Search Demand

Search demand tells you how often people search for the topic behind each tracked prompt, each month. Use it to choose which prompts to work on first: losing a prompt that many people search for costs you more than losing one few people look up.

The number counts web searches. Citlyze has no figure for how often people ask a prompt inside an AI engine.

Search demand is included on every plan, and there is nothing to set up.

Where you see itCopy Anchor Link

• Prompts table: the Search demand column shows a band for each prompt: High, Medium, or Low. The column appears on wide screens once your workspace has readings. Select the column heading to sort by it.
• Band details: select a band to see the keyword behind it, its searches a month, and the market.
• Prompt detail panel: lists every keyword Citlyze looked up for the prompt, with its searches a month. The keyword the band comes from is in bold.
• Phone: each prompt card shows the band.
• CSV export: on plans with CSV export, the file gains three columns: search_demand, demand_keyword, and monthly_searches.

Reading the bandsCopy Anchor Link

High, Medium, and Low rank your prompts by how many people search for their topic. Select a band to see the monthly searches behind it.

No data means there is no search figure for the prompt's keywords in that market. A new prompt can take up to a week to get its first reading.

The keyword behind the numberCopy Anchor Link

A prompt is a full question, and people type shorter phrases into a search engine. Citlyze matches each prompt to short keywords with the same meaning and shows the searches for the closest one that has data.

• Closest search: the keyword keeps the specific meaning of the prompt.
• Broader topic: no specific keyword had data, so the number belongs to the wider topic. The band is grey. Expect fewer searches for the prompt itself than the figure shows.

The search counts of two keywords for the same prompt can differ tenfold, so read the number together with its keyword.

Which market it coversCopy Anchor Link

Each reading is for one country and the language of the prompt. Citlyze uses your workspace's primary market, and the band details name the country. A prompt you track in several markets shows the figure for the primary market.
