Build an advertiser radar for a media company

What you’ll produce

Prospect cards with the business, category, a screenshot of the real ad and where it ran, the offer, verified public contact info with source, and best-fit ad product; plus a daily call list with scripts and follow-up cadence.

Inputs & connections

• Your market area and ad products
• Places local businesses advertise (print magazines, ad libraries, coupon books, Meta/Google ads, other publishers)
• Your current sponsor list for exclusion

Requires separately configured Grok Bot access to the named data sources. Copying this prompt does not connect any accounts; start with copies or exports.

Replace the bracketed fields. This is our suggested prompt, not a quote from the source.

Every day, scan [market] for local businesses already paying to advertise in [print magazines, ad libraries, coupon books, Meta/Google ad libraries, other publishers]. For each, crop a screenshot of the real ad, verify the business, and record company, category, where and when the ad ran, the exact offer, and public phone and email with the source and date found. Recommend which of [my ad products] fits best and why. Only label something a paid ad if it is one; partner lists and organic posts are not ads. Write unknown for ad spend, decision maker, or dates you cannot verify. Exclude anyone on [current sponsor list]. Add cards for my review; do not contact anyone.

How to run it

1. 01

   Start with one source (the author began with one local real estate magazine).

2. 02

   Review each prospect card and approve it before it reaches your call list.

3. 03

   Work a daily board (the author does 10-12 calls, 3 DMs, 1 Chamber move) with scripts and objection answers on each card.

4. 04

   Log call outcomes; draft follow-up emails yourself and recontact on a fixed cadence (e.g. 4 days, then email, then park 60 days).

Limitations & success checks

• The author uses two agents (a scout and a builder) and custom software; this guide adapts the idea and does not reproduce that software.
• Cold calling and email are subject to local rules; the human still makes every call.

Measure: Verified prospects per week, overlap with existing sponsors, connect rate, and deals closed.
