## What it does

AI Prompt-Set generates the realistic buyer questions people actually ask ChatGPT and Perplexity about your niche, then shows whether those engines cite your brand or a competitor in the answer. It matters because AI answer engines recommend only a short list of brands per question, so if your content doesn't answer the prompts your buyers ask, a competitor gets named instead of you.

## What it checks

- **Buyer-intent prompts** — The natural-language questions real people type into AI engines rather than keyword strings, and the exact queries where a brand is either recommended or ignored.
- **Funnel coverage** — Whether the prompt set spans awareness, comparison, and purchase-intent questions, so you spot citation gaps across the whole buying journey and not just one stage.
- **Comparison and 'best-of' prompts** — Questions like 'best X for Y' where AI engines return a ranked shortlist, and being absent from that list is where most lost recommendations happen.
- **Brand-vs-competitor citation** — Which brand the engine actually names in its answer, the core signal of whether AI is sending buyers to you or to a rival.
- **Answer-engine share of voice** — How often your brand appears across the full prompt set, a proxy for your overall visibility inside AI answers.
- **Prompt realism** — How closely each generated prompt matches the way your specific audience phrases questions, so the test reflects real demand rather than generic queries.

## FAQ

### What is a buyer prompt?

A buyer prompt is the natural-language question a potential customer asks an AI engine, like 'what's the best CRM for a small agency?', rather than a keyword. These prompts are where AI decides which brands to recommend.

### How is this different from keyword research?

Keyword research finds search terms; a prompt-set finds the conversational questions people ask ChatGPT and Perplexity, then checks which brand the AI names in its answer. It measures AI recommendation, not search ranking.

### Why does it matter if AI cites a competitor instead of me?

AI answer engines usually name only a few brands per question, so an uncited brand is effectively invisible to buyers who use AI. Seeing which prompts cite a rival tells you exactly where to add content to win the recommendation.

### What do I do after I see the prompts?

Prioritize the prompts where a competitor is cited or where no one is, then publish clear, answer-first content that directly addresses those questions so AI engines can cite you.
