Step 1: Choose your prompts

Identify 100 to 200 fact-based prompts that are likely to surface verifiable claims about your brand. Good candidates include prompts about product specifications, pricing, policies, safety claims, features, and service terms. Avoid opinion-based or subjective prompts.

To learn more about FactCheck prompt best practices, see 📄 How to get the best results working with FactCheck.


Step 2: Apply the FactCheck tag

In the Prompt Designer, select your prompts, then select Edit > Analysis Types, and apply the FactCheck tag.

If you're already tracking prompts for Visibility or Sentiment, you can add FactCheck to those, or create new prompts specifically for FactCheck.


Step 3: Upload your source of truth documentation to Knowledge Bases

You can connect only one Knowledge Base to FactCheck.

Go to Knowledge Bases in the left navigation menu and upload your documentation as described in the 📄 Create and manage Knowledge Bases section. FactCheck uses the entire Knowledge Base as a source of truth, so there's no need for any special file structure, organize your documents however works best.


Step 4: Explore the results

FactCheck results typically take 7 days to appear. Once available, go to Answer Engine Insights > FactCheck to review them:

  • Browse claim clusters by theme and use the topic filter to drill into specific areas of concern.

  • Review the citation breakdown for inaccurate claims and note the URLs of the relevant pages to update.


Step 5: Take action

Run Agents directly from the inaccurate claim views to resolve them: depending on the best course of action, the Agent Assistant builds custom Agents, which you can refine or run as is.
