1. Market Research Prompts for Perplexity

So, why do I like Perplexity as a recommendation for doing better market research?

I find Perplexity particularly appealing because it gives me the ability to upload my own documents which Perplexity can combine them with web-based information to provide a more comprehensive and contextual outcome, and not just any LLM gibberish. This feature is invaluable when I'm working on market analysis or competitive research, as it allows me to cross-reference my own data with the latest external information.

Moreover, the transparent source citation gives me confidence in the information I'm using to make strategic decisions.

The real-time web searches ensure that I'm always working with the most current data. The conversational interface and follow-up questions make the research process feel more intuitive and thorough.

It's like having a knowledgeable research assistant who understands the context of my queries and can dig deeper when needed.

Before we go into how to prompt Perplexity, make sure you:

  1. Ask specific questions related to your research topic

  2. Provide context and parameters for your search

  3. Specify the format you prefer for the results
