Create Your First Prompt Set
Rankry generates a tailored prompt set for your category during onboarding. This set, called your Semantic Core, is the list of questions Rankry sends to the five AI models. You review and edit the prompts before the first run, so the report measures the questions your buyers actually ask.

What a prompt set is
Section titled “What a prompt set is”A prompt set is a fixed list of buyer-intent questions. Holding the prompts constant is what makes results comparable over time, because the same questions run on each schedule.
Prompt types
Section titled “Prompt types”| Type | Example |
|---|---|
| Buyer-intent | Best [category] tool for [audience] |
| Branded | What is [your brand] and who is it for |
| Category | Top [category] platforms in [region] |
| Comparison | [Your brand] vs [competitor] |
For full definitions, see Prompt types.
Reviewing and editing prompts
Section titled “Reviewing and editing prompts”On the prompt validation step, review the generated prompts and edit any that do not match how your buyers phrase their questions. Adjusting prompts here makes the first report more representative.
Adding your own prompts
Section titled “Adding your own prompts”After onboarding, manage your core prompts in Semantic Core and run ad-hoc prompts in Prompt Lab. Lab prompts are useful for testing a new page or angle without changing your core set.
Frequently asked questions
Section titled “Frequently asked questions”How many prompts does Rankry create?
Section titled “How many prompts does Rankry create?”Rankry generates a tailored set sized to your category and plan. You can add or remove prompts to match your needs.
Can I write my own prompts?
Section titled “Can I write my own prompts?”Yes. Edit the generated prompts during onboarding, manage them in Semantic Core, and test new ones in Prompt Lab.
Should prompts be branded or generic?
Section titled “Should prompts be branded or generic?”Use a mix. Generic buyer-intent prompts show whether you are discovered at all, and branded or comparison prompts show how you are described against named rivals.
