As an extension of OpenAI&#8217;s ChatGPT, SearchGPT provides links and references in response to complex, conversational search queries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For example, shoppers are becoming accustomed to searching by their intentions or goals, such as \u201cI need an outfit for my company holiday party, which will be ugly sweater themed.\u201d These kinds of questions often happen early in the shopper journey, so appearing in these results can win early mind-share.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Early previews indicate that SearchGPT favours content-rich reviews and list articles, which could elevate the importance of these content types when it comes to your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.salesforce.com\/eu\/commerce\/ecommerce-strategy\/\">ecommerce SEO strategy<\/a>. Long-form content that provides in-depth analysis or comprehensive reviews is becoming increasingly valuable as these articles not only address specific user intents hidden within long-tail queries, but also offer numerous opportunities for internal and external linking, driving more traffic and engagement to your site.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-nicholas-advice\"><strong>Nicholas&#8217; advice<\/strong>:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s time to invest in high-quality, long-form <a href=\"https:\/\/www.salesforce.com\/eu\/commerce\/ecommerce-marketing-guide\/\">ecommerce content<\/a>. This strategy is no longer optional \u2014 it&#8217;s essential. And, of course, your content should be optimised \u2014 not just for keywords, but also for the semantic nuances that AI tools like SearchGPT are adept at understanding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>AI-driven search engines will favour content that thoroughly addresses user questions and concerns. This is the type of long-for content that will have a better chance of being surfaced, recommended, and viewed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-google-s-sge-and-the-imperative-to-optimise-product-pages\"><strong>Google\u2019s SGE and the imperative to optimise product pages<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-s-changing-0\"><strong>What\u2019s changing:<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Google\u2019s Search Generative Experience (SGE) is another innovation that\u2019s reshaping how shoppers browse and discover products online. In the past, if a user typed \u201cred sweater\u201d into Google\u2019s search bar, the result would have been a list of category and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.salesforce.com\/blog\/product-listing-page\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">product listing pages<\/a> optimised for \u201cred sweaters.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Today, that same search query will return a grid of red sweaters with filters for specific features like sleeve style, neckline, and more \u2014 directly in Google. This is a notable shift. It\u2019s a sign that browsing and checking prices will happen more on SERPs. It also means product pages will become more common as the next step after a shopper engages with a search engine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure data-wp-context=\"{&quot;imageId&quot;:&quot;69d4777aa0b9b&quot;}\" data-wp-interactive=\"core\/image\" data-wp-key=\"69d4777aa0b9b\" class=\"wp-block-image size-full wp-lightbox-container\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"947\" height=\"489\" data-wp-class--hide=\"state.isContentHidden\" data-wp-class--show=\"state.isContentVisible\" data-wp-init=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\" data-wp-on--load=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on-window--resize=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" src=\"https:\/\/www.salesforce.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/09\/Red-sweater-SERP.png?strip=all&#038;quality=95\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-11433\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.salesforce.com\/eu\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2024\/09\/Red-sweater-SERP.png 947w, https:\/\/www.salesforce.com\/eu\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2024\/09\/Red-sweater-SERP.png?w=300&amp;h=155 300w, https:\/\/www.salesforce.com\/eu\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2024\/09\/Red-sweater-SERP.png?w=768&amp;h=397 768w, https:\/\/www.salesforce.com\/eu\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2024\/09\/Red-sweater-SERP.png?w=150&amp;h=77 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 947px) 100vw, 947px\" \/><button\n\t\t\tclass=\"lightbox-trigger\"\n\t\t\ttype=\"button\"\n\t\t\taria-haspopup=\"dialog\"\n\t\t\taria-label=\"Enlarge\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-init=\"callbacks.initTriggerButton\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--right=\"state.imageButtonRight\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--top=\"state.imageButtonTop\"\n\t\t>\n\t\t\t<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"12\" height=\"12\" fill=\"none\" viewBox=\"0 0 12 12\">\n\t\t\t\t<path fill=\"#fff\" d=\"M2 0a2 2 0 0 0-2 2v2h1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 1 .5-.5h2V0H2Zm2 10.5H2a.5.5 0 0 1-.5-.5V8H0v2a2 2 0 0 0 2 2h2v-1.5ZM8 12v-1.5h2a.5.5 0 0 0 .5-.5V8H12v2a2 2 0 0 1-2 2H8Zm2-12a2 2 0 0 1 2 2v2h-1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 0-.5-.5H8V0h2Z\" \/>\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Why is this shift to conversational designs so important when it comes to search engine results pages (SERPs)? These image-heavy, user-friendly experiences will take up a lot of space that was once dedicated to simple links that led to the category or homepages of a brand\u2019s website. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now that shoppers will be able to browse items directly in Google, placements like recommended or related products will become even more important since they will likely be the best opportunity to show users additional offerings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-my-advice\"><strong>My advice:<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This SERP shift emphasises the importance of accurate schema markup on your product pages. Schema markup are tags you can add to the code of your ecommerce website to give search engines more information about the content, context, and significance of its pages. Ultimately, this is what will ensure that your product pages appear correctly in search results.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another important thing to manage now that search generative experiences are becoming the norm? Backlinks. The backlinks on your product pages should be carefully curated to reflect your most important shopper intents. To stay competitive, you\u2019ll need to optimise for traditional SEO as well as SGE.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-conversational-search-has-entered-the-chat\">Conversational search has entered the chat<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-s-changing-1\"><strong>What\u2019s changing:<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The keyword era is ending. For years, businesses tried to decipher the right keywords to assign to products so they could influence search engines. And for years, shoppers tried to guess the right words to type into search bars to yield relevant results. But <a href=\"https:\/\/www.salesforce.com\/eu\/commerce\/conversational-commerce\/\">conversational<\/a> search is changing all that. Shoppers are becoming more accustomed to typing natural language questions into search bars and expecting robust, relevant results.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-my-advice-0\"><strong>My advice:\u00a0<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This shift doesn\u2019t necessarily require merchants to adopt a full conversational interface. But merchants <em>should<\/em> consider site search options that include semantic search capabilities that can capture the intent behind these long form queries \u2014 without needing to overhaul their search UI as new patterns continue to emerge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For example, without semantic search, a shopper looking for healthy snacks for kids would need to search for different types of foods individually, such as fruit, nuts, and more. But semantic search understands the underlying meaning of a phrase, so a shopper can simply search for \u201chealthy snacks for kids\u201d and expect to get relevant results.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This approach allows brands to address the needs at the heart of conversational queries, which enhances the user experience and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.salesforce.com\/blog\/conversion-rate-optimization\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">increases conversion rates<\/a>. As new search patterns continue to emerge, it\u2019s critical for businesses to stay agile and responsive to keep a competitive edge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-navigate-the-future-with-commerce-cloud\"><strong>Navigate the future with Commerce Cloud<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>As generative AI continues to evolve, merchants will be wise to adapt to these new realities in search and SEO.
