How PromptScout Works

Getting started with PromptScout takes a few minutes. Set up your brand, review suggested prompts, run your first monitor, and get an AI Visibility Check showing how ChatGPT, Gemini, Google AI Overviews, and Perplexity talk about your brand.

PromptScout brand setup and visibility configuration

Step 1: Create Your Brand Profile

Tell PromptScout about your brand using the same fields you manage in the Brand page: company name, primary domain, and a short description. This gives PromptScout enough context to identify your company accurately in AI responses and to keep future monitoring runs trustworthy.

  • Enter your brand name, primary domain, and a short description
  • PromptScout uses that profile to identify your brand across AI responses
  • Works for any industry, any company size

Step 2: Get AI-Suggested Prompts

PromptScout suggests buyer-style prompts tied to your category, then lets you edit, remove, or add your own. The goal is to start with a small set of high-intent questions that produce a useful AI Visibility Check instead of a noisy report.

  • Review AI-suggested prompts for your brand and category
  • Edit, remove, or add your own custom prompts
  • Focus on high-intent questions where AI recommendations drive decisions

Step 3: Run Your First Monitor

Hit run and PromptScout sends your prompts across ChatGPT, Gemini, Google AI Overviews, and Perplexity. The first run gives you an AI Visibility Check: mentions, competitors, citation sources, and provider-level differences you can compare against future runs.

  • Simultaneous querying across ChatGPT, Gemini, AI Overviews, and Perplexity
  • Automated extraction identifies brands, rankings, and citation sources
  • Results organized into monitoring, competitors, sources, and insights views

Step 4: Track, Analyze, Optimize

Once the first AI Visibility Check exists, use PromptScout as a weekly operating loop. Review monitoring changes, check which competitors or sources moved, pick one recommendation from Insights, and confirm the impact in Reports.

  • Monitoring cadence depends on your plan
  • Trend tracking shows visibility changes over time
  • AI insights with specific, actionable recommendations
  • Dashboard reporting with visibility trends and competitor rankings
