Maintain Brand Voice Across Thousands of Pages with AI

Maintaining a consistent brand voice across thousands of pages is a Herculean task. AI-powered solutions like GPT-4 & Claude 3 are changing how businesses approach this challenge. Let's dive into how these digital wordsmiths can help you keep your brand's personality shining through, even when you're churning out content faster than a caffeinated typist.

In this post, we’ll go over the elements involved in approaching this challenge, crafting comprehensive content guidelines for your prompt, we also share an App that we’ve used internal and for clients to Generating Content Guidelines based on previous sample posts.

The Power of Prompting: Teaching AI Your Brand's Lingo

Imagine having a super-smart intern who could perfectly mimic your brand's voice after just a few instructions. That's essentially what you're doing when you use prompting techniques with LLMs. By providing detailed guidelines about your brand's tone, style, and values, you're essentially giving the AI a crash course in "Speaking Your Brand."

Here's how you can craft the perfect prompt:

1. Define your brand's personality (Are you the cool aunt or the nerdy best friend?)
2. Outline your target audience (Who are you trying to charm?)
3. Specify your unique selling points (What makes you the belle of the ball?)
4. Set the tone (Formal? Casual? Somewhere in between?)

With Moonlit Platform, you can input these guidelines once and use them across multiple content generation tasks. It's like cloning your brand's voice and unleashing it on your entire content strategy.

Temperature Check: Finding the Sweet Spot for Creativity

When it comes to LLMs, temperature isn't about the weather—it's about how spicy you want your content. The temperature parameter in LLMs controls the level of creativity in the generated content. Think of it as a dial that goes from "just the facts, ma'am" to "let's get wild."

• Low temperature: More conservative, predictable content. Great for maintaining a consistent voice but might lack pizzazz.
• High temperature: More creative, varied content. Excellent for brainstorming but might occasionally go off-brand.

Finding the right temperature for your brand is crucial. With Moonlit Platform, you can experiment with different settings to find that Goldilocks zone where your content is consistent yet engaging.

Guidelines: The GPS for Your Brand's Voice

Creating comprehensive content writing guidelines is like giving your AI a detailed map of your brand's voice. Here's what to include:

• Brand personality traits
• Preferred writing style (e.g., active voice, short sentences)
• Taboo words or phrases
• Examples of ideal content

Once you've crafted these guidelines, you can feed them into Moonlit Platform's LLM functions. This ensures that every piece of content generated aligns with your brand's voice, whether you're creating one blog post or a thousand.

Bulk Runs: Auditing and Generating Content at Scale

Now, let's talk about Moonlit Platform's secret weapon: the Bulk Runs feature. This nifty tool allows you to perform two crucial tasks:

1. Auditing Existing Content: Upload your existing content, and Moonlit will analyze it for brand voice consistency. It's like having a team of eagle-eyed editors working round the clock.

2. Generating New Content: Need to create a mountain of on-brand content? No problem. Feed your topics into Moonlit, and watch as it churns out content that's as consistent as it is captivating.

Using AI to Generate Writing Guidelines Based on Past Posts.

We previously built a Brand Content Guidelines Generator App using Moonlit that generates a 1 pager containing all the information needed to guide your writer, whether it’s human or AI. Here’s how it works:

1. Provide it with 3 sample blog post urls, and your brand home page url.
2. It will scrape these page’s contents and pass each sample post to an LLM to disect and analyze.
3. A final LLM is used to find the commonalities and patterns between the 3 analyses.

We’ve used this app ourselves and for one of our clients. You can read more about that case study here.

Overcoming the Challenges: Keeping it Human

While AI is a powerful tool, it's not without its challenges. Here are a few potential pitfalls and how to avoid them:

• Over-personalization: Ensure your content doesn't sound robotic by occasionally tweaking the output.
• Balancing consistency and creativity: Use different temperature settings for different types of content.
• Workflow integration: Start small and gradually increase AI usage as your team becomes more comfortable.

Remember, the goal is to enhance your content creation process, not replace the human touch entirely.

Measuring Success: Metrics that Matter

How do you know if your AI-powered brand voice maintenance is working? Keep an eye on these metrics:

• Content consistency scores (you can create a custom scoring system using Moonlit)
• User engagement metrics (time on site, bounce rates)
• SEO performance (rankings, organic traffic)
• Customer satisfaction and loyalty metrics

By tracking these indicators, you can continually refine your approach and ensure your brand voice remains strong and consistent across all your content.
