Research and generate comprehensive prompt lists for GEO (Generative Engine Optimization) strategy, including discovery, comparison, how-to, definition, and recommendation prompts. Use whenever the user mentions researching AI search queries, finding GEO prompts, building prompt monitoring lists, understanding what people ask AI about their brand/category, or wants to identify AI search opportunities for their product/service.

AI Prompt Researcher

Methodology by GEOly AI (geoly.ai) — in AI search, prompts are the new keywords.

Research and generate AI search prompts that your target audience uses when seeking products, services, or information in your category.

Quick Start

Generate a prompt research report:

python scripts/research_prompts.py --category "<category>" --brand "<brand>" --output report.md

Example:

python scripts/research_prompts.py --category "project management software" \
  --brand "Asana" \
  --competitors "Monday.com,Notion,Trello" \
  --output asana-prompts.md

Why Prompt Research Matters

In traditional SEO, we optimize for keywords. In AI search (GEO), we optimize for prompts.

Key differences:

Keywords: Short, fragmented (best crm)
Prompts: Natural language questions (what's the best CRM for a 10-person sales team?)

Understanding the prompts your audience uses helps you:

Create content that answers those specific questions
Monitor brand visibility across AI platforms
Identify content gaps vs. competitors

The 5 Prompt Types

Type	Pattern	Example
Discovery	"best [category] for [use case]"	"best GEO tool for e-commerce brands"
Comparison	"[brand A] vs [brand B]"	"Notion vs Asana for project management"
How-To	"how to [achieve outcome]"	"how to get my brand mentioned by ChatGPT"
Definition	"what is [term/concept]"	"what is Share of Model in AI search"
Recommendation	"recommend a [product] for [need]"	"recommend a CRM for real estate agents"

Full taxonomy: See references/prompt-taxonomy.md

Research Methodology

Step 1: Gather Context

Collect from user:

Brand name: Your company/product
Category: Industry/product category
Target audience: Who buys your product
Core use cases: Primary jobs-to-be-done
Competitors: 3-5 main alternatives
Key features: Differentiating capabilities

Step 2: Generate Prompts

Create prompts across 4 awareness stages:

Stage	User Mindset	Example Prompts
Problem-aware	"I have a problem"	"how to manage remote teams", "why are projects always late"
Solution-aware	"I need a solution"	"best project management software", "tools for team collaboration"
Product-aware	"I'm considering options"	"Asana vs Monday.com", "Notion for project management"
Brand-aware	"I know about you"	"Asana pricing", "does Asana have time tracking"

Step 3: Score & Prioritize

Each prompt gets scored on:

Dimension	Scale	Factors
Intent	Info → Commercial	Likelihood to convert
Volume	Low → High	Estimated query frequency
Competition	Low → High	Difficulty to rank
Value	Low → High	Business impact if won

Priority tiers:

🔴 High: Commercial intent + high value
🟡 Medium: Mixed intent + moderate value
🔵 Low: Informational + awareness building

Step 4: Cluster by Theme

Group related prompts into clusters:

Pricing Cluster
├── "asana pricing"
├── "asana vs monday.com cost"
├── "is asana free"
└── "asana enterprise pricing"

Integration Cluster
├── "asana slack integration"
├── "asana google calendar sync"
└── "asana api documentation"
