Optimize for the Prompts that Matter

Focus on Demand

Stop optimizing for prompts no one is asking. Allocate resources based on real volume signals.

Competitive Advantage

See the demand data your competitors can't. Spotlight is among the first to bring prompt intelligence to AI visibility.

Strategic Priority

Connect AI exposure to genuine user interest. Ranking for a ghost prompt is a vanity metric.

Content Optimization

Create content that AI models are more likely to cite for high-volume, high-intent queries.

How is Prompt Volume Calculated?

There is no publicly available search volume for AI prompts. Spotlight developed a proprietary calculation that combines three distinct data sources into a confidence-weighted volume signal.

01

Real-time usage data

We work with various consent-based data sources that capture anonymized daily prompt activity, providing directional signals about current user behavior across different platforms.

02

Search demand alignment

We analyze patterns between traditional search behavior and AI interactions using various data signals to ground prompt volume estimates in proven user intent.

03

AI model insights

We incorporate insights from models trained on historical interaction patterns to provide additional context about prompt trends over time.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a prompt volume index?

A relative measure of how frequently a prompt is asked in your target market. It is not an absolute number, but an index over a rolling 2-month period to help you prioritize tracking and optimization efforts.

Is AI prompt volume exact?

No official dataset exists for AI usage. Our data is an estimated prioritization signal built from multiple independent, anonymized sources to provide directional intelligence.

How is this different from keyword search volume?

Keyword volume measures what people type into search engines. Prompt volume reflects how people interact with AI systems, which is often longer and more conversational.

Can I filter or sort by volume?

Yes. Prompt volume is integrated directly into the Spotlight dashboard, allowing you to filter by impact and focus on high-demand opportunities first.

What countries and languages are supported?

Spotlight supports all countries and languages—we are the only provider in the market that offers comprehensive global coverage for prompt volume data.

Is prompt volume available in all Spotlight plans?

Yes, prompts in all our plans include prompt volume data. An advanced volume research tool with deeper analytics and insights is available exclusively to premium plans.
