   • If you don’t have an account, use the “Sign Up” option (usually located in the top navigation bar).
   • For existing users, click “Login” in the top-right corner and enter your credentials.
3. Select Your AEO Plan
   • Review available plans: Starter, Professional, or Enterprise.
   • Choose the plan that matches your requirements for scale, feature access, and available credits.
   • Initiate a 7-day free trial if you want to evaluate the platform with no upfront commitment.
4. Install or Enable the Agent Module
   • Locate the agent management section under your dashboard menu.
   • Click “Download Frevana” if required, or follow prompts to activate cloud-based agents.
   • For integrations, ensure you have permission (admin) to connect your website and configure APIs if needed.
5. Prepare Your Product and Content Data
   • Have your website URL, Amazon product links, and any relevant sitemap or robots.txt files ready for input.
   • Organize these assets in one place for easy upload or connection.

Starting the Agent

Launch the Frevana agent tailored to YJF and AEO protocols using these steps:

# Example shell command for agent launch (for advanced/enterprise users)
frevana-agent start --type yjf --product "YourProductName" --monitor "ChatGPT,Gemini"
            

AEO Integration Best Practices

Follow these recommendations to maximize your agent’s effectiveness and ensure compliance with AEO protocols:

1. Connect All Relevant Data Sources
   • Integrate your website, product listings, and content repositories.
   • Authorize access for AI prompt monitoring across all major models: ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, and more.
2. Monitor Sitemap and Robots.txt Compliance
   • Use the LLMs Sitemap & Robots.txt Auditor within Frevana to scan and optimize discoverability.
   • Review the audit report generated after each crawl for missing or non-compliant entries.
3. Enable Auto Content Creation and Gap Filling
   • Turn on automated content workflows for consistent, AI-friendly updates.
   • Deploy the AEO Content Advisor and Article Writer to fill content gaps identified in the monitoring phase.
4. Review AEO Compliance Checks
   • Regularly validate that your domain, brand, and product information are formatted per AEO protocol.
   • Address flagged issues immediately to ensure uninterrupted AI visibility.
5. Regular Visibility Monitoring
   • Activate real-time visibility dashboards.
   • Set up notifications for changes in AI ranking or prompt coverage.

Monitoring and Management

Once the agent is running, maintain operational excellence using these steps:

1. Track Agent Health and Status
   • Regularly review the agent’s health indicator (usually a colored dot or label in the dashboard).
   • Investigate warning or error statuses shown next to your agent.
2. Monitor AI Visibility Metrics
   • The dashboard displays visibility trends, AI mention frequency, and prompt coverage.
   • Compare week-over-week movement to assess optimization impact.
3. Adjust Workflow and Content Priorities
   • Update monitored prompts and tracked products as your product offerings evolve.
   • Prioritize content creation for areas flagged as low-visibility.
4. Schedule Reports and Alerts
   • Define the frequency at which you receive performance summaries (daily, weekly, monthly).
   • Set up email or in-platform NPS (notification push service) alerts for significant shifts in AI coverage.
5. Perform Regular Maintenance
   • Re-audit sitemaps and robots.txt files after major website changes.
   • Rotate API keys or credentials for security as directed in the admin console.

Troubleshooting Common Issues

Quickly resolve typical agent setup and operation challenges:

1. Agent Fails to Start
   • Check for missing required fields in the setup wizard.
   • Verify you have enough credits and active subscription status.
   • Reload the page and retry the launch; contact support if error persists.
2. No Data or Visibility Updates
   • Confirm your data integrations (website, product links) are correctly connected.
   • Review API connection status in the integration settings.
   • Ensure that the monitored prompts are active and relevant.
3. Compliance or Audit Failures
   • Download and examine the detailed audit report for your domain.
   • Address sitemap, robots.txt, or forms.txt issues directly on your website.
   • Re-run the audit after corrections.
4. Inaccurate AI Mention Tracking
   • Check that tracking keywords and product names are spelled and formatted correctly.
   • Update prompt monitoring parameters to include new variations.
5. Credit Limit Exceeded
