  • 5 Intent prompts: Discovery queries (MOST VALUABLE!)

Prompt Categories Explained

Brand Prompts ✅

Can mention your brand name. Examples:
  • “What is Acme Inc?”
  • “Tell me about Acme”
  • “Who owns Acme?”
Expected visibility: 90-100%
Goal: Verify AI has correct info

Product Prompts ✅

Can mention your brand name. Examples:
  • “What services does Acme offer?”
  • “What is Acme’s main product?”
Expected visibility: 80-100%
Goal: Ensure AI knows your offerings

Competitor Prompts ❌

Must NOT mention your brand name. Examples:
  • “Best CRM for startups”
  • “Top alternatives to Salesforce”
  • “Acme vs HubSpot comparison”
Expected visibility: 30-60%
Goal: Appear in recommendation lists

Intent Prompts ❌ ⭐

Must NOT mention your brand name. MOST VALUABLE! Examples:
  • “What’s the best tool for sales automation?”
  • “I need a CRM for my startup, what do you recommend?”
  • “How do I automate prospecting?”
Expected visibility: 10-30% (> 20% is excellent!)
Goal: Get recommended organically
Intent prompts test if AI recommends you when users DON’T know you exist yet. This is the highest ROI category!

Prompt Validation

Automatic Validation

tldr.work checks that Intent and Generic prompts DON’T contain your brand name. Why? These prompts test organic discovery. Mentioning your brand defeats the purpose. If validation fails:
  • Prompt is reclassified to “Brand” category
  • Warning shown in UI
  • Fix manually or regenerate

Manual Check

Review each prompt:
  • Good intent prompt: “Best CRM for startups”
  • Bad intent prompt: “Is Acme a good CRM for startups?” (mentions brand)

Best Practices

Intent Prompts Should Be Specific

“What are trends in CRM?”Problem: Too broad, won’t mention brands

Include Location (If Relevant)

For local businesses:
  • “Best bakery in Paris”
  • “Top real estate agent in Lyon”
  • “Where to buy organic food in Bordeaux”

Test Competitor Comparisons

Add prompts like:
  • “Acme vs Competitor X”
  • “Why choose Acme over Competitor Y?”
  • “Acme alternative”

Multi-Language Support

Generate prompts in target market language:
"What's the best CRM for startups?"
AI engines respond in the same language as the prompt!
