Here's Why Shopping Agents Might Have a Difficult Time Pulling Brands' Products for Consumers
Agentic AI and AI-based shopping assistants continue to capture brands, retailers and consumers' attention. But many brands and retailers may not be prepared for such a shift. While AI-based shopping assistants, like ChatGPT's new shopping function, are set up to crawl brands and retailers' sites, AJ Ghergich, vice president of consulting services at Botify, said the format of standard e-commerce sites aren't easy for agents and AI systems to ingest information from. More from Sourcing Journal Amazon Reportedly Tests Humanoid Robots for Parcel Delivery Levi's Marks Three-Year Streak of Strong E-Commerce Growth Macy's, Dick's Sporting Good Partner Grabs $44M Series B For Worker Safety Tech That's because many sites—including those built on Shopify—display product information to consumers via JavaScript, a programming language used frequently in e-commerce to load dynamic product description pages (PDPs). But AI agents and backend systems struggle to pull real-time information from websites running exclusively JavaScript. While JavaScript can help enhance the e-commerce experience for consumers searching directly on a brand or retailer's site, it might pose a new problem for brands and retailers as some consumers begin their shopping journeys using public AI systems, like ChatGPT. Many agents can't 'see' JavaScript in the way that humans can. Ghergich said to help brands understand that, Botify has been showing clients how little AI can actually see. 'One of the first things we're doing [with clients] is saying, 'OK, let's look at your site with JavaScript turned off. That's what the AI is seeing,'' he said. AI systems can crawl some generic information from JavaScript, but because the data is most often unstructured, it's difficult for them to contextualize anything about the product—the price, whether it's in stock and other important considerations. Without that information, the system is less likely to present a brand or retailer's product to a consumer, because it's unable to determine whether it fits the consumer's query parameters. Ghergich said the technology powering the shopping assistants isn't yet strong enough to parse through unstructured data with ease. 'These bots are akin to the early days of search bots, and they can't parse this dynamic nature of modern sites yet. They probably will be able to in the near future, but today, they're blind to it,' he said. To ensure products are included in results generated by chatbots, Ghergich and Botify suggest that brands use structured data by enabling a JSON or XML format. Typically, these formats give bots crawling the web a better chance at understanding the data, particularly when paired with a schema, which helps define subsections of the data. In using a schema, a brand or retailer can tell a bot crawling that when it uses 'price' as a label, that's indicative of how much the item costs, for example. So, a schema is how the data is labeled, and JSON or XML are how the data is stored. Ghergich said combining these approaches won't be too tedious for retailers and brands. 'The cool thing about structured data is, once you set it up, it's literally a schema. It can go across all of your products at once, so it's one of the ultimate quick wins in technical SEO,' he said. 'You set up the schema, and now you've done 50,000 of an [action]. It goes across all of your products at once, and it's not something that you have to go page by page and manually do; it's dynamic.' Ghergich said the next step will be better adding product details that address consumer intent—rather than simply attributes. That's because product search queries—particularly via large language models (LLMs)—continue to become longer, providing more details about why a consumer wants a specific item, rather than keywords about what they want. For example, if a retailer had previously described an item as 'midi floral dress,' they may add data into the backend that signals how a consumer might want to wear that dress—to a summer wedding, or on vacation. Updating product description pages with better intent may seem like a daunting task for fashion and apparel purveyors with ever-changing seasonal assortments, but Ghergich noted that it doesn't have to be done all at once—just that the transition needs to start sooner, rather than later. 'Start with your best sellers. Make sure they have those FAQ modules. Make sure that you're thinking about the customer intent in a conversational tone,' he said. 'Today's shopping journey increasingly begins with AI, not you. So if you're invisible to an AI assistant, it means you're invisible to the customer, full stop.'

