What's the strategic difference between tracking broad category prompts versus specific long-tail prompts?

Broad prompts ('best CRM software') generate high visibility metrics but fierce competition and lower conversion, while long-tail prompts ('CRM for insurance agencies with legacy policy systems') show lower volume but higher intent and less competition. The platform's prompt portfolio analytics reveal the optimal mix: typically 20-28% broad prompts for brand awareness and category positioning, 72-80% specific prompts for conversion and competitive differentiation. Track both, but optimize investment based on performance—many brands discover their best ROI comes from dominating 15-20 specific prompts where they're uniquely qualified rather than fighting for scraps on 50 generic category queries.

How should my prompt portfolio evolve as my GEO program matures?

Early-stage programs focus on foundational category prompts to establish baseline visibility and identify quick wins. As you mature, shift toward competitive displacement prompts ('alternative to [competitor]'), strategic niche prompts (underserved use cases or verticals), and conversion-optimized prompts (buyer-intent, implementation, comparison). The platform's prompt performance tracking shows exactly when to expand categories (high mention rate, low competitive resistance) versus when to prune underperformers (low visibility despite optimization efforts). Most mature programs evolve from 'monitor our category' to 'own specific high-value conversations'—replacing 34% of initial prompts within 6 months based on strategic learnings and market positioning shifts.

What is Prompts?

Prompts (plural) refers to the comprehensive set of questions and queries being actively monitored in a GEO strategy. A typical GEO program tracks dozens to hundreds of prompts covering various aspects of the brand's domain. These prompts are carefully selected based on search volume, relevance, competitive intensity, and business impact. Managing and optimizing this prompt portfolio is central to effective GEO.
