For eCommerce

When AI recommends a product,
make sure it's yours.

Shoppers now ask ChatGPT and Perplexity what to buy before they ever reach Google. BPG shows you whether AI recommends your products — and gets you into the answers where it doesn't.

The Shift

Product discovery is moving into the answer box.

Your highest-intent shoppers are starting in AI, not on your product page. Here's what that changes.

The new shelf

AI is the first recommendation

Before a shopper compares prices or reads reviews, they ask an AI engine what to buy. If your product isn't in that answer, you're not even on the shortlist.

The blind spot

You can't see if you're recommended

Your analytics show Google traffic — not whether ChatGPT suggested a competitor to a ready-to-buy shopper this morning.

The compounding risk

Competitors bank the citations

Every week you're absent, the sources AI trusts about your category get more entrenched around the brands that showed up first.

How BPG Helps

Track the answers, then win the sources behind them.

The same track-and-act loop that puts your brand into the buying conversation — measurable from day one.

Step 01

See if AI recommends you.

Set up the buying questions your customers actually ask — 'best cargo liner for a 4Runner,' 'best protein powder for beginners' — and watch which products and sources each engine cites.

Step 02

Get into the threads AI trusts.

When a Reddit thread or review is driving your category's recommendations, submit genuine, human-reviewed content that puts your product naturally into the conversation.

Step 03

Watch your recommendations grow.

Track how often you appear as your submissions take effect, and connect specific actions to movement in the answers that drive sales.

The Cold Pod

An ice bath manufacturer struggled to reach serious cold therapy practitioners and athletes who were actively researching cold plunge solutions.
