200 ChatGPT Shortcut Commands for Marketers & Agencies (2026)

One trick that separates people who get generic ChatGPT output from people who get exactly what they need: custom shortcuts. Instead of retyping a full instruction every time, you define a short trigger — a word or a slash command — and pair it with a consistent instruction. Save a handful of these in your custom instructions or just reuse them in chat, and ChatGPT reliably applies the same structure every time you use them.

Below are 200 original shortcuts built specifically for marketing, content, and agency work — organized into 16 categories, from everyday copywriting to property marketing. Type the command, add your topic, and adapt the instruction behind it however you like.
