A branded prompt names your brand: “what is Acme”, “is Acme legit”, “Acme vs Beta”. Koalr detects these automatically, marks the row with a Branded badge, and pins them in their own group at the top of the Prompts page.

Unbranded measures discovery, branded measures description

Because the question names you, AI will almost always mention you. A high visibility figure on a branded prompt is the expected baseline, not an achievement. So branded prompts are excluded from every rolled-up metric: Prompt Visibility Rate, Share of Voice and Sentiment on the Dashboard, the trend chart, the Multi-Site Dashboard, reports and exports. Including them would drag Prompt Visibility Rate towards 100% and hide the real picture. Their per-prompt data is all still there: full AI responses, sentiment, citations and per-platform detail, on the Prompts page and in each prompt’s detail view.

What branded prompts are for

  • Accuracy. Is AI’s description of you right, or is it repeating something from years ago?
  • Sentiment. When asked about you directly, is the tone favourable?
  • Sources. Which pages does AI lean on to describe you, and are they pages you would want speaking for you?
  • Comparisons. On “Acme vs Beta”, does AI actually recommend you, or just describe both?
The one branded figure that deserves alarm is a low one. If AI fails to mention you when asked about you by name, it barely knows you exist.

Weekly, not daily

How AI describes a brand moves slowly, so branded prompts are checked once a week rather than on every daily run. The row shows when it was last checked.

Overriding the detection

If a brand named after a common word is misclassified, use the row’s menu: Mark as branded or Not a branded prompt.
“Why did my score drop when I added a prompt with my name in it?” It did not. Branded prompts never affect Prompt Visibility Rate. “Why does my branded prompt show 100% but my score is lower?” The branded row reports its own mention rate; the score counts unbranded prompts only.
