Every AI scan query you need, instantly
Generate 32 to 53 buying-intent queries for your brand in one click. Up to 5 intent groups, per-query labels, CSV export, and direct links to the citation scanner.
You can not test AI visibility without the right prompts
Running a citation scan requires a query. Most teams either write them ad hoc (missing entire intent categories) or use generic prompts that do not match how real buyers actually ask AI systems about products. Both approaches produce incomplete data.
The Buying Intent Templates tool generates the full set of queries your brand needs to cover every intent stage: discovery, purchase-readiness, review validation, competitor comparison, and category research. Enter your brand, product type, and competitors once. Get a complete, organized query set in under a second.
Every stage of the buyer journey
Each group targets a distinct AI citation pattern. The vs-competitor group appears only when you add competitors.
Discovery queries for users starting their buying journey
These drive the highest AI citation volume. 'Best X' is the most common ecommerce AI prompt — and the one where brands without structured content get ignored.
Purchase-ready queries for users who have decided to buy
High commercial intent. AI answers these by citing official websites and authorized retailers. If your brand is not findable, AI sends buyers to resellers.
Pre-purchase validation for users looking for reassurance
AI pulls from Trustpilot, Reddit, and editorial reviews for these. Gaps in your review platform presence directly cost you citations here.
Head-to-head queries for users choosing between options
Comparison queries are the highest-converting intent type. Generated only when you add competitors. Each competitor adds 4 targeted vs-queries.
Awareness-to-decision queries for users learning before buying
These build early-stage brand familiarity. AI answers buying-guide queries from well-structured category pages with definitions, criteria, and taxonomy blocks.
More than a list of queries
Six capabilities that make the template output immediately usable across your citation testing workflow.
Instant, no AI call required
Templates are generated client-side from your inputs the moment you click Generate. No waiting for an API response. No credits consumed. Results appear in under a second.
Per-query intent labels
Every query is tagged with a granular intent type: Discovery, Purchase, Price check, Validation, Comparison, and more. Useful for prioritizing which queries to scan first.
Competitor vs-queries on demand
Add up to 5 competitors and the tool generates 4 head-to-head queries per competitor automatically. The vs-group only appears when competitors are present.
CSV export
Export the full query set as a CSV with query, intent group, and intent type columns. Ready to import into your tracking spreadsheet or feed into another tool.
One-click copy per group
Copy all queries in a group to your clipboard with one click, or copy individual queries row by row. Every query is formatted ready to paste into an AI chat or citation scan.
Price-filter queries
Add an optional price point and the tool generates a 'best [product] under [price]' query automatically. A small input, but one of the most commonly cited query patterns in AI shopping answers.
Generate queries. Then test them.
The template tool links directly to the tools that put your queries to work. Use the intent groups to know which use cases and competitors to test, then run them through the scanners.
Product Citations
Run a product citation scan using the use cases surfaced by your intent templates. Tests whether your brand is cited across ChatGPT, Claude, Google AI Overview, and Google AI Mode.
Competitor Monitor
Use vs-competitor queries from the template to run head-to-head citation comparisons against named competitors across all AI providers.
Intent Mapper
Take your full template query set and run it through the Intent Mapper to verify coverage and spot gaps in your current content strategy.
CSV export for your workflow
Export to CSV and use the queries anywhere: your own tracking spreadsheet, a manual testing session, or a content planning doc.
Common questions
What are buying intent templates?
Pre-built query sets organized by purchase intent stage. Instead of manually writing every AI scan prompt, the tool generates all the standard transactional queries for your brand and product type — best-of, where-to-buy, review validation, vs-competitor, and category research — in one step.
Does this tool cost credits?
No. The Buying Intent Templates tool is included with any paid plan and uses no credits. Templates are generated client-side from your inputs. There is no AI API call and no usage charge.
How many queries does it generate?
Between 32 and 53 depending on your inputs. The base set (without competitors or price point) produces 32 queries across 4 intent groups. Adding a price point adds 1 more. Adding competitors adds 4 queries per competitor — up to 20 additional from 5 competitors.
What do I do with the queries once I have them?
Use the intent groups to guide what you test elsewhere. The vs-competitor queries tell you which head-to-head comparisons to run in Competitor Monitor. The use-case and category queries tell you which scenarios to scan in Product Citations. Paste the full list into the Intent Mapper to classify them by AI intent type and find gaps. The tool links directly to both scanners.
Are the queries the same for every brand?
The template patterns are the same, but the queries themselves are fully personalized to your brand name, product type, competitors, and price point. 'Best noise-cancelling headphones' and 'where to buy Sony WH-1000XM5' are different queries even though they come from the same template structure.
Can I edit the queries before using them?
The tool outputs plain text queries you can copy and paste anywhere. There is no locked format. Copy the ones that are relevant, skip the ones that are not, and paste them directly into your citation scanner or tracking tool.
Stop guessing which prompts to test
