Integrate AI Marketing Into Your Store With Frevana

Executive Summary

AI isn’t just changing how people search—it’s quietly changing how they shop.

Instead of scrolling through pages of Google results, more and more shoppers are turning to tools like ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, and Amazon Rufus and asking questions like:

  • “What’s the best running shoe under $150?”
  • “Which vitamin brand is most trusted?”
  • “What’s a good alternative to [big brand] for sensitive skin?”

They ask, they wait a few seconds, and then—boom—AI serves up a short list of curated product recommendations. If your store isn’t in those answers, you’re basically invisible in a buying journey you never see.

That’s exactly where Frevana comes in. It’s not another “SEO helper” or generic AI tool. It’s an end-to-end AI Engine Optimization (AEO) platform built to help your brand:

  • Understand what people really ask AI when they’re ready to buy
  • Monitor how visible you are across major AI platforms
  • Automatically create AI-preferred content that gets your products recommended

In this article, we’ll walk through:

  • Why AI marketing is becoming essential for modern e-commerce
  • How to practically integrate AI marketing into your store’s growth strategy
  • How Frevana acts like a plug-and-play AI marketing engine for your store
  • Actionable steps you can start using this month

Introduction: Your Customers Are Asking AI About You (Even If You’re Not There Yet)

Picture this: a shopper is dealing with flaky, irritated skin and a tight budget. A few years ago, they’d type “best moisturizer for dry sensitive skin” into Google and wade through reviews and blog posts.

Now? They open an AI assistant and say:

“I have very dry, sensitive skin and a limited budget. What brands should I consider, and why?”

Instead of ten blue links, they get a short list of brands and products, explained like a helpful friend who’s done all the research already. If your moisturizer doesn’t make that short list, that shopper never even learns your name.

That gap between “we publish content” and “AI actually recommends us” is the new challenge.

And that’s the space Frevana is built for: helping brands show up right where AI makes recommendations and purchase decisions actually happen.

Market Insights: AI Is Quietly Becoming the New Shopping Front Door

From search engine to “decision engine”

Traditional SEO was built for a world where:

  • People type short phrases
  • They skim search results
  • They decide which link to click

AI assistants rewrite that playbook:

  • People ask full, detailed questions (“I’m training for a half marathon…”)
  • They get fewer, richer answers
  • The AI often suggests specific products, brands, and alternatives

So your goal is no longer just “rank higher.” It’s:

  • Being included in the answer
  • Becoming the brand AI feels confident recommending

Think less “Can I get to position #1?” and more “Am I one of the 3–5 brands AI trusts enough to mention when it really counts?”

New questions = new marketing battlefield

Consumers are now asking AI things like:

  • “Which brands are best for…?”
  • “What’s an affordable alternative to…?”
  • “What should I buy if I…?”

These aren’t casual, top-of-funnel searches. These are checkout-level decisions—like someone standing in your aisle, product in hand, deciding whether to put it in the cart.

The difference? Instead of whispering that question to a friend or searching your site, they’re asking ChatGPT, Gemini, or Perplexity.

If your AI marketing isn’t tuned for these moments, you’re:

  • Handing free visibility to competitors who show up more often
  • Spending more on ads to make up the gap
  • Missing out on a new organic growth channel: AI visibility

What Is AI Marketing in 2025 (Practically Speaking)?

There was a time when “AI marketing” meant, “We used an AI tool to write a product description.” That era is over.

For a modern store, AI marketing means:

  1. Understanding how real customers talk to AI
    • What exact prompts they use when they’re close to buying
    • What hesitations, fears, and goals they mention
  2. Shaping your brand so AI can easily “explain and recommend” you
    • Clear value propositions that are easy for AI to summarize
    • Product pages and content that map to real-world scenarios
  3. Continuously monitoring and improving how AI sees you
    • Which brands AI prefers in your category
    • How often and where your brand appears in AI answers
  4. Automating content and optimization so you can actually scale it
    • Not just one AI-written page, but repeatable workflows that grow with you

Frevana is built around these four pillars—so you’re not just “using AI,” you’re marketing to and through AI.

Product Relevance: How Frevana Bridges AI Marketing and Your Store

Think of Frevana as your AI-native growth stack—a kind of backstage pass to the places where AI is quietly shaping buying decisions.

Here’s how it connects to real, day-to-day e-commerce needs.

