Prompts

Gain prompt-level intelligence into the specific prompts where your brand appears (or doesn't appear) in AI search results.

Prompt Generation Methodology

AirOps generates tracked prompts using:

  • Traditional SEO keywords from your existing keyword strategy

  • Panel data from data providers that reflect AI search behavior and trends

  • Data science extraction to surface important questions and themes in your category


Prompt Volume Methodology

Prompt Volume indicates relative search interest to help you prioritize which prompts matter most. AirOps calculates this metric by combining:

  • AI search data: Data partnerships provide insight into AI search behavior and trends

  • Traditional search volume: Google search data is blended with AI prompt data to create a comprehensive view of demand across both search paradigms

Why Relative Indicators

Prompt Volume uses relative tiers rather than exact numbers. Precise volume figures for AI prompts are unreliable due to:

  • Personalization: AI responses vary based on user history and context

  • Multi-turn conversations: Users refine and continue prompts in ways that fragment volume across related prompts

  • Platform differences: Prompt patterns differ across ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, and other AI engines

Relative indicators provide actionable prioritization without false precision.


Regional Tracking

Track prompt visibility across different countries by adding regions in your Brand Kit's Insight Settings. Each region runs prompts from that geographic context, letting you:

  • Understand geographic variations in brand mentions

  • Identify regional opportunities

  • Tailor content strategies by market

  • Monitor international competitive positioning


Persona Tracking

Track how AI platforms respond to the same prompts when asked by different user types. Configure personas in your Brand Kit's Insight Settings by defining a title and description for each. This lets you:

  • Compare AI answers across audience segments (e.g., CTO vs. CEO vs. Engineering Manager)

  • Identify which buyer personas see your brand mentioned most frequently

  • Understand how competitive positioning shifts based on user context

Each persona multiplies your total prompt runs. Tracking 200 prompts with three personas results in 600 total answers.
