Platform map: ChatGPT, Copilot, Google AI
Day 5 of 30 · GEO Shopify – 30-day course
Review the main AI shopping surfaces, differences, and constraints.
Learning goal
- Name the 3 platforms and their constraints.
- Create a 1-page “where can I show up?” summary.
Why it matters
- Merchant programs and regions differ.
- Content expectations differ (structured data, policy, identifiers).
Explanation
ChatGPT
- Shopping answers, merchant program; keys: accurate data, quotability.
Copilot
- Merchant Program, regional rules; keys: feed quality, policy clarity.
Google AI
- AI overview + classic SEO/merchant feed; keys: product data, schema, policy.
Examples
- Good: uniform price/stock/policy everywhere, stable feed, clean schema.
- Poor: conflicting prices, missing policy, unstructured feed.
Guided exercise (10–15 min)
- Create a 1-pager: ChatGPT/Copilot/Google AI — requirement, region/program, actions (data/policy/URL).
- Mark for your store: which platform you’re closest to, what’s missing.
Independent exercise (5–10 min)
For one platform, write 3 tasks (e.g., GTIN check, policy block refresh, add answer capsule).
Self-check
- Requirements known for all 3.
- 1-pager completed.
- 3 tasks noted for one platform.
