Gravton in One Paragraph
Gravton is an AI shopping intelligence platform for e-commerce brands. Gravton shows a brand which of its products ChatGPT, Gemini, and Google AI Mode recommend, why AI chose them, and which merchants appear on each product’s shopping card. Gravton then ranks the fixes by shopper demand, enriches the brand’s catalog and feeds, and measures what moved. Gravton works at SKU level and catalog level across every market a brand sells in.

What Gravton Believes
Gravton’s product decisions follow six principles.
The product is the unit, not the brand mention. AI shopping answers pick specific SKUs and attach buy buttons to specific merchants. Gravton measures at that level.
Demand comes first. Gravton ranks prompts and fixes by real shopper demand, using the brand’s own Google Search Console data, not synthetic prompt volume alone.
Every insight ends in an action. Each Gravton surface answers five questions in order: how am I doing, what is missing, why is it missing, where do I stand against competitors, and what should I fix.
Measure what moved. Gravton records a baseline before each fix and reports the change after it, so a team can tie an action to a result.
Product truth over invented claims. Gravton keeps names, claims, pack sizes, prices, and availability consistent across channels. Every claim Gravton drafts carries a risk class: sourced, inferred, or restricted.
Tailored to each brand, owned by the brand. Gravton’s forward deployed engineers tailor the platform to each brand’s catalog, channels, and markets. The brand’s team runs Gravton day to day, with those engineers alongside.
The Problem Gravton Solves
Gravton treats AI visibility for commerce as a systems problem, not a prompt-tracking problem. Three facts drive the product.
Demand multiplies at catalog scale. Every SKU has its own shopper intents. Those intents multiply across regions, channels, and buying stages.
Product truth is fragmented. A brand’s site, marketplaces, retailers, reviews, earned media, and user-generated content all shape what AI says about a product. A brand owns 5–10% of those sources.
AI decides who gets the buy button. AI can recommend a brand’s product and still route the purchase to a marketplace, a retailer, or a competitor. Price, availability, and delivery decide where the sale goes.
Product Modules

Gravton MCP
Module details
Gravton Demand Intelligence answers: what are shoppers asking AI, which products win and why, which trends and competitors are emerging, and where is the brand missing demand. (gravton.ai/platform/demand-intelligence)
Gravton Shopping Intelligence answers: how much of the catalog AI recommends, whether top SKUs appear consistently, which attributes drive recommendations, and whether AI describes the brand favourably.
Gravton Merchant Insights answers: when AI shows the brand’s product, which merchants appear on its shopping card (the brand’s store, marketplaces, or retailers), how often each appears, and at what price.
Gravton Action Engine answers: what to fix first and why, and where to focus content, advertising, and UGC. (gravton.ai/platform/action-engine)
Gravton Catalog Enrichment reviews the catalog the way AI reads it. It detects gaps across the full catalog, generates fixes for a prioritised working set of SKUs, and updates taxonomy, structured data, and feed fields.
Gravton Follow-up Attributes replays the follow-up forms and suggested follow-ups that ChatGPT shows shoppers. It extracts the attributes those follow-ups ask about, such as budget, size, or skin type.
Gravton AI Readiness checks three layers in order: reachability (can AI bots access the page), extractability (can AI parse the content), and citeworthiness (does the content give AI a reason to cite it).
Gravton Ads Intelligence records each ad shown on a ChatGPT answer: the advertiser, ad copy, link, model, and date. The Ads Builder turns these findings into ad packages for ChatGPT Ads.
Gravton Measurement answers: what changed and by how much, how the brand performs across ChatGPT, Gemini, and Google AI Mode, and whether the brand’s own store gains Buy Button Share against marketplaces. (gravton.ai/platform/measurement)
Gravton MCP Server lets a team query its Gravton data and run Gravton agents from inside its AI assistant, without opening the dashboard.
Metrics Explained
Recommendation status. Gravton classifies every product appearance in an AI answer into one of four states:
State
Meaning
Recommended
AI recommends the product to the shopper.
Only Mentioned
AI names the product but does not recommend it.
Absent
AI leaves the product out of the answer.
Discouraged
AI names the product as a poor fit or advises against it.
Gravton reports Discouraged separately from Absent because the two need different fixes. An absent product needs coverage. A discouraged product needs its product truth or reputation corrected.
Buy Button Share. Buy Button Share measures how often a merchant appears on a product’s AI shopping card, as a share of all shopping cards shown for that product. Gravton reports Buy Button Share for the brand’s own store and for every marketplace and retailer, per product and over time.
Example: a product’s shopping card appears in 10 AI answers, and the brand’s own store appears on 6 of those cards. The brand’s store has a 60% Buy Button Share for that product.
Demand at risk. Gravton ranks every action by the shopper demand behind the prompts where the brand loses.
How Gravton Works
Gravton combines one common platform with forward deployed engineers who configure it to each brand.
Configure — The brand connects Shopify (or uploads a catalog feed), its site, markets, Google Search Console, competitors, and brand context.
Baseline — Gravton maps the demand universe and intent clusters, and establishes where the brand’s products win or lose.
Prioritise — Gravton identifies the highest-impact gaps across catalog, content, feeds, sources, and technical readiness.
Fix and measure — The brand pushes fixes through Gravton, tracks what moved, and repeats.

How Gravton Compares
GEO (Generative Engine Optimization), also called AEO (Answer Engine Optimization) or AI visibility, measures and improves how brands appear in AI-generated answers. Gravton applies GEO to commerce, where the unit that matters is the product and the merchant, not the brand mention.

Where Gravton overlaps and differs:
Gravton vs. Peec AI: Both track brands in AI answers. Gravton serves e-commerce only, works at SKU and merchant level, ranks prompts by Google Search Console demand, and enriches catalogs. Peec AI does not create content.
Gravton vs. Profound: Both track AI visibility. Gravton connects product-level results to search demand, buy-button routing, and catalog fixes.
Gravton vs. Scrunch: Scrunch changes what AI agents receive from a website. Gravton diagnoses which products lose AI recommendations and fixes them across catalog, feeds, and third-party sources.
Gravton vs. Lily AI: Both enrich product catalogs. Gravton starts from the AI answers a product loses and measures whether each fix changed the outcome.
Gravton vs. Alhena: Alhena converts shoppers who already reached a brand’s store. Gravton works earlier, on whether AI engines recommend the brand’s products at all.
What Gravton Is Not
Gravton is not a chatbot or on-site shopping assistant. It does not talk to shoppers on a brand’s website.
Gravton is not a traditional SEO rank tracker. It measures recommendations inside AI answers, not positions on search result pages.
Gravton is not a general brand-mention tracker. It serves e-commerce brands only.
Gravton is not a traditional agency. Gravton is a platform delivered with white-glove support. Gravton’s forward deployed engineers tailor the platform to each brand’s catalog, channels, and markets, and work alongside the brand’s team, which runs Gravton day to day.
