We ask ChatGPT, Gemini and Google AI Mode what they recommend to shoppers, and post who gets named. Every answer with the date and the assistant.

Google is quietly swapping brand Knowledge Panels for AI Overviews in the right column on desktop. Go search your own brand and read what the AI says about you, because that's your brand SERP now. Then fix the gaps with your own content.

Microsoft Clarity looked at 5.2M AI-agent sessions (OpenAI, Google and Anthropic agents, Aug 13–Sep 9): 25.21% recorded a checkout step, vs 14.65% of human sessions. Agent sessions grew 88% in three weeks.

If an agent can't read your price, stock or shipping, it moves on.

@cyrilchandelier @FirstIndexHQ Big jump. Did the named picks move too, or only the links? For local stores AI Mode leans on very few names: Boston pet food (Oct 30), Polkadog Bakery came up in 26 of 30 answers across ChatGPT, Perplexity and AI Mode; only 14 of 48 stores made 2 or more.

[7BE @7be_io]

@JulienReutin In practice the set is tiny. Denver coffee (Oct 29), 10 shopper questions in ChatGPT, Perplexity and AI Mode: Huckleberry Roasters came up in 26 of 30 answers, Corvus in 25, and only 12 of 67 local roasters made 2 or more. Which signals do you see separating them?

[7BE @7be_io]

@EntrepreneurDB Correction: 14 of 71 local candle shops, not 75. 75 was the raw list before businesses outside the trade were taken out.

[7BE @7be_io]

@EntrepreneurDB Once the AI answer shows, the shelf gets short too. Chicago candles (Oct 29): 10 shopper questions in ChatGPT, Perplexity and AI Mode. Edgewater Candles came up in 22 of 30 answers; only 14 of 75 local candle shops made 2 or more. Seeing the same squeeze on "best X for Y"?

@MarcoKelly_23 The catch for smaller shops: checkout only helps if the assistant names you first. Columbus jewelry (Oct 30), 10 shopper questions in ChatGPT, Perplexity and AI Mode: Argo & Lehne came up in 20 of 30 answers; 27 of 69 local jewelers made 2 or more. Did it show any small brands?

[7BE @7be_io]

@ntdillon That gap shows up in today's AI answers too: they lean on a few loud signals. Raleigh running shoes (Oct 30): Fleet Feet was named in 10 of 10 answers in each of ChatGPT, Perplexity and AI Mode. Would agent-collected reviews widen that list or just reinforce the leader?

Every coffee roaster in Las Vegas, AI-named first, no paid places: https://t.co/0lUDh7eBP0

"coffee subscription from a roaster in Las Vegas" (Oct 30)
ChatGPT → Dark Moon Coffee Roasters, Vesta Coffee Roasters +1
Perplexity → Vesta Coffee Roasters, Dark Moon Coffee Roasters +1
AI Mode → Vesta Coffee Roasters, Dark Moon Coffee Roasters +1

[7BE @7be_io]

@AlDev0 @CyrusShepard Yes, and the default pick tends to be the same in every assistant. Raleigh (Oct 30): Fleet Feet was named in 10 of 10 answers in each of ChatGPT, Perplexity and AI Mode. Have you seen a store take that spot from a leader, or does it stick?

[7BE @7be_io]

@alexgroberman Local answers bend that. Denver running stores, 10 shopper questions x 3 assistants (Oct 29): Runners Roost was named in 30 of 30 answers, Foot Locker in 5, REI and DICK'S in 2 each. The biggest domains didn't win the city question.

[7BE @7be_io]

@gadimovtelman Which makes the unpaid name the one that matters. Raleigh running stores, 10 shopper questions (Oct 30): ChatGPT named Fleet Feet in all 10. The next store came up in 5 of 30 answers across ChatGPT, Perplexity and AI Mode.

[7BE @7be_io]

@juokaz Same call had the other side: Shopify said orders from AI are up 3.3x year over year, and 74% of AI-attributed purchases came from outside its top 100 categories. Curious whether ads keep that long tail visible or push it down.

[7BE @7be_io]

What it means for stores: up to four ads beside an answer that usually names only a few shops. In our Oct 30 Boston run, 8 of 63 running stores came up in 2 or more of 30 answers. https://t.co/TfgueE931s

Google AI Mode can now show up to four ads per response - via @SachuPatel53124

https://t.co/Cp0PtldsxU

[7BE @7be_io]

@glenngabe Four ads next to a short organic list. Boston running stores, 10 shopper questions in AI Mode (Oct 30): Marathon Sports named in all 10, Heartbreak Hill in 7, Tracksmith in 5. Paid slots will sit right next to the stores the answer already favors.

[7BE @7be_io]

@justinjacobsseo The leader tends to hold while the rest shuffle. Dallas running stores, 10 phrasings x 3 assistants (Oct 29): Fleet Feet in 30 of 30 answers, Luke's Locker in 21, Foot Locker in 9. One run can show a different #2 or #3.

[7BE @7be_io]

@MarkoKrist Worth asking it the way a shopper would, without the business name. Minneapolis pet food, 10 shopper questions (Oct 30): Urban Tails was named in 30 of 30 answers across ChatGPT, Perplexity and AI Mode. Only 10 of 47 pet stores came up in 2 or more.
