Your prompt set

Track the questions that decide who gets chosen

Your own prompts are the primary tracking layer. Build the set around real customer decisions, then evolve it whenever the market, product, or campaign changes.

01

Track the prompts that matter

Choose prompts that represent how buyers compare products, research options, and decide who to trust.

02

Organize by intent and topic

Group prompts by category, buying stage, product line, or campaign so every result stays useful to the team.

03

Measure the right market

Keep language and market explicit. Compare how the same decision changes across audiences and regions.

04

Change the set whenever you need

Add, edit, or retire prompts as priorities change. Search keywords remain visible when an AI platform returns them.

How AI presents your brand

A mention is not a recommendation

friction AI reads each answer in the context of your category. It distinguishes between being absent, being listed, being recommended, and being advised against.

01

Not mentioned

Invisible

The answer covers the category but leaves your brand out entirely.

02

Merely listed

Visible

Your brand appears, but the answer gives buyers no reason to choose it.

03

Actively recommended

Recommended

AI presents your brand as a suitable choice and supports the recommendation.

04

Advised against

Negative recommendation

AI warns buyers away from your brand, product, or fit for the specific need.

FAQ

How AI recommendation tracking works

What is AI visibility and recommendation tracking?

It measures how your brand appears in answers to prompts you choose to represent customer questions. friction AI separates being mentioned from being actively recommended, then shows sentiment, competitors, position, and the evidence behind each result.

How is recommendation tracking different from visibility?

Visibility tells you whether your brand appears. Recommendation tracking tells you whether the answer actually advises the user to choose your brand. A brand can be highly visible while rarely being recommended.

How are recommendation rate, share of voice, and average position calculated?

Recommendation rate is the share of usable responses that actively recommend your brand. Share of voice is your brand mentions as a share of all detected brand mentions in the selected prompt, platform, market, and time window. Average position is the mean listed rank where the platform provides a usable brand order.

Can we add and edit our own prompts?

Yes. Your custom prompt set is the primary tracking layer. You can update it as products, campaigns, customer questions, and priorities change.

How does sentiment analysis work?

friction AI uses a category-aware sentiment and recommendation model. It evaluates the dimensions that matter for the specific industry and use case instead of applying a generic positive-or-negative label.

What role does the Brand Audit play?

The Brand Audit is a consistent reporting baseline and safety net. Its curated prompt set and measurement method stay fixed while your editable prompt set changes. Results can still move as AI answers, platforms, and public information change.
