Introducing Prompt Volume: Measure AI Demand and Prioritize Content for Brands

Summary

Prompt Volume shows what people ask AI and how often. It delivers estimated monthly prompt volume, the number of prompts analyzed, an aggregated demand score, the actual prompts users submit, volume scores and trend signals, and mapped keywords and topics. With Prompt Volume, teams can reliably prioritize content and optimization for AI discovery based on real user intent.

What are people asking AI and how often?

Search behavior has shifted from isolated keywords to full, intent-rich prompts. Users now ask complete questions and expect direct, contextual answers. Examples of real user intent include questions such as What’s a low-calorie cola that still tastes good and Which fizzy drinks work best for parties. Keyword volume alone no longer captures this demand. Prompt Volume measures the frequency and trends of those natural-language prompts so brands can understand the true demand that drives AI answers.

What Prompt Volume measures

• Estimated monthly prompt volume: an aggregated estimate of how often a category, topic, or brand is asked about in AI prompts.
• Number of prompts analyzed: the count of unique prompts included in the analysis for a selected timeframe.
• Aggregated demand score: a normalized indicator that ranks prompt demand across categories and regions.
• Estimated prompts and volume scores: the questions people submit to AI with relative volume metrics.
• Trend signals: short-term and long-term indicators that show whether interest is increasing, stable, or declining.
• Keyword and topic mapping: links prompts to the keywords and topical themes that drive AI responses.

These measurable facts provide a single source of truth teams can quote when aligning strategy with AI discovery signals.

Why Prompt Volume matters for brands

• Prioritize with precision: focus content and optimization efforts on the prompts that have demonstrable demand.
• Reduce wasted effort: avoid covering low-demand prompts that dilute resources and lower impact.
• Align content to intent: craft answers and content assets that match the phrasing and context users supply to AI.
• Improve AI visibility: optimize for the prompts and topics that actually influence how AI surfaces products and recommendations.

Teams that adopt prompt-level demand signals move faster from insight to execution. Prompt Volume turns guesses about audience intent into measurable priorities.
