If you want AI tools like ChatGPT to show your products, it’s important to make your website easy for them to understand. These tools use their own bots (like OpenAI’s oaibot) to scan websites - they don’t rely on Google Shopping feeds or anything like that. That means your site’s content really matters.
Make sure your product pages clearly explain what you're selling. Try to include:
- Features
- Specifications
- Benefits
- Frequently asked questions (FAQs)
- Common use cases
The more detailed and helpful your pages are, the better your chances of appearing in AI results.
Use schema markup to tag key information like price, brand, availability, and reviews. This helps AI tools and search engines understand your content more accurately.
Real customer reviews are especially important. Add them to your product pages - and include them in your schema markup as well. This can help you:
- Get picked up by AI tools
- Show up in Google’s free product listings
- Build trust with potential buyers
AI tools also gather information from across the web - like YouTube, forums, LinkedIn, and social media. So it's smart to be active on multiple platforms. The more trusted and visible your brand is online, the more likely it is that AI will recommend you.
