ChatGPT prompts for tradies (copy, paste, done)

Updated 21 Jun 20262 min readAll trades

We covered how tradies can use ChatGPT. Here are the actual prompts. Copy one, paste it into ChatGPT, swap your details into the square brackets, and send. No special wording needed.

Quotes and follow-ups

Write a short, friendly follow-up text to a customer who has not replied to my quote for [a bathroom reno]. Polite, not pushy.

Turn these rough notes into a clear quote summary I can send a customer: [paste your notes].

Reviews

Write a warm, two-sentence reply to this 5-star Google review: [paste the review].

Write a calm, professional reply to this negative review. Do not argue, just acknowledge it and offer to sort it out on [your number]: [paste the review].

More on the tricky ones: how to reply to a bad Google review.

Winning more work

Write a friendly text to a customer I serviced about a year ago for [a hot water system], offering a quick check before summer. Warm, and easy to say no to.

That one is the 10-minute win-back text, the cheapest job you can do.

Write a 750-character Google Business Profile description for a [Werribee electrician] who does [switchboards, EV chargers and emergency callouts].

Drop it straight into your profile (see setting up your Google Business Profile).

Your website words

Write three short, plain homepage headlines for a [suburb] [trade] who is reliable and quick to answer the phone.

Write a short, plain-English "about us" paragraph for [business name], a family [trade] working across [your area].

The catch

None of this happens on its own. ChatGPT only does the job when you open it, write the prompt, copy the result and paste it where it goes, every single time. Between jobs, that is real hours, which is why most tradies start strong and quietly stop.

That is the whole reason BizEdge exists: it runs the follow-ups, the review replies and the win-back texts for you automatically, for less than those hours would cost you. The AI does the marketing, you stay on the tools.

Common questions

Do I need to pay for ChatGPT to use these prompts?
No. The free version of ChatGPT handles all of these fine. Just swap your own details into the square brackets before you send.
What is the best ChatGPT prompt for a tradie?
The quote follow-up. Chasing a quote that has gone quiet is the job most tradies put off, and a quick, friendly text written for you in ten seconds is the one that most often turns into paid work.
Will ChatGPT write my whole website?
It will give you a solid first draft of headlines, service blurbs and your about page, which beats staring at a blank screen. You still need to read it, fix anything that is not true, and actually put it live.
