You just signed up for an AI visibility tool. You're staring at a blank text field that says "Enter your prompts." And you have no idea what to type.
What are people actually asking ChatGPT about your niche? What's the exact wording they use? Which prompts show buying intent versus casual curiosity? You don't know. Nobody does, because there's no search volume data for AI prompts the way there is for Google keywords.
This is the problem that kills most AI visibility projects before they even start.
The guesswork trap
Most AI visibility tools expect you to bring your own prompts. They hand you an empty field and assume you know exactly what your potential customers are asking AI chatbots.
The typical approach looks something like this: you open ChatGPT, type in a few guesses ("best marketing consultant," "top CRM software," "how to fix my website SEO"), check if you appear, and call it a day. Maybe you test 5 or 10 variations. Maybe you get lucky and find a few good ones.
But here's what you're missing. People don't search AI the way they search Google. They ask full questions, they add context, they describe their situation. "I'm a small e-commerce brand doing about $10k/month and I need help with Facebook ads, who should I hire?" is a real prompt that someone types into Perplexity. You'd never guess that exact phrasing on your own.
And even if you could guess some prompts, you'd spend hours doing manual testing across multiple LLMs, trying variations, writing them down somewhere. That's not a tracking system. That's a spreadsheet and a prayer.
How Mentionable generates your prompts
When you create a project in Mentionable, you enter your URL. That's it. One field, one input.
From there, Mentionable scans your site using Claude. It reads your homepage, your services pages, your about page, your case studies. It understands what you do, who you serve, what problems you solve, and how you position yourself.
Then it generates 15 to 20 relevant prompts that match real queries your potential customers would ask AI. These aren't generic templates. They're specific to your business, your niche, and your positioning.
For a freelance web designer who specializes in Shopify stores, the prompts might look like:
- "Who's the best Shopify designer for small brands?"
- "I need someone to redesign my Shopify store, any recommendations?"
- "Best freelance web designers for e-commerce sites"
- "Can you recommend a Shopify expert for a product launch?"
For a B2B SaaS doing email outreach, the prompts would be completely different. Every set is tailored to the business Mentionable just scanned.
Why these prompts matter
Not all AI prompts are equal. Someone asking "what is SEO?" is learning. Someone asking "best SEO consultant for startups" is buying.
Mentionable focuses specifically on high-intent prompts, the queries where someone is ready to hire, buy, or sign up. These are the prompts that actually drive revenue. Being recommended by ChatGPT on an informational query is nice. Being recommended on a buying query is money.
This distinction matters more than most people realize. You could be mentioned on 50 informational prompts and get zero clients from it. Or you could be mentioned on 3 high-intent prompts and book your calendar full.
The prompts Mentionable generates target that second scenario. They're designed around the moment of decision, when a potential customer asks AI "who should I go with?"
You still have full control
The automatically generated prompts are suggestions, not a locked-in list. You review each one and pick the prompts you want to track. If some don't feel right for your business, skip them. If you have your own prompts you want to monitor, add them as custom entries.
This flexibility means you get the best of both worlds. An intelligent starting point that saves you hours of research, plus the freedom to shape your tracking to match your actual business priorities.
Most users find that the generated prompts cover 80-90% of what they'd want to track. The remaining 10-20% comes from their own knowledge of their customers and the specific questions they hear on sales calls or in DMs.
Who benefits most from this
If you're a solopreneur or a small team, automatic prompt generation is probably the feature that saves you the most time. You don't have an SEO team doing keyword research. You don't have hours to spend testing prompts manually. You need to go from "I wonder if AI mentions me" to "I know exactly where I stand" in minutes, not days.
Consultants and freelancers get a lot of value here too. Your offering is specific enough that generic prompts miss the mark, but nuanced enough that manually crafting the right ones takes real thought. Letting Mentionable scan your site and generate relevant prompts means you skip straight to the insights.
Agencies using Mentionable for client work benefit from the speed. Onboarding a new client goes from "let me research your keywords for a week" to "enter the URL and we'll have prompts ready in minutes."
Part of a bigger workflow
Automatic prompt generation is the first step in the Mentionable workflow. Once you've selected your prompts, they're tracked automatically across all 5 LLMs (ChatGPT, Perplexity, Grok, Gemini, and Claude) at regular intervals based on your plan.
You get your prompts generated, you pick the ones that matter, and Mentionable handles the rest. Tracking, monitoring, alerting you when things change, showing you how competitors perform on those same prompts.
It all starts with one URL.
Try it yourself
Start your 7-day free trial and enter your URL. You'll have relevant prompts generated in minutes, with tracking across all 5 LLMs. No credit card required, no keyword research needed. Just your URL and a few minutes of your time.
