Abhord Product Guide (2026 Refresh): From Setup to Action
What’s new in this edition
- Broader LLM coverage and modes: treat “chat” vs. “search-augmented” answers as separate panels when you can. Results often diverge meaningfully by mode.
- More robust prompt sets: include neutral category, comparative, and “reasons why” prompts to capture both awareness and consideration signals.
- New diagnostic KPIs to track alongside mentions: citation rate (links to your domain), first-mention prominence, and answer consistency across runs.
- Stronger governance: standardize aliases and disambiguation early—this improves match quality and cuts false positives downstream.
1) Initial setup and configuration
Your goal in setup is clean entity definition and reproducible runs.
- Create a workspace and project
- Name by market and theme (e.g., “US – Project Management – Q1 2026”).
- Select target locales and languages you plan to test. Keep each project single-locale for cleaner comparisons.
- Define entities
- Brand: official name, website, and canonical description.
- Aliases: product lines, abbreviations, prior names, misspellings. Include competitor aliases now; it reduces later clean-up.
- Disambiguation
