The Story At a Glance

Challenge

Aetrex already won when shoppers searched for it by name, but was nearly invisible on the awareness stage questions where shoppers actually start looking. These are the moments new customers get made, before they ever know Aetrex is an option.

Solution

The team connected Yotpo Discover to a Claude-driven agent, automating the entire path from "the AI isn't citing us here" to a published, citable answer. Discover scores the gap and generates the content; Claude selects, validates, and stages it for approval.

Result

Awareness-stage visibility rose, putting Aetrex in front of shoppers earlier in their search. Its products now land the number-one spot more often, aetrex.com owns a bigger share of AI's cited sources, and new posts start earning citations within days.

"We've eliminated the guesswork from content planning. The platform identifies our highest-value opportunities and recommends the content most likely to drive meaningful business results."

Rui Kojima

Senior Director of eCommerce

Challenges & Solutions

Challenge

Invisible on the searches that matter

Aetrex dominated branded AI searches but was barely present on the awareness-stage, unbranded questions shoppers actually start with, like what insoles help plantar fasciitis, rarely mentioned in only 1 of 8 AI answers and buried when it did appear.

Solution

Claude agent runs the opportunities end to end

Discover surfaces scored opportunities; a Claude agent picks the highest-uplift plays via MCP, on a schedule or on demand. Mention rate rose 14.5% and answer position improved 11.3%. The Aetrex team only needs to approve it.

"Instead of debating what to create next, we ask the agent where the greatest opportunity exists. Within minutes, we have a prioritized content strategy backed by data using our company knowledge base & brand voice."
