Your AI marketing playbook for ecommerce

Promotion stages

Run AI marketing that lifts ecommerce performance

Get a working snapshot of how your store, product categories, and catalog currently show up in AI search. Beamtrace flags your visibility level, which competing stores are ahead of you, the citations backing them, and where the biggest opportunities sit.
Stage 1

Get AI marketing report

Drop your store's URL into Beamtrace. Get a report showing if your store gets mentioned in AI answers, how it's described, and where competitors are winning the answer instead.

  • Submit your store's website

  • Look through prompts shoppers use when researching products and stores

  • Get your baseline AI visibility reading

  • Find out which stores and brands are outranking you

  • Break the findings into visibility, content, citation, and reputation gaps

  • Prioritize fixes by how much they're likely to shift your AI presence

Stage 2

Collect ecommerce search prompts

A shopper uses AI to discover products, weigh alternatives, check sizing, and figure out delivery, sometimes all in one conversation. The prompt set needs to cover that whole arc, not only the search for your brand name.

  • Pull real language from search data, product Q&A, and support conversations

  • Cover prompts by product category, feature set, and shopper use case

  • Split prompts by price range, audience, and purchase intent

  • Add prompts around comparisons, sizing, shipping, and returns

  • Focus first on prompts tied to your highest-value products

  • Refresh the list as catalog, pricing, or seasonal demand shifts

Stage 3

Track your AI search visibility

Find out how often your store, products, and categories turn up for the prompts that matter, and how AI is presenting them when they do. A strong number in one category can mask a real gap in another. Beamtrace turns AI visibility into a metric worth watching.

  • Monitor mention frequency across your priority shopping prompts

  • Break results down by product and category

  • Flag high-value prompts where your store never shows up

  • Catch prompts where AI has outdated pricing, policy, or availability info

  • Watch for visibility shifts after catalog or content changes

  • Prioritize prompts with the strongest purchase potential

Stage 4

Analyze competing ecommerce stores

AI competitors shift by category, product type, price point, and shopper need. A store might own the broad category search and lose every specific comparison prompt to someone else entirely. Beamtrace shows exactly who's winning where, and what's backing their mentions.

  • See which stores keep coming up across your prompt list, and how often

  • Compare visibility by category, product type, and purchase intent

  • Find the specific prompts where a competitor consistently outranks you

  • Trace a competitor's mention back to the page, listing, or review behind it

  • Spot product areas where a rival has stronger content or citations

  • Identify prompts where the field is still open

Stage 5

Optimize your ecommerce website for AI search

AI systems rely on your website to understand what you sell, who it's for, and why it's the right fit. Beamtrace flags the content and structure gaps that keep that information from being read, cited, and recommended.

  • Check product and category pages against your priority prompts

  • Fill in details on features, materials, specs, and use cases

  • Clarify sizing, availability, shipping, and return information

  • Flag missing content for common high-value shopper questions

  • Strengthen category pages, buying guides, and FAQs

  • Keep pricing, stock levels, and policies current

  • Track visibility movement after each change

Stage 6

Strengthen the reputation signals AI uses

AI doesn't just read your website. Product reviews, marketplace pages, comparison sites, and other outside sources all feed into how your store gets described.

  • Spot recurring themes across store and product reviews

  • See which reputation topics show up in AI-generated answers

  • Catch negative patterns tied to shipping, quality, or service

  • Identify praise worth surfacing on product and category pages

  • Review the third-party sources tied to your brand

  • Track reputation shifts alongside your AI visibility score
