone, what to avoid	Tone: warm and appetising. Avoid cliches like delicious and yummy

Bad Prompt vs Good Prompt – Side by Side BAD: ‘Write a Facebook ad for my restaurant.’ GOOD: ‘You are an expert Facebook ads copywriter specialising in food marketing in India. Write 3 Facebook ad variations for a North Indian restaurant in Lucknow called Nawabi Bites. Each ad: headline (under 40 chars) and primary text (under 125 chars). Target: food lovers aged 22-45 in Lucknow. Tone: warm, appetising. Avoid: delicious, yummy. Highlight: Dum Biryani, free delivery over Rs.500.’ The good prompt delivers usable, specific copy on the first try. The bad prompt delivers a generic template you will spend 30 minutes editing.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does Google penalise ChatGPT-generated content?

No – Google’s guidelines clearly state it rewards high-quality content regardless of how it was produced. Google penalises thin, unhelpful or deceptive content, not AI content. At Krivi Digital, every AI-assisted article goes through expert human review before publishing to ensure quality and accuracy.

What is the best ChatGPT prompt for SEO content?

The most effective combination is: Prompt 1 (keyword cluster) + Prompt 3 (content brief) + Prompt 8 (introduction hook). This 3-prompt chain produces a complete, SEO-optimised content brief in under 10 minutes that any writer can use to produce a ranking article.

Can I use ChatGPT for Hindi or Hinglish content?

Yes – ChatGPT performs well in Hindi, Tamil, Marathi, Bengali and other Indian languages. Simply specify the target language in your prompt. For social media content, Hinglish (Hindi-English mix) tends to perform particularly well with Indian audiences aged 18-35.

Is ChatGPT free for marketing?

ChatGPT’s free plan (GPT-3.5) handles basic content drafting, social media captions and email copy. ChatGPT Plus at Rs.1,680/month unlocks GPT-4o for significantly better quality on complex tasks. The free plan is sufficient to start building an AI content workflow.
