FAQ

Keyword research FAQs

Still have questions? Contact our team

Does Rank Prompt show whether a keyword has an AI Overview?

Yes. Every tracked keyword carries an AI Overview flag when Google answers that search with one, and each rank check records whether the overview names your brand and whether it cites your site. Those answers name a few brands and skip the rest, so the flag tells you which searches your AI visibility tracking should also watch, in Google AI Mode (AI Overviews) and the other five engines.

What else does a rank check read from the Google page?

Everything around the blue links: the AI Overview with its text and the pages it cites, the featured snippet and who holds it, People also ask with the page each answer comes from, related searches, and the Reddit, Q&A and forum threads and videos on the page. It comes with every rank check at no extra cost. A question tracks as a prompt, a related search as a keyword, and a thread goes to Community to draft a reply.

Where do I find new prompts and keywords to track?

In Explorer, from six sources: every query your site gets impressions for in Search Console, the keywords Google already shows you for, keyword research around a seed, the prompts any page answers (yours or a competitor’s), the prompts whose answers name a competitor and not you, and the web searches the engines ran behind your prompts. Every row says whether you already track it, and one click tracks it as a prompt or a Google keyword. Reading a page or researching a seed costs 1 credit and is free again for 24 hours; the other sources are free.

Where do the competitors in the keyword gap come from?

From your own AI reports. The businesses the engines name as direct or indirect competitors, with a website, become the list you pick from. Rank Prompt then lists the keywords they rank for in Google’s top 20 while your site does not, and marks the ones that share words with keywords you already track.

What is AI difficulty?

A score from 0 to 100 for how hard a prompt is to win in AI answers, read from the results your brand already paid for: crowding (how many businesses each answer names), gatekeeping (how concentrated the citations are), stability (how much the named set repeats between runs) and entrenchment (how often the top competitor appears). It costs nothing extra.

How many keywords can I track?

From 10 keywords per brand on the free plan to 500 on Agency Plus, with 10 to 1,000 Google rank checks per brand each day. A rank check costs 1 credit per 10 keywords, and a keyword checked in the last 20 hours is skipped and not charged.

How does keyword research work?

Type a seed and pick a mode: keyword ideas, long tail, exact phrase or related searches. Each search costs 1 credit and returns up to 300 keywords with volume, difficulty, intent, cost per click and yearly trend; the same seed and market within 24 hours comes back from the cache for free. Tracking a result takes one click.

Is keyword research on the free plan?

Yes. The free plan tracks 10 keywords per brand with 10 rank checks a day, and every new account gets 10 free credits for research, metrics and checks, no card needed.
