Visus Dictionary

Query pack

A query pack is a frozen list of natural-language questions that mirror how customers ask AI assistants about your category, brand, or location.

Why it matters

Random one-off prompts are hard to compare month to month. A query pack makes tracking repeatable.

How Visus measures it

Visus generates a starter pack from your audit, lets you test answers in the report, and freezes up to five questions per domain for monthly citation checks.

Example

“Best emergency plumber in Liverpool” and “Who services boilers near me?” might both sit in a local trade query pack.

Common misconception

A query pack is not a keyword list for Google. Keywords target ranking positions; a query pack mirrors full buyer questions the way people actually type or speak them into an assistant, so the wording is deliberately conversational.

FAQ

• How many questions should a query pack contain?

  Visus freezes up to five questions per domain for monthly checks. Fewer, sharper questions that match real buyer intent beat a long list, because you compare the same set month to month.

• Why freeze the questions instead of changing them each time?

  A fixed set makes results comparable over time. If you reword questions every run, you cannot tell whether a change in mentions came from your site fixes or from a different prompt.

• Can I test a query before adding it to the pack?

  Yes. The Visus report lets you test answers ad hoc, so you can see how assistants respond before committing a question to your frozen monthly pack.
