Objective: Run a real multimodal audit in two passes: score product images for visual-search readiness, then score a batch of social posts for cross-format brand consistency, using the lesson's own prompt patterns.

You're the digital marketing analyst at TBO Tek, the B2B travel distribution platform. Before the next content sprint, you need to know which product images are invisible to visual search and which recent posts are quietly off-brand.

Use the Practical Prompt Patterns from the lesson: run a visual search optimization pass on product images, then a brand consistency audit on recent posts, and turn both into a prioritized fix list.

The process

2 steps

Step 01 of 02

Visual search optimization for product images

Google Lens processes 20 billion visual searches a month, 20% of them shopping queries, roughly 4 billion monthly image-based purchase intents that a keyword-only brand never sees.

Given 15 product-listing images from TBO Tek's B2B travel marketplace, which ones lack the alt text and structured data a visual search engine needs to surface them?

ChatGPT— Upload the 15 images plus their current alt-text/metadata sheet to ChatGPT with vision enabled

Procedure

Paste the visual search optimization prompt pattern from the lesson for each image
Ask ChatGPT to describe what a shopper would see via visual search for each image
Compare that description against the current alt text and flag gaps
Rank the flagged images by estimated search volume for that product category

Sample output

VISUAL SEARCH READINESS (excerpt)
1. beach-resort-goa-suite.jpg — No alt text, no Product schema. FLAG.
2. himalayan-trek-package.jpg — Alt text present ('trek image'), too generic to match a Lens query. FLAG.
3. business-hotel-mumbai-lobby.jpg — Alt text and structured data both present. PASS.
...12 more rows

Healthy

Every flagged image gets a specific alt-text rewrite and a structured-data checklist item, not just a 'fix this' note.

Unhealthy

The audit produces a pass/fail label with no rewrite recommendation attached.

What this means

A flag without a fix just moves the same work downstream; the audit is only useful if it hands the content team something they can act on immediately.

So what do I do about it?

Half the catalog images have no alt text at all	Batch-write alt text for the flagged images before the next content sprint	half day

Step 02 of 02

Cross-modal brand consistency scoring

The lesson's brand consistency audit prompt pattern scores each post on tone, color, logo usage, and CTA style, then flags the most inconsistent examples for review.

Score TBO Tek's last 20 partner-facing social posts on the brand consistency rubric and identify the 3 most inconsistent.

Claude— Upload the 20 posts, including images, to Claude and run the brand consistency audit prompt

Procedure

Paste the brand consistency audit prompt pattern from the lesson
Attach all 20 posts with their images in one session so Claude can reason across the batch
Review the rubric scores and pull the 3 lowest-scoring posts
Write one corrective note per flagged post explaining the specific rubric dimension it failed

Sample output

BRAND CONSISTENCY SCORES (Top 3 flagged, of 20)
1. Post #14 (LinkedIn, Jan 12) — Logo rendered in inverted colors (#FF0000 instead of brand navy). Score: 2/10.
2. Post #7 (Instagram, Jan 6) — CTA reads 'Sign up now!' instead of the brand's standard 'Request a demo.' Score: 4/10.
3. Post #19 (LinkedIn, Jan 18) — Tone is casual/exclamatory against a brand voice guide that calls for measured, data-led copy. Score: 5/10.

Healthy

The 3 flagged posts each cite the specific rubric dimension they failed, not a vague 'off-brand' label.

Unhealthy

Every post scores 8+ because the rubric was applied too loosely to be useful.

What this means

A consistency audit that never flags anything isn't catching real drift; some variance across 20 real posts is expected and worth surfacing.

So what do I do about it?

Symptom	Action	Effort
Same CTA phrasing violation shows up in more than one flagged post	Add the correct CTA phrasing to the brand template used when briefing new posts	30 min

Final deliverable

A visual-search readiness scorecard for 15 product images plus a brand consistency audit flagging the 3 most inconsistent posts, both ready for the next content sprint.

Sample output

Yatra Online — Visual Search & Brand Consistency Audit (excerpt)

VISUAL SEARCH READINESS
1. rishikesh-rafting-package.jpg — Missing alt text and Product schema. FLAG.
2. kerala-houseboat-suite.jpg — Alt text present, structured data missing. FLAG.

BRAND CONSISTENCY (Top 3 flagged)
1. Post #9 (Instagram, Feb 3) — Brand red rendered as orange due to a compression artifact. Score: 3/10.
2. Post #22 (Facebook, Feb 11) — CTA reads 'Grab this deal' against a brand guide that avoids discount framing. Score: 4/10.

Success criteria

You're done when you can:

Correctly separates images with real visual-search gaps from images that already pass
Flags exactly the posts with a genuine rubric-dimension violation, with the dimension named
Produces a fix list the content team can act on without re-doing the audit
