"Today, instead of typing "best running shoes," consumers simply ask their favorite AI, "What running shoes should I buy?" These models respond quickly, often drawing on vast stores of user-generated content, reviews, and discussion threads-a dynamic "source stack" that looks very different from traditional SEO rankings. What's more, they can answer highly specific, long-tail questions, from "Which running shoes are best for flat feet in rainy climates?" to "What sneakers do marathoners recommend in 2024?""
"But this shift introduces new questions: When a chatbot answers a shopper's question, does it mention your brand-or your competitor? How do LLMs even know who you are? What's missing from your product content or reviews that could make your brand "invisible" to these new recommendation engines? Traditional SEO can't answer those questions. And without insight into these AI-driven conversations, brands risk becoming invisible where it matters most."
Conversational AI platforms now deliver product recommendations by synthesizing user-generated content, reviews, and discussion threads into a dynamic source stack rather than relying on traditional search rankings. Shoppers pose detailed, long-tail queries and receive context-specific answers that surface different information than classic SEO. The shift creates questions about whether chatbots name particular brands, how large language models identify brands, and what gaps in product content or reviews cause brand omission. Traditional SEO techniques do not resolve these gaps, so specialized ecommerce expertise and proprietary data become critical to preserve visibility and drive marketplace growth.
