Semantic Core

Your semantic core is the tailored set of buyer-intent prompts Rankry tracks for your brand. It defines what "visibility" means for you, so getting it right is the difference between tracking the questions your buyers actually ask and tracking noise.

What Rankry measures

When you onboard, Rankry automatically generates a set of prompts tailored to your category, audience, and competitors. You then customize it, adding, removing, and editing prompts, so the core reflects your real market. Every downstream metric is computed from this core.

Example use case

A B2B team refines their generated core by adding industry-specific phrasing their buyers use and removing consumer-style queries that do not apply. Their visibility data immediately becomes more representative of real demand.

FAQ

Semantic Core questions

Do I have to build the prompt set myself?
No. Rankry generates a tailored set automatically when you onboard. You customize it from there to match how your buyers actually phrase their questions.
Why does the semantic core matter so much?
Because it defines what gets measured. Every visibility, position, and share-of-voice number is computed from it, so a representative core makes every downstream metric meaningful.
Can I change the core later?
Yes. You can add, edit, and remove prompts at any time as your market, audience, or competitors change.
