You built your e-commerce website. Now comes the part most people do not understand: getting people to actually visit it.
A website does not create sales by itself. If visitors do not go to your website, you will not get sales. That is why marketing exists.
This post gives you an AI marketing prompt for e-commerce you can copy, paste, and use in any AI tool to get a step-by-step plan that teaches you everything from organic reach (TikTok, Reels, Stories, posts) to paid ads, email marketing, and Google indexing.
If you are new and you have no idea where to start, this is built for you.
When you use this AI marketing prompt for e-commerce, the AI will act like your personal marketing coach and guide you through:
A complete beginner-friendly explanation of how marketing works for an online store
A 90-day action plan to grow traffic and sales
A clear organic strategy first, then paid ads second
A simple posting plan so you know what to post and how often
A breakdown of what Stories do, what static posts do, and what Reels or TikToks do
A basic SEO plan explaining Google indexing and how people find you on Google
Email marketing setup and automations to build repeat customers
A weekly scoreboard so you track results and improve consistently
Daily and weekly checklists so you always know what to do next
You are not guessing. You are not randomly posting. You are following a structured system.
This AI marketing prompt for e-commerce is for you if:
You just launched a Shopify, WooCommerce, or any online store
You have products but you are not getting traffic
You do not understand social media marketing yet
You do not understand paid ads yet
You want a step-by-step plan that tells you what to do daily
You want to work toward 1,000 website visitors per day over time
To market properly, you need tracking. Otherwise, you do not know what is working.
The AI will guide you, but as a quick heads-up, these are the basics you will likely need:
Google Analytics 4 to track website visitors and sales activity
Google Search Console to help Google index your website and show search data
Meta Pixel for Facebook and Instagram ads later
TikTok Pixel if you plan to run TikTok ads later
An email tool like Mailchimp or Klaviyo to collect emails and send automations
Do not stress if you do not know what any of this means. The prompt below forces the AI to explain it in simple language.
Step 1
Copy the full prompt below
Step 2
Paste it into your AI tool (ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, etc.)
Step 3
Fill in the sections in [BRACKETS] with your business details
If you do not know something, write I do not know
Step 4
Answer the AI’s questions as best as you can
If you are unsure, ask the AI to give you options and recommend the best one
Step 5
Follow the 90-day plan the AI creates
Do not skip the organic phase. Build generic reach first.
Step 6
Track your progress weekly using the scoreboard the AI provides
Consistency beats intensity.
Most beginners want to jump straight to ads. That is usually how money gets wasted.
Organic generic reach teaches you what content works, what customers respond to, and what offers convert. Then, when you move into paid ads, you already know what is likely to perform well.
This AI marketing prompt for e-commerce is designed to follow that exact path:
Organic first, paid ads second.
Paste this into your AI tool exactly as is:

Once you paste the AI marketing prompt for e-commerce into your AI tool, you should receive:
A list of questions the AI needs to build your plan
A setup checklist for tracking and measurement
A 30-day organic content plan with daily actions
A clear explanation of what to post and why it works
A transition plan into paid ads once your foundation is in place
If the AI response feels too long, tell it: simplify this into a one-page plan and give me only today’s tasks.
Organic content is how you learn what your audience wants
Reels and TikTok are for reach to new people
Stories are for trust and daily engagement
Static posts and carousels are for education, saves, and credibility
Email builds repeat sales without relying on algorithms
Google traffic grows slower, but it is long-term and consistent
Paid ads scale what is already working
Most people fail because they post randomly, do not track results, and quit too early.
This AI marketing prompt for e-commerce fixes that by giving you a clear system to follow.
It depends on your niche, your content consistency, your offers, your budget, and your conversion rate. The goal is to build milestones: 100 per day, then 250, then 500, then 1,000.
Not on day one. Build organic reach first, then use paid ads to scale winning content and offers.
The AI can give you content formats that do not require your face, including product demos, packing orders, text overlays, voiceovers, and UGC-style clips.
