(This is the part that gets the opens.)\n[ your take… ]\n———\nHere is a real one you can run this week 👇\nResearch showed 16% of shoppers begin product discovery on ChatGPT, but only 9% complete a purchase there, per Digiday. Reviews remain the conversion lever.\nHere's the cool part — the lever almost everyone misses (and you don't have to): if you are losing shoppers who find you on ChatGPT or Google's AI overviews, the problem is not discovery—it is trust. Invest in review generation (post-purchase email, SMS with review links) and photo clarity over paid search optimization. Ensure every SKU has at least 5 reviews on your DTC and marketplace listings. When a shopper lands on your product page after an AI recommendation, they need proof—not more copy. Run a post-purchase review campaign before running paid ads. The conversion happens in the reviews, not in the initial AI ranking.\nWhat that means for you: if you are losing shoppers who find you on ChatGPT or Google's AI overviews, the problem is not discovery—it is trust.
