Learn how to add and manage keywords (topics) in Surva.io for AI visibility and competitor tracking.

Adding Prompts to Track

Prompts are the search queries you want to monitor across AI platforms. Surva.ai tracks how your brand and competitors appear when users ask AI assistants these questions.

What Gets Tracked Per Prompt

For each prompt you add, Surva.ai monitors:

  • AI Chat Responses - What ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, and Gemini say
  • Google AI Overviews - AI-generated answer boxes in Google
  • Organic Rankings - Top 100 search results
  • Competitor Ads - Who is advertising on this prompt
  • Search Trends - Search volume and trend direction

How to Add Prompts

  1. Go to Prompts in the AI Visibility section of the sidebar
  2. Click the Add Prompt button
  3. Enter your prompt phrase
  4. Click Add

You can add multiple prompts at once by entering them on separate lines.

Choosing Good Prompts

Start with prompts that are:

  • High intent - Terms your ideal customers actually search
  • Specific enough - "Best CRM for startups" vs just "CRM"
  • Question-based - AI platforms excel at answering questions
  • Comparison queries - "X vs Y" or "best X alternatives"

Prompt Ideas by Type

Informational:

  • "What is [your category]"
  • "How to [solve problem you solve]"
  • "[Your category] explained"

Comparison:

  • "[Competitor] alternatives"
  • "[Competitor] vs [Your brand]"
  • "Best [your category] tools"

Transactional:

  • "Best [your category] software"
  • "[Your category] pricing"
  • "[Your category] for [use case]"
