Discovery intent
Prompts where buyers explore a category without a shortlist yet.
Definition
Discovery intent favors clear category pages, alternatives lists, and entity-clear product summaries.
In practice
- Use precise language on public pages so assistants and crawlers share the same meaning
- Pair definitions with crawlable HTML, metadata, and intentional robots policy
- Measure outcomes (mentions, citations, pillar scores) after you change signals
