TL;DR

You cannot track AI citations for prompts you invented. Five sources — customer interviews, PAA, Reddit/Quora, Prompt Radar, and sales calls — surface the real prompts your buyers are typing this month.

Key facts
  • Customer interviews yield the highest-intent prompts.
  • People Also Ask is a proxy for the questions AI answers.
  • Sales-call transcripts often reveal prompts marketing never guessed.

The five sources

  • Interview 5 recent customers: ‘What did you ask ChatGPT before you found us?’
  • Pull People Also Ask from your top keywords.
  • Scrape Reddit and Quora for question-format posts in your niche.
  • Use our Prompt Radar to auto-discover them.
  • Watch sales calls — the first 90 seconds is a goldmine.
