How AI Is Changing Retail Discovery

What Retail Brands Need to Do About It

Day, Month 00 | 0:00 PM ET | 30 Minutes | FREE

Your next customer may never Google your store.

Instead, they’re asking ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, and Perplexity where to find a last-minute gift, which nearby store carries a specific product, or where to shop for something that fits their style and budget.

AI doesn’t return pages of results. It gives answers.

If your retail store isn’t one of them, that customer may never know you exist.

What You’ll Learn

In 30 minutes, we’ll cover:

  • How retail discovery is changing as consumers move from traditional search to AI-powered recommendations
  • Why rankings and website traffic no longer tell the whole story – and how stores can lose potential customers without seeing it in their analytics
  • How AI decides which retail stores to mention, cite, and ultimately recommend
  • The signals that influence AI visibility, including website structure and content, reviews and listings, third-party authority, and consistent business information
  • How to assess your brand’s AI visibility today, including practical steps you can take immediately

Search has changed. Has your retail store changed with it?

AI is rapidly becoming a new front door for retail discovery, fundamentally changing how consumers find, compare, and choose where to shop. And unlike traditional search, there’s no second page of results to fall back on.

The good news? What determines whether AI finds and recommends your store isn’t magic. It comes down to signals you can influence – from your website to reviews, listings, media coverage, and the broader digital footprint that tells AI what your store is known for and why it’s worth recommending.

Join marlo marketing’s Michael J. Goldrich, author of Invisible, for a fast-paced, 30-minute introduction to Generative Engine Optimization (GEO) built specifically for retail operators and marketers.

From Being Found to Being Recommended

Showing up is only the beginning.

A retail store can be mentioned by AI without actually being recommended. The brands that win are the ones AI can understand, verify, and confidently match to what a customer is asking for.

This session will help you understand where your store may be falling out of that process – and what you can start doing about it.
