Prompt, explained simply: how questions shape AI answers
A prompt is the input you give a chatbot – a question or a task, for example “Recommend an electrician in Denver”. How the prompt is worded strongly affects the answer.
Why prompts matter for businesses
“Who is the best dentist downtown?” gets a different answer from “Dentist for kids downtown who takes my insurance”. If you know how your customers really ask, you can write content that answers exactly those questions – clear answers up front and common questions on your pages.
Prompts and our analysis
Our Visibility Analysis checks which typical customer questions your website already answers. We do not query AI assistants.
No guaranteed visibility
Documented findings and checkable actions are one thing; promised rankings, AI mentions or revenue are another. Nobody can guarantee the latter.
