# Getting Started with Qwairy: Onboarding Guide

Welcome to **Qwairy** — your strategic tool to monitor and improve how your brand is represented in AI-powered search engines like ChatGPT, Perplexity, and AI Overview.

## Step-by-Step Onboarding Process

The onboarding wizard guides you through **5 steps** to set up your brand monitoring.

<Steps>
  <Step title="1. Website">
    Enter your website URL. Qwairy automatically analyzes the submitted URL with an AI model to:

    * Extract your brand name and domain
    * Generate a brand description
    * Detect language and country

    Qwairy does not crawl or scrape your site — it infers this information from the URL you provide.

    <Note>
      Review and edit the auto-generated information for accuracy.
    </Note>

    <Warning>
      One brand = one country. Add separate brands for multiple markets.
    </Warning>
  </Step>

  <Step title="2. Topics">
    Qwairy generates **priority topics** based on your brand analysis. Topics are semantic themes you want your brand associated with.

    Each topic has a priority level:

    * **Critical** — Highest strategic importance
    * **High** — Important for visibility
    * **Medium** — Relevant topics
    * **Low** — Nice to monitor

    You can:

    * Keep or remove suggested topics
    * Add custom topics
    * Maximum **5 topics**

    <Note>
      Deleting a topic removes all associated prompts.
    </Note>
  </Step>

  <Step title="3. Prompts">
    Qwairy auto-generates **natural language prompts** for each topic. These are the questions users ask AI platforms.

    <img src="https://mintcdn.com/qwairy/4Z9ttgZtiIq38oup/images/queries-onboarding-qwairy-most-advanced-geo-tools.png?fit=max&auto=format&n=4Z9ttgZtiIq38oup&q=85&s=6c033f52b5afcf0f72f859520803d426" alt="Queries Onboarding" width="939" height="838" data-path="images/queries-onboarding-qwairy-most-advanced-geo-tools.png" />

    Each prompt includes:

    * **Question text** — The actual prompt
    * **Funnel type** — TOFU, MOFU, or BOFU
    * **Topic** — Associated keyword

    You can:

    * Review and customize generated prompts
    * Add your own prompts
    * Maximum **50 prompts**

    <Note>
      Each prompt becomes a visibility checkpoint where Qwairy tracks if your brand appears.
    </Note>
  </Step>

  <Step title="4. Monitoring">
    Configure how Qwairy monitors your prompts.

## What About Competitors?

Competitors are **automatically detected** when they appear in AI-generated responses. You don't need to add them during onboarding — Qwairy identifies them for you.

You can always add, edit, or remove competitors later in **Monitor > Competitor Mentions**.
