Why Now

AI is replacing Google for product discovery.

Buyers ask AI for product recommendations instead of searching Google. ChatGPT already shows product tiles with prices and reviews. Soon, buyers won't leave the chat to buy.

Buyers ask AI, not Google

1 in 4 Americans already prefer ChatGPT over Google for product recommendations.

Omnisend · 2025

AI sells products directly

ChatGPT now has Instant Checkout. Buyers browse, compare, and buy — without ever leaving the chat.

OpenAI · 2025

If AI doesn't mention you, you lose

Brands not cited by AI models lose the sale before the buyer ever sees their site.

Ads are coming to AI

OpenAI is building an ad platform. Organic visibility now = owning position before pay-to-play begins.
