How to pick
- Ecommerce only, or ecommerce as one of many? Each product has its own rivals and buying questions. An agency that only does stores knows that.
- Products, or just your brand? The sale is lost one product at a time, so the work should be done one product at a time.
- All the AIs, every week? ChatGPT, Gemini and Perplexity pick differently, and their answers change.
- No guarantees. Nobody controls AI. Walk away from anyone promising #1.

FAQ
Can you pay ChatGPT to recommend your product?
Not in its normal answers. Ads are a separate, labelled slot. To be the recommended product, ChatGPT has to find clear, trusted information about it, on your site and on the sites it reads.
How does ChatGPT choose which product to recommend?
It searches the web, reads your product pages and the review and buying-guide sites in your category, then picks the products that best fit the shopper's question. If it can't find a clear answer about your product, it picks a rival.
Can an agency guarantee ChatGPT will recommend me?
No. Nobody controls ChatGPT. A good agency shows you where you stand, does the work, and reports the change every week.
