For this installment, we&#8217;ve turned to Louis Camassa, the director of product at Rithum, a marketplace orchestration platform. He&#8217;s also a serial entrepreneur and an occasional contributor to Practical Ecommerce.<\/p>\n<p>He addresses the essentials of generative engine optimization\u00a0for ecommerce.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Practical Ecommerce:<\/strong> How can merchants optimize product visibility across ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, and other generative AI platforms?<\/p>\n<p><strong>Louis Camassa: <\/strong>There&#8217;s\u00a0no universal guide at present for product integration, but retailers can take proactive steps to prepare.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_1556627\" style=\"width: 140px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1556627\" class=\"size-full wp-image-1556627\" src=\"https:\/\/www.practicalecommerce.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Louis-Camassa_130px_0925.jpg\" alt=\"Louis Camassa\" width=\"130\" height=\"220\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-1556627\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Louis Camassa<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Begin by evaluating current <a href=\"https:\/\/www.practicalecommerce.com\/is-geo-the-same-as-seo\">genAI visibility<\/a>. Merchants should search for their <a href=\"https:\/\/www.practicalecommerce.com\/control-ai-answers-about-your-brand\">brand names<\/a> to understand how the platforms present them. Experiment with shopper-like queries to observe how the systems rank and mention offerings in comparison to competitors. Consider searches such as &#8220;Find me running shoes with maximum cushioning for marathon training&#8221; or &#8220;What are the top-rated coffee makers that brew a single cup in under 2 minutes?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Next, thoroughly review product info. Again, standardized genAI product formats do not yet exist, yet companies with existing product feeds have a solid foundation. Ensure your feed contains key details such as dimensions, color options, materials, weight specifications, and intended applications.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.practicalecommerce.com\/how-to-track-chatgpt-traffic-in-ga4\">ChatGPT<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.practicalecommerce.com\/next-steps-for-ai-shopping\">Perplexity<\/a>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.practicalecommerce.com\/chatgpt-vs-gemini-for-seo-tasks\">Gemini<\/a> have not yet opened the gates to share product data directly, but small-to-midsize merchants can get ahead by preparing now.<\/p>\n<p>Generative AI platforms thrive on structured, accurate, real-time data.<\/p>\n<p>Here are optimization tips:<\/p>\n<p>1. Keep product data clean and consistent<br \/>\n\u2022 Unique IDs that never change<br \/>\n\u2022 Plain text titles and descriptions<\/p>\n<p>2. Write for people, not just machines<br \/>\n\u2022 Short, specific titles (brand + product + key attribute)<br \/>\n\u2022 Natural language benefits in descriptions<\/p>\n<p>3. Use structured attributes<br \/>\n\u2022 Brand, price, size, color, and material<br \/>\n\u2022 Group product variants with a shared ID (e.g., parent-child relationship)<\/p>\n<p>4. Optimize images<br \/>\n\u2022 Use a content delivery network<br \/>\n\u2022 Extra angles or lifestyle shots help<\/p>\n<p>5. Update feeds often<br \/>\n\u2022 Refresh at least daily<\/p>\n<p>6. Use custom fields<br \/>\n\u2022 Add category-specific details (battery life, fabric, eco-friendly)<\/p>\n<p>7. Localize content<br \/>\n\u2022 Language and country codes<br \/>\n\u2022 Simple, clear native text<\/p>\n<p>8. Be transparent on price<br \/>\n\u2022 Always list price in ISO format (e.g., 29.99 USD)<br \/>\n\u2022 Include sale price if available<\/p>\n<p>9. Don&#8217;t skip the details<br \/>\n\u2022 Shipping, handling, promotions, and other data build trust and improve ranking<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>There&#8217;s\u00a0no universal guide for product integration on genAI platforms, but merchants can take proactive steps to prepare.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":376,"featured_media":1556637,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":"","_wp_rev_ctl_limit":""},"categories":[13095],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1556616","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-seo",""],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v25.2 (Yoast SEO v25.2) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Ask an Expert: How to Start with GEO?