Why Knowing Your Customer Drives Smarter Growth (and Higher Profits)
What if the secret to skyrocketing your sales and customer loyalty is already in your data? Opinions expressed by Entrepreneur contributors are their own. It's one thing to have an idea of who your customers are. But it's quite another to actually know them. The more companies learn about their target audience — whether through purchase data, reviews, focus groups or other methods — the better they'll be positioned to unlock growth. Thanks to AI adoption in marketing and the availability of more industry and consumer-level data than ever before, companies have never been in a better position to know their customers in a way that drives smarter growth and higher profits. Related: How Understanding Your Customers Can Help You Create Copy That Sells Provide more personalized customer experiences The main purpose of knowing your customer is to better understand their needs and why they would make use of your products or services. One of the most obvious examples of this comes from Amazon's personalized product recommendations, which suggest goods related to an item that a customer is considering. These suggestions are drawn directly from the company's own data based on what other customers have purchased, as well as the individual's history. Amazon's data-driven model has become a powerful element in driving growth and additional sales among its existing customers. As far back as 2013, "also bought" recommendations accounted for 35% of Amazon's sales. The success of this model has played a major role in positioning Amazon as the go-to online retailer for so many customers, causing other retailers to attempt to replicate this design. Understanding your customers can also be applicable in less retail-oriented settings. For example, a report from BuzzRx found that women aged 30-39 filled the most mental health and ADHD prescriptions in the United States out of any demographic. For healthcare providers, understanding the higher prevalence of these conditions in this age group (as well as which prescriptions are most commonly filled) can lead to higher-quality care. While not necessarily profit-related, this personalized support can help healthcare providers retain patients and provide better care. Tailor your messaging appropriately Knowing your customer also enables smarter marketing that is likely to result in higher sales. By understanding customer needs and preferences, marketers can ensure that their campaigns will reach the right people, on the right platforms, with the right type of messaging. If any one of those three factors is off, your marketing budget could go to waste. Furthermore, by gaining a deep understanding of your target audience, you can adjust your messaging and tactics as needed as circumstances change. For example, during the height of the pandemic, Lowe's released a commercial highlighting various ways that suburban parents could turn their backyard into a fun place to spend quality time, even as pandemic-related closures limited traditional summer plans like going to the movies or visiting the beach. By understanding how customers might be feeling when they were spending more time at home, Lowe's and its rival Home Depot saw significant sales growth during the early days of the pandemic. Targeted marketing that understands audience pain points can result in a massive lift on your advertising return on investment. In fact, 74% of customers report being more likely to stick with brands that they feel understand them and provide relevant communications. This only happens when you learn more about your customers. Guide your product development Finally, businesses that understand customer preferences can use that information to improve their products and services. Savvy businesses take customer feedback very seriously, whether in the form of complaints or even recommendations for a product, service or new features that could meet additional needs. This can also be true when a product or service doesn't resonate with your customer base. In an interview with CNN, former Nintendo of America President, Reggie Fils-Aimé, was quick to note that the failure of the company's Wii U console was a direct contributor to the success of its follow-up — the Nintendo Switch. Aside from making improvements to the design of the system itself, Fils-Aimé also referenced how the company learned the importance of providing a "crystal clear" value proposition to differentiate the console, as well as a steady flow of games. The lessons learned from what previously did not resonate with customers have led to the Nintendo Switch selling over 150 million units to date. Whether you are refining an existing product or developing new offerings that will better meet market demands, knowing your customer can drive more innovative and customer-oriented product development. This will, in turn, make your products more desirable to your target audience, creating higher sales potential. Related: Customers Are Changing – Is Your Business Ready? Knowing your customers is a competitive advantage Truly knowing your customers can provide a powerful competitive advantage in any industry. By using your knowledge of your customers to offer more personalized, higher-quality experiences, adjust your marketing and even guide product development, you can build an ecosystem that increases customer satisfaction and loyalty. Remember, acquiring a new customer can be five to 25 times more expensive than keeping your existing customers. With greater knowledge of your customers, you'll be able to keep your current base and drive more purchases, while also being able to acquire new customers in a more cost-effective way.
