What is a Prompt

Why prompts matter

When someone asks "What are the best running shoes for beginners?" or "What is the most affordable CRM for small business?" the AI generates an answer. Ranketta tracks how often your brand appears in those answers and how you compare to competitors.

Prompts are the foundation of everything we measure. If you're not in the prompts that matter to your audience, you're not in the AI conversation.

What Ranketta shows you

Unlike other AI analytics tools, Ranketta tells you which prompts people actually search when it comes to your brand, by country, and we show you search volume for each prompt. This helps you prioritize what to track, understand the real demand behind each question, and see how search behavior differs across markets.

Discovering prompts to track

You don't have to guess which prompts to track. Open Prompt Research, enter a keyword or competitor domain, and choose a country. Ranketta surfaces high-volume topics for that market; for each topic you can generate relevant prompts and start tracking the ones you select.

Connect Google Search Console on the research page to get keyword suggestions from your site as you type. You can also add prompts manually: see how to create prompts >.

Examples of prompts

• "What is the best project management tool?"
• "What are the best note-taking apps for students?"
• "What is the most affordable CRM software?"
• "What are the best running shoes under $100?"

FAQ

How many prompts should I track?
As many as you can. The more prompts you track, the more data you collect, and the greater your accuracy and overview of your AI visibility.

Can I track the same question for multiple countries?
Yes. Each prompt targets one country, so to follow the same idea across several markets, create one prompt per country.

Do I have to think of prompts myself?
No. Prompt Research surfaces high-volume topics for a keyword or competitor domain and generates relevant prompts for you, and connecting Google Search Console suggests keywords from your own site as you type.
