Instead, optimize your product pages and review sections for someone who just asked an AI for advice. They land on your site with a specific question in mind, and they need social proof immediately. Ensure your top 3 reviews are visible above the fold, add a 'frequently asked by AI shoppers' section on your product page, and run a retargeting campaign to ChatGPT referrers.
