How Frevana’s Tools Increase Your Product Visibility on AI Search Platforms

8 min read ·

Executive Summary

AI is quietly becoming your new search engine.

Your customers aren’t just “Googling it” anymore. They’re asking ChatGPT which tool to buy, checking Perplexity for product comparisons, and pinging Gemini or Amazon Rufus before they ever click “Add to cart.”

And here’s the uncomfortable truth: If your brand isn’t showing up in those AI answers, you’re invisible at the exact moment decisions are made.

That’s where Frevana comes in. Frevana is an end-to-end AI Engine Optimization (AEO) platform built specifically to help you:

  • Discover what people actually ask AI about your category
  • See how often (and where) AI recommends your brand
  • Automatically create and optimize content that AI models prefer, prioritize, and cite

In this article, we’ll walk through:

  • Why AI search is fundamentally different from traditional SEO
  • How Frevana’s tools plug into each step of winning visibility in AI answers
  • A practical, step-by-step approach to boosting your presence on ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, Amazon Rufus, and more

Introduction: The Invisible Battle in AI Answers

Picture this.

A potential customer opens ChatGPT and types:

“What’s the best [your product category] for small teams under $100/month?”

In that single response, the AI quietly:

  • Chooses which brands to list
  • Decides the comparison criteria
  • Frames the pros and cons
  • And basically creates the short list your buyer will actually consider

There’s no “scrolling through 10 blue links” anymore. There’s one answer, maybe a few options—and that’s it.

If your product isn’t in that answer, or even cited as a source, it’s like arriving at a trade show after they’ve locked the doors. The conversation already happened without you.

And no, simply “doing more SEO” won’t fix this.

AI engines don’t rank web pages the way Google does. They:

  • Read your content as training or reference data
  • Cross-check you against competing brands
  • Decide which products to recommend based on context, authority, and clarity

To show up where it counts now, you don’t just need SEO—you need AI Engine Optimization (AEO).

That’s the exact gap Frevana was built to fill.


Market Insights: Why AI Visibility Is the New Growth Channel

From Search Results to AI Answers

Classic SEO was all about:

  • Keywords
  • Backlinks
  • Cracking the top 10 search results

AEO flips that script. Now it’s about:

  • Prompts instead of keywords
  • Recommendations instead of rankings
  • Citations in AI answers instead of “position #3 on Google”

Think about the questions people are asking today:

  • “What’s the best…”
  • “What are alternatives to…”
  • “What should I use if I need…”

When someone types those into ChatGPT or Perplexity, the AI pulls from content it trusts, understands, and can easily summarize. Brands that are already playing this game are seeing:

  • Direct customers from AI recommendations
  • Organic growth without jacking up ad spend
  • A real, defensible edge in crowded categories

Some Frevana customers have seen outcomes like:

  • Going from essentially never being mentioned by AI to showing up in nearly half of relevant answers in just a couple of weeks
  • Becoming a top-three recommendation in ChatGPT in under a week
  • Watching organic traffic multiply several times over within the first month

Why Traditional SEO Tools Don’t Solve AI Visibility

Most SEO tools were built for a very different world. They:

  • Focus on Google’s ranking signals
  • Assume users will click through multiple options
  • Help you create content for search crawlers—not AI engines

But AI engines behave differently. They:

  • Pull from real, live human prompts, not static keyword lists
  • Blend multiple sources into one final answer
  • Prefer structured, scenario-based, comparison-ready content

So it’s not about “more content.” It’s about the right kind of content, in the right format, for AI systems—and being able to see if that content actually changes what AI recommends.

That’s where Frevana’s product relevance really kicks in.


Product Relevance: How Frevana Maps to the AI Visibility Funnel

Frevana is built around three core steps that mirror how AI visibility is actually won in the real world:

  1. User Prompt Research – Understand what people ask AI and why certain brands win.
  2. AI Visibility Monitoring – Track how often and where your brand appears in AI answers.
  3. Auto Content Creation – Produce and optimize the content AI engines love to read, quote, and recommend.

Let’s break each one down.


Step 1: Understand Real Prompts with User Prompt Research

You can’t optimize for AI if you have no idea what people are asking it.

Instead of guessing at keywords, Frevana taps into tens of millions of real user queries across major AI platforms like ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Gemini. You see the actual questions buyers are asking during:

  • Brand comparisons
  • Product research
  • Those “I’m about to make a decision” moments

Key Tools That Power This Step

🔍 User Prompt Research

This is like standing over your customer’s shoulder while they chat with AI (minus the creepiness).

It:

  • Reveals the exact questions people ask when they compare you to competitors
  • Surfaces pricing, feature, and use-case prompts that scream buying intent
  • Gives you a living map of your category through the lens of AI conversations

Think of it as market research conducted inside AI chats, not survey forms.

📖 Customer Scenario Strategist

Not all prompts are created equal. Some are curiosity. Others are “wallet in hand.”

This agent:

  • Analyzes how, when, and why customers really use your product
  • Connects AI prompts to real-world usage scenarios
  • Helps you pinpoint the “money moments” where it’s critical to show up

For example:

  • “What’s the best CRM for real estate agents working solo?”
  • “Tools like X but cheaper for small teams?”

