How PromptScout Works

Getting started with PromptScout takes a few minutes. Set up your brand, review suggested prompts, run your first monitor, and establish a baseline 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 baseline 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 a baseline: mentions, competitors, citation sources, and provider-level differences you can compare against future runs.

  • Simultaneous querying across all supported AI providers
  • Automated extraction identifies brands, rankings, and citation sources
  • Results organized into monitoring, competitors, sources, and insights views

Step 4: Track, Analyze, Optimize

Once the baseline 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
