How to add custom prompts to your scans

3 min read Updated July 2026

GEOpulse auto-generates prompts for your market, but the ones you know your customers ask are often the most valuable. You can add your own from the Prompts page.

Custom prompts are a paid feature: Pro includes 5 and Business 20. Free plans run the auto-generated set only.

Writing a good prompt

Write prompts the way a real customer would type them into an AI assistant — natural questions, not keywords:

  • Good: "What's the best used-car dealer in northern Athens for a first car?"
  • Less useful: "used car dealer Athens"

Include the intent and any qualifiers that matter — location, budget, use case — because those are what make the AI pick a short list.

Tips

  • Cover the full journey: discovery ("who are the best…"), comparison ("X vs Y"), and trust ("is X reliable?").
  • Add a few prompts a competitor would clearly win, so you can track when you start closing the gap.
  • Keep each prompt to a single question; split compound questions into two.

New prompts are included from your next scan onward — see plan limits for the numbers.

Your custom prompts are yours alone. Even where a report is shared with someone else, they only ever see the auto-generated prompts — a custom prompt reveals what you're worried about, so it never leaves your account.
