Increase Visibility With These Prompts

Introduction To Mention Prompts

Mention prompts are questions that CLEA sends to AI chatbots for you. They are based on the questions a buyer may ask when looking for advice, comparing products, or trying to solve a problem.

Each time a prompt runs, CLEA saves the answer. You can see whether your brand was mentioned, which competing brands appeared, and which websites the chatbot used as sources. Running the same prompts over time helps you see if your visibility is improving.

A useful mention prompt should:

• Sound like something a real person would ask
• Match a problem your product can solve
• Give the chatbot room to compare several options
• Be clear enough to use again without changing its meaning

The goal is not to place your brand name inside every question. It is to learn whether the chatbot finds and recommends your brand on its own.

Agent Prompts and Scheduled Tasks

Mention prompts collect answers from AI chatbots. Agent prompts tell CLEA what to do with those answers. You can ask her to review recent results, compare your brand with competitors, study useful sources, or suggest what to improve next.

You can run these tasks daily, weekly, or monthly. CLEA reviews the latest data on that schedule and saves her findings in your dashboard.

Agent prompts are useful for:

• Turning many AI answers into a short report
• Finding the clearest action to take next
• Watching changes in your market
• Keeping the review process moving without doing it by hand each time

Standard Approach To Track Mentions

A standard mention prompt asks for tools, products, or companies that solve a clear problem. It mirrors a normal buyer question: the person knows what they need, but has not chosen a brand.

Keep the wording simple and leave your company name out. This gives you a clearer view of the brands the chatbot recommends without being guided.

List [number] tools that help [type of customer] achieve [desired result].
For each tool, explain what it is best for and why someone would choose it.

For example, a small software company could ask for tools that help brands appear more often in AI answers. Run the same prompt again over time. Then check how often your brand appears, where it appears in the answer, which competitors appear, and which sources are used.

Best .. To Prompts

A "best" prompt comes from someone who wants a shortlist or recommendation. They may be close to choosing a product, which makes these prompts useful for checking whether your brand appears at an important point in their search.

Name the type of customer or the problem they want to solve. This gives the chatbot enough context to make a useful comparison.

What are the best [product category] for [type of customer] that wants to [desired result]?
Compare [number] options by [important factor], [important factor], and [important factor].

List the best [product category] to help [type of business] solve [specific problem].
Include the main strength and possible drawback of each option.

When testing a new version, change one placeholder at a time. If you change the customer, problem, and comparison points together, you will not know which change affected the answer.

Alternative Prompts

Alternative prompts are useful when a buyer already knows one company but wants another option. They may want a lower price, a simpler product, or something built for their type of team.

Use a competitor that your customers are likely to consider. A random company may produce an answer, but it will not tell you much about real buying choices in your market.

What are the best alternatives to [competitor] for [type of customer]?
Compare the options on [factor], [factor], and [factor].

I am looking for a [cheaper / simpler / more flexible] alternative to [competitor].
Which [number] options should I consider, and why?

As the prompts run again, you can see which competitors keep appearing, whether your brand joins the list, and why the chatbot recommends one option over another.

Persona Disguise Prompts

Persona prompts give the chatbot a little context about the person asking the question. This is CLEA's disguise: she asks from a customer's point of view instead of your company's point of view.

The persona can include a job, company size, problem, budget, or goal. Only include details that could change the recommendation. Too much background can distract from the main question.

I am a [role] at a [company type or size].
We are struggling with [problem] and want to [desired result].
Which [number] [product category] should we consider?

We are a [type of business] looking for [solution].
Our priorities are [priority], [priority], and [priority].
Recommend the best options and explain which type of team each one suits.

These prompts are especially useful when your product serves a specific kind of customer. They show whether the chatbot understands who your product is for and when it should recommend you.

Agent Prompts To Increase Visibility

After your mention prompts have collected several answers, ask CLEA to find the clearest areas to improve. Give the agent prompt a goal, a time range, and the type of answer you want back.

Hey CLEA, study all mention results from [timeframe].
Find the prompts where [brand] is missing or placed behind challengers.
Recommend the [number] highest-impact actions to improve our visibility.
Explain why each action matters.

A weekly run is a useful starting point. Choose daily during an active launch, or monthly when you only need a wider review.

Actionable Sources

Chatbots may use websites to support their answers. CLEA saves these sources so you can see where your brand appears, where competitors appear, and which useful websites do not mention you.

Ask CLEA for a short list and a next action. The result can help you decide which pages to improve, which comparisons to publish, or which websites may be worth contacting.

Hey CLEA, review the sources found in our results from [timeframe].
Group them into sources that mention [brand], sources that favour challengers,
and sources where we may have an opportunity.
Give me [number] actions to take next.

Start with sources that appear in several important answers. A website used once may matter less than one that keeps shaping recommendations in your market.

Competitor Comparisons

Competitor results show more than who was mentioned. They can reveal the reasons another company is recommended and the facts or claims used to support that choice.

Hey CLEA, compare [brand] with the competitors found in results from [timeframe].
Show where each competitor appears more often, the reasons they are recommended,
and the claims or proof that support them.
End with the [number] clearest gaps we should close.

Do not make a large decision from one answer. Look for reasons that repeat across several prompts and chatbots. Those patterns give you a clearer idea of what needs to improve.

Get Suggestions

You do not need to know what to improve before asking CLEA. She can review the results, competitors, sources, and recent activity saved in your account, then suggest a useful next action.

Hey CLEA, study everything in my account from [timeframe].
Tell me the most important thing stopping [brand] from gaining popularity in AI search.
Suggest one clear next step, the result we should expect, and how we can measure it.

Start with one suggestion instead of asking for a long strategy. Complete that action, keep your main mention prompts the same, and use later results to see whether it helped.

FAQ

How many mention prompts should I start with?

Start with a small set that covers your main customer, problem, and product comparisons. A focused set is easier to understand than dozens of similar questions.

Should I include my brand name in a mention prompt?

Usually, no. Leave it out when you want to test natural discovery. Include it only when you want to study how AI describes or compares your brand directly.

How often should mention prompts run?

Daily runs give you a close view of change. Weekly or monthly runs may be enough when your market and website change less often.

Why do answers change between runs?

AI answers can change as models, sources, and wording change. Look for patterns across several runs instead of judging one result alone.

What is the difference between a mention prompt and an agent prompt?

A mention prompt asks an AI chatbot a buyer-style question. An agent prompt asks CLEA to study your account data and complete a task.

Can CLEA guarantee that my brand will be recommended?

No. CLEA cannot control what an independent chatbot says. She helps you understand the answers and find ways to improve your chance of being mentioned.
