What Are Discovered Queries?

Discovered queries are prompts that RankGood finds through its AI scraping process — queries related to your market, product category, or competitors that you may not have thought to track. These represent real questions people are asking AI assistants.

How Discovery Works

  1. Navigate to AI Visibility > Discovered Queries.

  2. Click Run Discovery (or set up automatic discovery through scheduled scans).

  3. RankGood's AI scraper analyzes your product context and finds relevant queries being asked on AI platforms.

  4. Results appear as a list of discovered queries with associated search volume data.

Understanding the Results

Each discovered query shows:

Field

Description

Query

The discovered prompt or question

Search Volume

How often people search for this term monthly (from traditional search data)

Keyword Difficulty

How competitive this query is in search results

Relevance

How closely this query relates to your product

Adding Queries to Tracking

When you find a valuable discovered query:

  1. Click Add to Tracking next to the query.

  2. The query is added to your Tracked Prompts list.

  3. It will be included in your next AI Visibility scan.

You can also bulk-select queries and add them all at once.

Search Volume Data

The search volume column shows traditional search engine volume for each query. This helps you prioritize:

  • High volume + not tracked = High-priority prompts to add

  • Low volume but highly relevant = Niche queries that may have high conversion potential

  • High volume + already tracked = Confirm you are monitoring the most important queries

Tips

  • Run discovery regularly — new queries emerge as your market evolves.

  • Focus on queries with decent search volume — they indicate real user interest.

  • Look for "vs" and "alternative to" queries — these are high-intent decision-stage prompts.

  • Check if competitors appear in discovered queries — this reveals their AI positioning.