Those aren’t just questions—they’re stories. They tell you who your buyer is and what they’re facing. Frevana helps you see and prioritize them.

🎯 Search Intent Classifier

This classifier takes all those prompts and sorts them into buckets like:

  • Commercial – comparing options
  • Transactional – ready to buy, now
  • Informational – just learning the basics
  • Navigational – trying to get to a specific brand

That way, you can focus first on the prompts most likely to drive revenue, not just “views” or vanity traffic.


Step 2: Make AI Visibility Measurable with Monitoring & Analytics

Knowing what people ask AI is one thing. Knowing whether AI actually chooses your brand is another.

Frevana’s AI Visibility Monitoring turns that big black box into a measurable, trackable channel.

What AI Visibility Monitoring Delivers

You’ll be able to see:

  • How often your brand appears in answers across:
    • ChatGPT
    • Perplexity
    • Gemini
    • Amazon Rufus
    • Other major AI engines
  • How those AI engines:
    • Describe your product (accurately? vaguely? incorrectly?)
    • Stack you up against competitors
    • Frame your pricing, strengths, and weaknesses

It’s like getting a transcript of what AI “thinks” about you across the internet.

Core Agents Behind the Scenes

📊 AEO Full-Stack Data Scientist

This is your tireless, never-sleeps analyst.

It:

  • Automates data collection and API calls across AI platforms
  • Rolls up visibility metrics like citations, mentions, and recommendation rankings
  • Surfaces trends and shifts without you touching a spreadsheet

Instead of drowning in exports, you get clean, visual dashboards that tell you if what you’re doing is working.

⭐ Brand Preference Analyst

This agent answers the question everyone secretly wonders:

“Which brands does AI actually prefer in my category—and why?”

It:

  • Identifies which competitors show up the most in AI answers
  • Analyzes why they’re getting picked (depth, clarity, authority, coverage, etc.)
  • Highlights exactly what they’re doing that you’re not

Think of it as competitive analysis—but from the AI’s point of view, not a human reviewer’s.


Step 3: Win Recommendations with AI-Optimized Content Creation

Once you know:

  • What people ask AI
  • When they ask it
  • Which brands AI favors right now

…you’re finally ready to take action.

Frevana’s Auto Content Creation tools help you produce the kind of content AI engines prefer without turning your team into a 24/7 content mill.

Agents That Turn Insight into Impact

💡 LLMs inc. Sitemap & Robots.txt Auditor

AI models need to be able to actually find and understand your content (sounds obvious, but it’s a common blocker).

This agent:

  • Audits your sitemap, robots.txt, and forms.txt
  • Flags technical issues that make it hard for AI models to crawl or interpret your site
  • Suggests structural fixes to improve “AI readability”

Think of it as technical SEO, but reimagined for large language models, not just search crawlers.

🏔️ AEO Content Advisor

This is your strategy brain.

It:

  • Studies top AI answers in your category
  • Finds content gaps where your brand should be cited—but isn’t
  • Generates content ideas explicitly designed to fill those gaps

It might uncover that you’re missing:

  • Detailed “best X for Y scenario” guides
  • Honest side-by-side competitor comparison pages
  • Clear, structured pricing breakdowns that AI can easily summarize

Instead of guessing what to write next, you get a prioritized list of “this is what AI wants to see.”

✍️ AEO Article Writer

Now comes the fun part: actually creating the content.

This agent:

  • Uses your blog titles, metadata, product website, keywords, and brand guidelines
  • Drafts long-form, AEO-optimized articles—not just “SEO blog posts”
  • Structures content so AI can extract, quote, and recommend it more reliably

You’re essentially publishing AI-ready knowledge assets, not random posts hoping to catch a keyword.

🐋 Product Landing Page Maker

If you sell on Amazon or rely heavily on marketplaces, this one’s a game changer.

This agent:

  • Pulls core product details from Amazon
  • Builds a dedicated landing page tailored for AI bot indexing
  • Helps AI engines understand your product beyond a basic marketplace listing

This is how an Amazon Best Seller like Doug (from Frevana’s case study) went from being completely ignored by AI to being cited in nearly half of relevant AI answers in just two weeks.

📢 AEO PR Strategist

AI visibility isn’t only about your own site.

This agent:

  • Designs a PR plan tuned specifically for AEO
  • Generates targeted pitches and outreach material
  • Helps you earn mentions and coverage on sites AI models already trust

Because AI engines pay close attention to cross-site signals, the AEO PR Strategist helps you build those signals deliberately, not accidentally.

Conclusion: Don’t Let AI Decide Your Future Without You in the Room

AI search isn’t “the future”—it’s already here.

Every day, ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, and Amazon Rufus answer millions of product questions like:

  • “What’s the best tool for…?”
  • “Which alternative should I consider to…?”
  • “What should I use if I’m a beginner / small team / low budget?”

Those answers quietly nudge people toward (or away from) specific brands. If your brand isn’t part of that conversation, you’re handing a massive growth channel to someone else.

Frevana gives you:

  • Visibility into what people actually ask AI about your category
  • Clarity on how often—and how well—AI recommends your brand today
  • A complete toolset to create content AI engines prefer, prioritize, and cite
