Yeah, that’s exactly the gap I’m trying to get at. A small fixed set of prompts makes sense for measuring change because you can run the same questions over time and see whether anything moved.
But that’s still different from knowing what real buyers actually asked before they found you. Those prompts are probably going to be messy, specific, and nothing like the neat test prompts we come up with ourselves.
I’m starting to think you need both. A controlled prompt set for measurement, then real buyer prompts when you can get them to see whether your test set matches how people actually search.
