Creating Prompts

Prompts are the foundation of Ranketta. They represent the queries or questions that AI models might answer, and they help you track how visible your brand is in AI responses.

What are Prompts?

A prompt is a search query or question that you want to track. For example:

• "best project management tools"
• "top note-taking apps"
• "affordable CRM software"

Ranketta monitors how often your brand appears in AI answers to these prompts and provides insights on your visibility.