1. Discover what your customers actually ask AI

Feature: User Prompt Research & Customer Scenario Strategist

Most of us grew up on keyword research tools. Frevana takes that idea and gives it a 2025 upgrade.

Instead of guessing at keywords, Frevana:

  • Analyzes millions of real AI queries
  • Surfaces the exact prompts people use when they:
    • Compare brands
    • Decide what to buy
    • Look for alternatives
  • Identifies customer scenarios—the stories behind those prompts

So your thinking shifts from:

  • “What keywords are trending?”

to:

  • “What questions do shoppers ask AI when they’re almost ready to buy from my category?”

Once you know that, you can shape your product positioning, landing pages, and campaigns to directly answer those real questions, in the same language customers use.

2. Make your AI visibility measurable (not guesswork)

Feature: AI Visibility Monitoring & AEO Full-Stack Data Scientist

Right now, AI visibility is a bit like trying to see through frosted glass. You know conversations are happening, but you can’t quite tell what’s being said.

Frevana turns that fog into measurable data. You can:

  • See how often your brand shows up on:
    • ChatGPT
    • Perplexity
    • Gemini
    • Amazon Rufus
    • And other monitored AI engines
  • Track the specific prompts that matter, like:
    • “Best gluten-free protein powder”
    • “Sustainable sneaker brands under $150”
  • Compare your performance against competitors

The AEO Full-Stack Data Scientist handles the boring, technical stuff:

  • Pulling data
  • Making API calls
  • Running cross-platform analysis

Instead of paying a technical team to manually ask AI the same questions over and over, Frevana automates the entire feedback loop and hands you the insights you actually need.

3. Make your site and content easy for AI engines to “read”

Feature: LLMs Inc. Sitemap & Robots.txt Auditor

Here’s a detail most people miss: AI models don’t crawl the web exactly like Google does.

You might have a beautifully designed store that’s totally confusing to an AI engine.

Frevana helps you:

  • Audit your:
    • Sitemaps
    • robots.txt
    • forms.txt
  • Spot blockers and blind spots that keep AI from really “seeing” your products
  • Improve the “AI readability” of your domain

Think of it as turning on the lights backstage so AI can:

  • Discover your key pages
  • Correctly interpret your product features and benefits
  • Feel confident including your brand in answers

It’s like technical SEO—but rewritten for AI engines instead of just traditional search.

4. Fill content gaps with AI-preferred assets

Features: AEO Content Advisor, AEO Article Writer, Product Landing Page Maker

Once Frevana knows:

  • What customers are asking
  • How AI is currently answering
  • Where your brand is missing…

…it doesn’t stop at a report and a pat on the back. It actually helps create the content you need.

You can:

  • Use AEO Content Advisor to:
    • Analyze AI-generated answers in your niche
    • Identify content gaps that hold you back
    • Prioritize what to create first
  • Use AEO Article Writer to:
    • Generate AEO-optimized blog posts based on:
      • Your chosen blog titles
      • Your product site
      • Target keywords
      • Your brand guidelines
  • Use Product Landing Page Maker to:
    • Pull in product details (for example, from Amazon)
    • Build landing pages that are easy for AI bots to index and reuse

So you effectively shift from:

“We publish generic content and hope someone finds it”

to:

“We publish AI-aligned content intentionally designed to show up in AI answers.”

5. Align PR, brand positioning, and AI preference

Features: AEO PR Strategist, Brand Preference Analyst, Search Intent Classifier

AI marketing doesn’t live in a vacuum; it sits right alongside your PR, brand strategy, and content.

Frevana helps you connect those dots:

  • Brand Preference Analyst
    • Reveals which brands AI tends to recommend in your category
    • Explains why those brands usually win
    • Highlights where and how you can reposition your own brand
  • AEO PR Strategist
    • Builds a PR plan that’s tuned for AI visibility
    • Helps you craft pitches and stories that feed the narrative you want AI to “learn” and repeat about your brand
  • Search Intent Classifier
    • Tags prompts by user intent (commercial, transactional, navigational, informational)
    • Lets you match content, product pages, and campaigns to the right stage of the buyer journey

The result? AI marketing stops being an isolated experiment and becomes part of your entire growth engine.

How to Integrate AI Marketing Into Your Store With Frevana: A Practical Playbook

Let’s turn this into something you can actually do.

Here’s a step-by-step way to weave Frevana into your AI marketing efforts—without blowing up your existing strategy.

