What is LLMO prompt intelligence?
LLMO prompt intelligence is the systematic discovery, categorisation, and opportunity scoring of the conversational queries people use to ask large language models about a category, a competitor, or a specific problem — with the goal of identifying which of those queries represent achievable citation opportunities for a specific brand. It is the research foundation of any LLMO programme and the intelligence layer that separates targeted LLMO content investment from guesswork.
How is this different from keyword research?
Keyword research maps fragmented, index-optimised terms that users type into search engines. LLMO prompt intelligence maps the full, conversational questions that users ask LLMs — typically longer, more specific, and structured as requests for recommendation, comparison, or explanation rather than as index queries. The signals that earn citations in LLM responses are also structurally different from the signals that earn search rankings. Content depth, citation format, topical authority, and structured data all play different roles. The two types of intelligence are complementary, but they are not the same input.
What makes a prompt high-opportunity for an Australian business?
A prompt scores as high-opportunity when the LLM consistently draws on external sources when answering it, when the existing citation set is not completely dominated by global reference sources with authority levels your brand cannot match in the near term, and when the signal patterns of cited sources are ones your brand can realistically replicate or improve on. For Australian businesses, this often means prompts where local context, local expertise, or locally-relevant comparisons are part of the response — prompts where a well-positioned Australian source has genuine competitive relevance against global generalist content.
What is the turnaround time?
The standard engagement runs two to three weeks from briefing to delivery. The first week covers category prompt mining and categorisation. Weeks two and three cover citation opportunity scoring and competitor citation mapping across all 100+ prompts. Categories with higher complexity or broader scope may require a slightly extended timeline, which is discussed at briefing.
What does this cost?
Australian engagements are priced from AUD 4,500 for a single-category prompt library covering 100+ prompts across five LLMs with full scoring, competitor citation mapping, and implementation briefs. Multi-category engagements and ongoing monitoring programmes are scoped separately based on category breadth and competitive density. Pricing is confirmed after a discovery call.
How does the output get used in practice?
The ranked prompt library becomes the operational centre of your LLMO content programme. Content teams use the high-opportunity tier as the brief for their next production sprint — each prompt has an implementation note explaining what format and signals are most likely to earn a citation. SEO and PR teams use the competitor citation map to identify specific signal gaps to close. Marketing leadership uses the prompt categorisation to understand how AI is framing the category and where the brand currently sits. Most clients revisit the library each quarter as LLM citation behaviour continues to evolve.
