§03: The 5 enterprise prompt shapesFive prompt shapes
run the enterprise funnel.
We map your category against every prompt shape, audit the citation sources for each, and ship the source content per shape. Enterprise categories live or die on these five.
§03.01Analyst
“What did Gartner / Forrester rank for [category]?”
AI heavily cites the analyst quadrants and waves. Your placement on Gartner Peer Insights, Forrester reviews, and category Magic Quadrants is cited verbatim. We optimize the analyst-facing surface.
Gartner Peer Insights + analyst content
§03.02Shortlist
“Best [category] for [Fortune 500 in regulated industry].”
Specificity is the unlock. Generic “best [category]” shortlists are dominated by mass-market players. The verticalized prompt is where enterprise platforms win, if the verticalized content exists.
Verticalized landing pages + listicles
§03.03Compliance
“Is [vendor] SOC 2 Type II / GDPR / FedRAMP / HIPAA-ready?”
AI cites your trust center directly when this question gets asked. Public trust pages, security architecture documents, and compliance landing pages, not gated PDFs. Most enterprises lock this content behind a form.
Public trust center + compliance pages
§03.04Vendor-vs-vendor
“[Vendor A] vs [Vendor B] for [enterprise scale + use case].”
Same shape as SaaS but with stricter standards. Your /vs/ pages need to be honest, audited by sales, and structured for citation. Plus the matching G2 / Gartner Peer Insights and SE-led case studies.
/vs/ pages + analyst reviews + case studies
§03.05Migration
“Migrating from [legacy vendor] to [modern alternative]: risks?”
The single highest-intent enterprise prompt. Buyers run this when they’re committed to leaving an incumbent. We ship migration-from pages, named-incumbent guides, and reference customers willing to talk migration.
/migrate-from/ pages + reference customers