Step 1: Define your AI “battleground”

First, decide where you want to win. That means identifying:

  • Your top 1–3 product categories
  • The key comparison questions, like:
    • “Best X for Y use case”
    • “Alternative to [competitor]”
    • “What should I buy if I…?”

With Frevana, you can then:

  • Track up to 20 prompts on the Starter plan or 50 prompts on Professional
  • Focus on the questions closest to purchase decisions, not just casual browsing

Outcome: You walk away with a short list of AI moments that matter most for your store.

Step 2: Get a baseline of your AI visibility

Next, use Frevana’s AI Visibility Monitoring to answer some very real questions:

  • Do we show up when people ask AI about our category?
  • If we do show up, how are we being described? Do we sound like the hero—or a footnote?
  • Which competitors does AI seem to prefer, and what are they doing differently?

This will quickly reveal:

  • Low-hanging fruit – You’re mentioned, but in a weak or outdated way
  • Blind spots – You’re invisible in prompts you absolutely should own

Outcome: You know exactly where you stand today in AI-generated recommendations.

Step 3: Fix AI discoverability issues on your site

Now it’s time for a bit of behind-the-scenes cleanup.

Run the LLMs Inc. Sitemap & Robots.txt Auditor to:

  • Check that your product, category, and core pages are:
    • Crawlable
    • Linked in a logical way
    • Not accidentally hidden behind technical settings
  • Tweak robots.txt, sitemaps, and site structure so AI engines can move around your store easily

Think of this as an “AI health check” for your site.

Outcome: AI engines can actually find, process, and understand your content instead of bumping into dead ends.

Step 4: Build AI-ready content around real user prompts

This is where things get fun—and powerful.

Using User Prompt Research and AEO Content Advisor:

  1. Group your prompts into themes, like:
    • “Best budget-friendly …”
    • “For sensitive skin / allergies / sustainability”
    • “For beginners / experts / travelers / families”
  2. Map those themes to different types of content:
    • Product detail pages
    • Collection or category pages
    • Blog posts
    • Buying guides or FAQs

Then:

  • Use AEO Article Writer to create:
    • Buying guides that mirror how customers actually ask AI
    • Comparison posts (“Brand A vs Brand B vs [Your Brand]”)
    • Scenario-based guides (“What to buy if you…”)
  • Use Product Landing Page Maker to:
    • Build or refine your key product pages so they’re extra clear and AI-friendly

Outcome: Your site starts answering the same questions shoppers ask AI—in a format AI loves to reuse and recommend.

Step 5: Shape how AI perceives your brand

Now you move from “showing up” to standing out.

With Brand Preference Analyst and AEO PR Strategist, you can:

  • See what AI likes about the top brands in your space
  • Find the missing angles or differentiators in how you’re positioned today
  • Adjust your PR, messaging, and landing page copy to:
    • Emphasize your unique strengths
    • Repeat your key proof points clearly and consistently
    • Send AI a steady stream of coherent, memorable signals about who you are

It’s a bit like teaching a new salesperson how to pitch your brand—only this time, the “salesperson” is an AI engine that talks to millions of shoppers.

Outcome: Over time, AI engines are more likely to treat your brand as a relevant, trustworthy go-to recommendation.

Step 6: Measure, iterate, and scale

Here’s where Frevana shines: it’s designed for fast feedback.

Many customers see visibility improvements within a few weeks, such as:

  • Becoming a top-three recommendation on ChatGPT in their category
  • Seeing up to 4× more organic traffic in the first month

As you roll Frevana into your workflow:

  • Check AI visibility changes every 1–2 weeks
  • Double down on the prompts and content formats that move the needle
  • Use unlimited custom workflows (Professional & Enterprise) to automate:
    • Prompt tracking
    • Content creation
    • PR and outreach around AI visibility

Outcome: AI marketing turns into a repeatable, scalable growth channel, not a one-off test you forget about.

Conclusion: Don’t Let AI Skip Over Your Store

Right now, your future customers are already asking AI what to buy.

They’re not saying, “Tell me about this topic.” They’re saying, “What should I get?” And AI is answering with actual brand and product names.

If you’re not being intentional about AI marketing, you’re effectively letting those systems decide:

  • Which competitors get promoted
  • Which brands become the “default” choice
  • Who ultimately wins the sale

Frevana gives you a way to step into that invisible conversation and actually influence it:

  • Understand what people really ask
  • Measure whether and how you show up
  • Fix technical and content roadblocks
  • Scale AI-preferred content and strategy in a structured way
