Your AI marketing playbook for retail
Promotion stages
Run AI marketing that moves retail numbers
Get a full picture of how your brand, stores, and product categories currently appear in AI search. Beamtrace surfaces your visibility level, the competing retailers taking your place, the citations behind their mentions, and the areas with the most room to improve your rankings.
Stage 1
Get AI marketing report
Beamtrace scans how AI models answer questions shoppers ask about the stores and product categories you sell in. Get a report showing your brand's mentions, descriptions, and competitors.
Add your retail or ecommerce website
See real prompts shoppers type into AI while comparing products and stores
Check your baseline AI visibility score
Find which retailers are showing up instead of you
Break the results down into visibility, content, citation, and reputation gaps
Prioritize fixes based on likely impact on shopping traffic
Stage 2
Collect retail search prompts
A shopper asks AI to discover products, compare stores, check prices, and find somewhere nearby to buy, often within the same conversation. The prompt set needs to cover that entire path, not just the moment someone searches your brand name.
Pull real questions from search data, customer inquiries, and product research
Cover prompts by product category, brand, use case, and shopping need
Split prompts by online, local, and in-store purchase intent
Add prompts around price, availability, delivery, returns, and comparisons
Focus first on prompts tied to your highest-value categories
Refresh the list as inventory, promotions, and seasonal demand shift
Stage 3
Track your AI search visibility
Find out how often your brand, stores, and product categories turn up across the prompts shoppers actually use, and how AI is describing you when they do. One category can dominate while another barely registers. Beamtrace tracks AI visibility as a metric you can watch move.
Monitor mention frequency across your priority shopping prompts
Break AI visibility down by product category and store location
Flag high-value prompts where your brand is missing entirely
Catch prompts where AI has outdated pricing, policy, or product details
Watch for visibility shifts after catalog or promotion updates
Prioritize prompts tied to your strongest purchase intent
Stage 4
Analyze competing retail brands
Competing retailers in AI search shift by category, location, and price point. A specialist store might beat a major brand for one specific product line while losing everywhere else. Beamtrace shows exactly who's winning which prompts, and what's backing their mentions.
See which retailers keep showing up across your prompt list, and how often
Compare visibility by category, product type, location, 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 categories where a rival has stronger content or citation coverage
Identify prompts where no retailer has a clear hold yet
Stage 5
Optimize your retail website for AI search
An AI model can only cite what's on the page: what you sell, where customers can get it, and why your offer fits what they're looking for. Beamtrace flags where that's thin or buried, and where the structure needs work before AI can pull from it with confidence.
Check category, product, and store pages against your top prompts
Spell out product types, features, brands, and use cases clearly
State pricing, availability, delivery, and return policies in plain terms
Fill in content for high-value shopper questions you're currently missing
Build out buying guides and FAQ content by category
Keep product, policy, and store hour details current
Re-check visibility after each page update
Stage 6
Strengthen the reputation signals AI uses
Your website is only part of the record. AI also draws on customer reviews, business listings, product discussions, and local coverage, all of it shaping how your brand gets represented and which themes come up most.
Sort recurring themes out of customer reviews
Spot which reputation topics AI is already repeating
Catch negative patterns around quality, delivery, or returns before they harden
Pull out praise worth reusing on your own website
Check third-party sources and listings tied to your brand
Track reputation alongside AI visibility over time
