# Prompt volume

The number of prompts an engine is queried with when tracking visibility. Tools often meter usage by it.

Prompt volume is roughly the AI-era equivalent of search volume, though it is harder to pin down. Broader coverage gives a more reliable read of your visibility.

Relevance beats raw volume, though. Fifty prompts that match real buyer questions are worth more than a thousand generic ones, and they cost less to run.
