If you’ve ever stared at a list of keywords in Google Search Console wondering how to turn that data into something genuinely useful, you’re not alone.
Despite the fact that Google still won’t break out AI Overview performance data (Grr!), most SEOs know that GSC is packed with gold: thousands of real search queries straight from Google, showing what your audience is actually searching for and how they found you.
Over the past year or two, plenty of SEOs have shared clever ways to mine that data using regex to extract question-based queries such as “how”, “what”, “where”, “why”, and “can”. It’s a smart approach, and it works — but it’s still a manual process that relies on pattern matching rather than true understanding.
For example, a commonly shared regex pattern looks like this:
^(who|what|where|when|why|how|can|does|do|is|are|should|could)\b
You can paste that into the Query filter (matches regex) field in Search Console to surface all the question-type searches your site already appears for.
It’s a great start for research, but we wanted to make it faster, more flexible, and a lot more powerful. So, we built a free Google Search Console Prompt Generator that uses a large language model (LLM) to analyse your exported GSC data and generate hundreds of natural, well-structured prompts automatically.

How It Works
- Export your data from Google Search Console
Go to your GSC Performance report, choose Queries, and export your keywords as a CSV file. You can select up to 1,000 queries, though the current version of our tool supports up to 500 at a time. - Upload your CSV file
Drag and drop your file into the tool. Within seconds, it analyses your search queries and turns them into question-based prompts that reflect how users actually search. - Select your language
If your keywords are in a language other than English, you can generate prompts in that same language. You can also enable simultaneous English translation, which is ideal for international SEOs managing multilingual sites and markets.
Download and use your prompts anywhereYou’ll receive a clean list of question-based prompts ready to use in ChatGPT, Gemini directly if you are checking manually, or, better still, check how you are performing in ChatGPT, AI Mode, Perplexity and so forth, in our own AI Search Platform. (You’ll definitely want to try them there! - Although, other inferior AI search tools are available, of course.)
Why Use It
- Generate prompts based on what’s already performing in Google^
- Save hours of manual regex and spreadsheet work
- Create multilingual prompts and translations effortlessly
- Perfect for agencies managing global SEO campaigns
^ For me, this is particularly useful, particularly in a world where there are no actual accurate AI prompt volumes available.
Why Google Search Data is the Most Reliable Starting Point
You could simply use your GSC keywords and query AI search engines to understand your performance, but where's the fun in that? And besides, our research into real Grok user prompts and our comparison with ChatGPT’s public data on user behaviour, shows that users typically enter longer queries in AI chatbots than they do in traditional search engines, so converting those keywords from a traditional search engine to longer prompts makes sense - well it does to me anyway!
At present, there are no truly accurate AI prompt volume figures available, regardless of claims made by some AI search tools. No AI platform is releasing first-party data on prompt usage, so any numbers out there are, at best, speculative. The reality is that the best we can do is to model estimates based on Google Search AdWords data, keyword volumes, and possibly clickstream data (which could contain PII data). Even then, you’re only able to make an educated guess, factoring in the market share of various AI platforms, but without real first-party data to validate those assumptions, the reliability of such models remains questionable.
Given these limitations, it makes sense to begin with prompts where you already have proof of performance in Google. When you start with keywords for which you have data on impressions and clicks, you at least have a tangible measure of relative demand. This approach provides a far more meaningful baseline for prompt creation, giving you a solid foundation from which to build your content strategy.
