# Set Up Prompts

> Build a prompt set that reflects real buyer conversations and supports reliable trend analysis.

# Set Up Prompts

Prompts are the foundation of Texta. If the prompt set is weak, every downstream metric becomes noisy.

## Prompt principles

* Write prompts as natural questions users ask AI tools.
* Track intent, not isolated keywords.
* Keep wording stable when measuring trends over time.

## Prompt lifecycle in Texta

* **Active**: included in tracking and dashboards.
* **Suggested**: generated recommendations you can accept.
* **Inactive**: archived prompts that no longer run.

## How to create prompts

## Option 1: Add manually

1. Open **Prompts**.
2. Click **Add Prompt**.
3. Enter question text and optional topic.
4. Save as active.

## Option 2: Use suggested prompts

1. Open **Prompts → Suggested**.
2. Review suggested items by topic.
3. Accept only prompts that match your positioning.

## What makes a strong prompt

* Includes a clear use case.
* Targets a specific buyer context.
* Avoids brand-stuffing and forced phrasing.

Examples:

* "What is the best AI visibility tool for SaaS marketing teams?"
* "How can I improve brand mentions in ChatGPT and Gemini?"
* "Which tools track competitor visibility in AI answers?"

## Topic strategy

* Create topics before scaling prompt volume.
* Keep topic names business-readable.
* Use one primary topic per prompt when possible.

## Prompt maintenance checklist

* Weekly: add new prompt ideas from GTM conversations.
* Monthly: archive stale prompts with no strategic value.
* Quarterly: rebalance by funnel stage and product focus.

## Common mistakes

* Too many near-duplicate prompts.
* Prompts that are too broad to benchmark.
* Constant wording changes that break trend continuity.
