You’ve probably noticed it’s getting tougher to find new customers.
Google Ads? Saturated. Meta? All over the place. Traditional SEO? Pretty much plateaued.
Meanwhile, something big is happening that most of us aren’t talking about: ChatGPT is turning into a serious product discovery engine.
But most brands have absolutely no clue when it comes to ChatGPT SEO.
Is Your Brand Ready to Rank in ChatGPT?
Take our quick assessment to discover if your eCommerce site is optimized for AI-driven product discovery. Get actionable insights to improve your visibility in ChatGPT’s shopping recommendations.
Traditional SEO is about getting clicks. This is about getting actual recommendations.
When ChatGPT tells someone your product is the solution to their problem, you’re not just getting a website visitor, you’re getting someone who’s already been pre-sold on your product by an AI they trust.
And AI is changing how people find products. Instead of links, they get recommendations. Instead of having to compare options themselves, the AI does the reasoning for them.
The brands that focus on being recommended – not just ranking in product roundups – will be the ones that show up when people ask for “the best” “top-rated” or “most reliable.”
And they won’t pay a dime for those recommendations.
The New Battleground Product Discovery in LLMs
People aren’t just Googling anymore. They’re prompting. For example:
- “Best gifts for runners”
- “Affordable skincare for dry skin”
- “Comfortable office chairs under $200”
Think about what this means for a second. In traditional search, being on page 2 of Google meant fewer clicks. But in the context of ChatGPT world, not being recommended means ZERO visibility. There’s no “scroll down to see more options” – there’s only “here’s what you should buy.”
It’s winner-take-all in a way that traditional search never was. When ChatGPT recommends a product, it’s not giving you ten options – it’s giving you THE option.
How ChatGPT Decides What to Recommend
ChatGPT isn’t actively browsing the web when someone asks a question. It’s pulling from its training data and increasingly from specific sources it trusts.
Getting your products recommended means showing up in places ChatGPT considers legit:
- Industry publications that review and recommend products
- Clear product data that spells out features and benefits
- Expert mentions that validate your stuff works
- Comparison content that shows how you stack up
Our AI Readiness Scorecard checks all these boxes and tells you exactly where you’re crushing it and where you’re falling short.
