AI Tools for Ideal Customer Profiles

An “ideal customer profile” describes a company’s most valuable prospects, those who find a product or service seemingly perfect for their needs.

Ideal customer profiles help merchants:

  • Select marketing channels,
  • Create ad copy and design,
  • Narrow outreach,
  • Build email sequences,
  • Produce how-to, problem-solving videos.

AI platforms have vast databases of businesses and their audiences, helpful for defining an ideal customer. I tested three platforms for this article.

Custom GPT: ICP Generator

“ICP – Ideal Customer Profile Generator,” a custom GPT (available for ChatGPT Plus subscribers), creates profiles based on a URL. I tested it on Smarty Marketing, the site I launched last year. The results were useful, although lacking specifics. My company’s ideal customers per the custom GPT are:

  • In the growth phase: Companies aiming to expand their online presence, increase website traffic, and enhance brand visibility.
  • Digital forward: Businesses that understand and value digital marketing’s impact on growth and are ready to invest in innovative SEO strategies.
  • In competitive markets: Enterprises in industries where online competition is fierce, making them more likely to benefit from unique and effective SEO and link-building strategies.
  • Content creators: Organizations that produce valuable content and can leverage infographic marketing and social media to engage and expand their audience.
  • Seeking long-term results: Businesses focused on building lasting brand awareness and not just short-term gains, aligning with Smarty Marketing’s emphasis on long-term outcomes.

I could continue prompting the custom GPT for the best keywords in organic and paid search campaigns, the best social media platforms, helpful Facebook audience targeting, and so on.

  • An ideal customer’s responsibilities and pain points,
  • The most effective marketing channels (“touchpoints”),
  • Risks to customers of not achieving goals.

For example, Lemlist identified my company’s ideal customer as a marketing director (spot-on) with these pain points:

Struggling with understanding organic search strategies, underperforming marketing campaigns, and lack of unique digital content.

And the risks to my ideal customers of not solving problems are:

Continued decrease in online visibility, inability to compete with competitors’ online presence, loss of potential leads and sales.
