Use the bank, not the whole bank

Freeze a smaller, defensible test

Replace the bracketed fields with language your buyers actually use. Remove questions that do not affect discovery or a buying decision. Then freeze the final wording, market, locale, providers, and collection date.

Do not mix brand-named prompts into a discovery score. If the question already supplies the brand, the answer cannot prove that an AI system would have discovered it independently.

Questions about the questions

How to keep the test honest

Should every brand run all 100 AI visibility prompts?

No. Treat the list as a research bank. Select a smaller set that represents real buyer decisions, freeze it, and run the same questions across providers and reruns. The 25-question starter set uses 20 neutral discovery questions and five brand-named diagnostics.

Why separate neutral prompts from brand-named prompts?

A brand-named question tests recognition and factual accuracy after the user supplies the brand. A neutral question tests discovery: whether the brand appears before it is named. Combining them inflates visibility and hides the more important discovery gap.

Can these prompts predict real search volume?

No. They are structured test questions, not a claim about prompt frequency or representative sampling. Validate them with customer interviews, sales calls, site search, support logs, paid-search data, and conventional keyword research.

How should AI visibility answers be scored?

Keep mention rate, prominence, selected-competitor share of voice, citations, sentiment, and provider coverage separate. Preserve the answer and source evidence behind every metric, and report failed or unsupported runs as coverage rather than silent misses.
