How to Find Prompts to Track in AI Search
Set up your first prompt set in AIclicks, research and upload prompts.
Why everything starts from prompts
Prompt Analytics shows how AI systems talk about your brand, but it only works if you track the right prompts.
Every insight about visibility, sentiment, and competitors comes from specific prompts that mimic real user questions. The quality and coverage of those prompts determine how useful your data will be.
Before you start, make sure you:
-
Know your main products and services.
-
Have your brand name and website URL ready.
-
Can access basic keyword insights (SEO specialist, Google Ads, or similar tools help but are not required for a first pass).
Set up your first prompt set
Follow this workflow to go from brand and website to a rich prompt set that covers your key offerings.
Add your brand name and website
Start by telling AIclicks who you are.
-
Enter your brand name and your main website URL.
-
Confirm that the website reflects your current products and services (menus, pricing pages, and solution pages should be up to date).
-
Save your details so AIclicks can scan your site and understand your core topics.
Once this is done, AIclicks generates an initial set of prompts based on your brand and site content.
Review suggested prompts
AIclicks suggests prompts that reflect how users might ask AI tools about your brand and category.
-
Go through the list of suggested prompts.
-
For each prompt, decide whether it is:
-
Relevant to your products or services.
-
High intent (buying or vendor-selection language).
-
Accurate in how it describes what you do.
-
Accept prompts that match real-world questions you care about and skip anything off-topic or low value.
Accept, reject, and request more topics
Refine the suggested prompts so they fit your strategy.
-
Accept prompts that match:
-
Your core products or service lines.
-
Your target buyers and use cases.
-
-
Reject prompts that:
-
Focus on geographies, industries, or use cases you do not serve.
-
Misrepresent your offering.
-
-
If you see gaps in coverage, use the tool to request more topics in areas that matter:
-
Missing product lines.
-
Important use cases.
-
Specific industries, regions, or buyer segments.
-
After this pass, you have a clean base set of prompts that reflect your current priorities.
Add individual prompts manually
Fill in obvious gaps by adding your own prompts one by one.
-
Add prompts for new products or services that the suggestions did not capture yet.
-
Create prompts around strategic keywords your team already targets in SEO, paid search, or sales decks.
-
Include important competitor or category prompts where you want to appear as an alternative.
Manual prompts are useful for testing specific ideas or niche opportunities before scaling them up.
Bulk upload prompts via CSV
If you already have a larger keyword or prompt list, upload it to avoid manual work.
-
Prepare a CSV file with your prompts, grouped by product or service category.
-
Include extra columns if available, such as:
-
Category or topic.
-
Country or language (if relevant).
-
-
Upload the CSV so AIclicks can add the full set in one go.
Bulk upload is the fastest way to bring in research from SEO tools, paid media, or previous prompt work.
Let the prompts table start collecting data
Once your prompts are in, AIclicks starts tracking how AI systems answer them.
-
Your prompts table lists each prompt, grouped by product or service category.
-
As data accumulates, you see:
-
Which prompts get more volume or interest (from connected keyword data where available).
-
Your visibility percentage for each prompt (how often and how prominently you appear).
-
This table becomes your home base for deciding where to focus AI optimization efforts.
What to do next
Once your initial prompt set is live and prioritized:
-
Refine your prompt strategy in Prompts Overview and Create prompts.
-
Deepen your work on source coverage with Use sources and Domains.
-
Track how competitors show up on the same prompts in Track competitors.
With a solid prompt foundation, every metric in AIclicks becomes more meaningful and every optimization action ties back to real user questions.
