- Retailers are updating their websites to rank highly in ChatGPT and Google's Gemini product recommendation results as shoppers increasingly turn to the chatbots for discovery.
- Retailers are ensuring purchases are completed on their own websites so they can collect customer data rather than ceding transactions to chatbot interfaces.
Why it matters: Retailers face two competing goals stated in the story: earning visibility inside AI chatbot results while keeping customer transactions on their own domains to retain first-party data. The companies that rank in chatbot results without losing checkout ownership will control the next generation of retail customer relationships.
