Best Practices

Tips and strategies to get the most value from Painkiller AI.

Writing Effective Queries

• Use natural language that matches how people actually ask questions
• Focus on problems and pain points, not just product features
• Include context: "looking for", "need help with", "struggling with"
• Avoid overly generic terms that will return too many irrelevant results
• Test queries manually before creating monitors

Monitor Strategy

• Start with 3-5 monitors and refine based on results
• Use daily schedules for most monitors to balance freshness and usage
• Create separate monitors for different customer segments or use cases
• Review and adjust monitors weekly based on result quality
• Deactivate monitors that consistently return irrelevant results

Engaging with Results

• Read the full conversation before responding
• Provide genuine value, not just a sales pitch
• Respond quickly—early responses get more attention
• Be authentic and helpful, not promotional
• Save high-quality leads for follow-up
• Rate results as good or bad—your feedback helps improve search quality over time

Managing Usage

• Monitor your usage meter regularly
• Use manual runs for testing new queries
• Consider weekly schedules for less critical monitors
• Upgrade your plan if you consistently hit usage limits
• Focus on quality over quantity—better queries mean better results
