Missing Prompts

What it is: A dashboard in GEO (Generative Engine Optimization) that shows queries where competitors are mentioned but your brand isn’t. These are your missed AI visibility opportunities.

Objective & Benefits

Spot gaps fast: See exactly which prompts you’re absent from.
Prioritize content: Turn each missed prompt into a content/task brief.
Track progress: Watch the count trend down as you fix gaps.

When to Use It

Use this page when you want to:

Audit where AI assistants (ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews, etc.) skip your brand.
Plan new content or updates to win those mentions..

Page Anatomy

1. Header Metrics & Controls

Answers so far: Total AI answers analyzed where your brand was missing.
Last updated: Timestamp of the latest data refresh.
Date picker: Choose the time range you’re reviewing.
Comparison (Changes): Compare current data to a previous period (e.g., last 7 days) to see deltas.

2. Trend Chart

A line chart that visualizes the count of missing-prompt answers over time (daily/weekly). A downward trend = you’re improving.

3. Filters

Platform: Limit to one AI platform or view all.
Topic: Narrow to a content cluster/theme.
Prompt search/sort: Find or sort specific questions.

4. Table of Missing Prompts

Each row lists a prompt where your brand wasn’t mentioned:

Platform – Where the answer came from (ChatGPT, Perplexity, etc.).
Topic – The thematic bucket for the prompt.
Prompt – The exact user query.
Brand Mentions – Always 0 here (that’s why it’s in this list).

Optional: Clicking a row (if enabled) opens the answer details to see which competitors were cited and why.

Step-by-Step Workflow

Pick your scope: Set date range, choose a platform/topic if needed.
Scan the chart: Note spikes or drops in missing prompts.
Review the table: Identify high-value prompts (high intent, high volume, strategic keywords).
Create/optimize content: Use Writesonic’s tools to draft or improve articles targeting those prompts.
Re-check later: Return to see if the prompt drops off the list (i.e., you got mentioned).

Best Practices

Group similar prompts and address them with one comprehensive resource.
Mirror the language of the prompt in your content (titles, headings, FAQs).
Add citations, stats, and structured data to increase your chance of being referenced by AI.
Track weekly to keep momentum and prove ROI.

FAQs

Does this include prompts where no brands are mentioned?
No. This view focuses on prompts where others are mentioned and you’re not.

Why is “Brand Mentions” always zero here?
Because this page only shows missing prompts—by definition, you’re absent.

Can I see the actual AI answer?
If available, click the prompt row to view the answer and cited sources.

How quickly will changes show up?
After you publish/optimize content, allow some time for AI systems to re-crawl. Check back in a few days or weeks, depending on the platform’s refresh cadence.

Summary

Use Prompts: Missing Prompts as your to-do list for AI visibility. Filter, find the gaps, fix them with targeted content, and monitor the trend downwards.
