Prompt Targeting — How to Choose Your AI Search Queries

Prompt Targeting is how you tell us which AI search questions to optimize for. Here's how to choose the right prompts and what happens after you select them.

What is Prompt Targeting?

Prompt Targeting is Click Elevate's system for choosing the specific AI search queries you want your business to appear in. Instead of guessing which prompts matter, we generate a personalised list based on your business, services, location, and competitors — then you pick the ones that matter most.

How to Access Your Prompts

Log in to your portal and click Prompts in the sidebar. If you have completed onboarding, you will see a list of AI-generated prompts ready to review. If the list is empty, click Generate Prompts to create your first batch.

Understanding Prompt Difficulty

Each prompt is rated Easy, Medium, or Hard:

Easy — Niche, specific, low-competition. Examples: "best [specific service] in [small city]", "[service] for [specific customer type] near me". These are your fastest wins — aim to dominate these first.

Medium — Moderate competition, core business queries. Examples: "best [service] in [city]", "top [service] companies in [area]". These represent the bulk of your target prompts.

Hard — Broad, high-volume, highly competitive. Examples: "best [service] company", "[service] near me". These take longer but deliver the most visibility when achieved.

How Many to Select

Your monthly allowance: Starter — 10 prompts. Growth — 20 prompts. Authority — 30 prompts.

Strategy tip: Fill your allowance every month. Unused prompt slots are wasted optimization capacity. Start with 70% Easy/Medium prompts to build momentum, then add Hard prompts as your authority grows.

What Happens After You Select

Each selected prompt creates a tracked deliverable in your Deliverables tab. Our team then:

  1. Tests the prompt across all AI platforms to see who is currently appearing
  2. Identifies exactly why competitors are appearing and you are not
  3. Builds the specific content, schema, or citation needed to close that gap
  4. Re-tests at month end to measure improvement

Regenerating Prompts

You can regenerate your prompt list at any time from the Prompts page. Previously selected prompts remain locked in — only unselected prompts are replaced with new suggestions.
