  • You're no longer just competing for clicks

    You're no longer just competing for clicks
    2026/07/23
    Episode Title: You're no longer just competing for clicks Date: 23rd July 2026 Summary: In episode 200, Kevin King breaks down how Gen Z is really shopping now — they don't just say "ChatGPT," they say "Chat," and AI has become the thing that decides what they buy. The big shift: you're no longer just competing for clicks, you're competing for AI recommendations. Plus Amazon's AI Overviews hitting the desktop, the fight over AI avatars flooding TikTok Shop, and vendors finally getting search query data. Key Points Discussed: Rory Wingo (college sophomore and daughter of ChannelAdvisor/Retailgentic founder Scot Wingo) wrote a guest post describing how her generation actually shops: TikTok still owns discovery, but AI now owns everything that happens after. Chat remembers every past conversation — her style, her budget — so the buying "conversation" moved from friends to AI.The funnel has compressed from TikTok → Google → Reddit → Sephora → Amazon → buy, down to TikTok → one AI conversation → purchase. Discovery and validation have split apart, and there's no ad unit you can buy into that second moment.The takeaway line the episode is named after: you're no longer just competing for clicks, you're competing for AI recommendations. Your product data, reviews, comparisons and content need to give the AI enough information and trust to recommend you. This is agentic commerce from the shopper's side.App stats: In a ranking of the top 25 apps by daily use and retention, WhatsApp leads on both at once, and Google/Meta own most billion-user positions. The standout for sellers — Shopify beats Amazon on retention.Amazon's AI Overviews hit the desktop: Andrew Bell spotted Alexa for Shopping's A/B test showing AI Overviews in a desktop sidebar. Inside the module: personalized category insights synthesized from on- and off-Amazon sources, visual navigation that rewrites the next search for you, prompt pills trained on clicks, and external cited sources (SoundGuys, PCMag, What Hi-Fi) — "authority anchoring," where off-Amazon PR becomes on-Amazon SEO. Bell's grounding notes: COSMO is a knowledge graph, not an algorithm, and it did not replace A9; Amazon SEO is alive and well. Walmart is copying all of it.AI avatars are flooding TikTok Shop: The WSJ's Patrick Coffee reports AI-generated demos, makeup applications and dress twirls spreading across TikTok Shop. TikTok's own AI Video Maker lets affiliates auto-generate shoppable videos, and fully AI-generated content can earn commissions if tagged. SharkNinja banned AI content for its affiliates; Rare Beauty was AI-twinned without consent. TikTok Shop US sales are projected past $23B this year (up 48%), with affiliates exploding from 2.3M (2024) to 11.3M globally. Brands can move from open to targeted affiliate plans, tighten creator approval, and disable auto-conversion of top posts to ads — but can't fully stop AI posts.Software tool of the day: Jordi Ordóñez's independent Amazon seller software directory (reviewing tools since 2013), now 170+ tools across 18+ categories, filterable and scored, free and not funded by Amazon.Vendors are finally getting search query data: Amazon finished rolling out Search Query Performance and Search Catalog Performance dashboards to Vendor Central — real search volume, rank, and full-funnel visibility by term and ASIN (market-share view still hidden from vendors). Find it under Brands → Brand Analytics → Search Analytics.

Even with almost 51% of AI shoppers abandoning a purchase after AI raised a concern, 51% of all AI-researched purchases still close on Amazon.

    2026/07/20
    Date: 20th of July 2026 Summary: Kevin King breaks down TikTok Shop's new US managed-services pilot and what it means for agencies and sellers, then presents fresh Helium 10 data arguing Amazon search is far from dead. He also covers Amazon's new AI visual search, a study showing Amazon's AI assistant largely ignores organic rankings, and a software tool for the July 27th Amazon title change. Key Points Discussed: TikTok Shop's new US managed-services pilot launching in August — TikTok runs marketing, GMV Max ads, creative testing, listing optimization, and creator content (including hundreds of AI-generated videos)The pilot's cost: a $10,000 flat fee plus 10–20% commission per sale, open to US and foreign sellers, stacking on top of existing referral feesWhy it matters: TikTok now competes with its own agency partners, tightens its grip (mandatory GMV Max), and mirrors the Douyin company-managed playbookeMarketer pegs TikTok Shop at $23B+ in US sales this year vs. Amazon's projected $800B+ in 2026Helium 10's Bradley Sutton uses Search Query Performance data back to January 2024 to show Amazon search is not dead — flat search volume, steady clicks, non-collapsing conversion, and purchases up year over yearAmazon killed Rufus in May 2026 and replaced it with Alexa for Shopping (deeper purchase-history awareness, auto-purchase triggers, price reminders)MarketMaze research: the #1 Google spot pulls only ~5.7% CTR, position two ~3.4%, position ten ~0.2%Amazon's July 27th title split: a 75-character title plus 125 characters of Item Highlights, with Amazon's AI rewriting titles by defaultSuperfuel's AI agent writes titles from search query data, competitor titles, and reviews, then measures the sales impact of each changeAmazon rolls out AI-powered visual search for US app users — generating a reference image that becomes the benchmark for matching product photos (via BDSS Dream 100 member Vanessa Hung)Autopilotbrand.com study (covered by Marketplace Pulse): 64% of Alexa for Shopping picks fall outside the organic top ten, and 41% never appear on the visible results page — the "third shelf" you can't rank or buy your way onto Links Mentioned: BDSS Market Masters 4 (Austin, August 20–24)Bradley Sutton's Helium 10 write-up: Amazon keyword search is alive and wellSuperfuel — paste an ASIN free, no signupAutopilotbrand.comMarketplace Pulse: Amazon's AI doesn't read the rankingsStack Influence (10% off this month)Blueland micro-influencer case study with Stack InfluenceBillion Dollar Sellers Club Hot Picks: U.K. begins crackdown on the de minimis loopholeOpenAI's ad business expected to miss its forecast by 90%Google to merge shopping ads and free listing policies Stump Bezos Answer: 79% of consumers say they've switched brands because of an AI recommendation — nearly four out of five.

  • 7 strategies that make your ASIN answerable

    7 strategies that make your ASIN answerable
    2026/07/16
    Date: July 16, 2026 Summary: Kevin King breaks down a major shift in Amazon SEO: the keyword era is ending, and winning ASINs are now the ones optimized around complete noun phrases so they stay eligible across the whole family of queries a shopper's mission generates in the Rufus and Alexa world. He walks through seven specific Noun Phrase Optimization moves you can make right now, then covers Amazon's new multi-touch attribution toggle, fresh stats on AI shopping assistants, and a full slate of tools and hot picks. Key Points Discussed: The big shift in Amazon SEO: A9 still builds the candidate pool, but Rufus and Alexa for Shopping now sit on top, interpret the shopper's mission, and pick the winner. ReFiBuy's Andrew Bell calls being eligible across a whole family of queries "Query-Plan Coverage."Three acronyms to know: ACO (Agentic Commerce Optimization), QPO (Query Planning Optimization), and NPO (Noun Phrase Optimization), the language layer that makes your listing retrievable.What a noun phrase is: a head noun that gets more specific as you stack modifiers (lamp to dimmable metal floor lamp for a reading nook), plus why Amazon's Cosmo research means you should treat NPO as relation-aware language optimization.The seven NPO moves: map your query plan in five minutes, pull your Search Query Performance report, rebuild your title as a noun-phrase stack, put a constraint or proof phrase in your first two bullets, add an audience and occasion line, mine reviews and Q&A for real phrases, and run a single controlled test.Amazon's new attribution toggle: multi-touch attribution now sits next to last-click in the Sponsored Products console, so sales credit is shared across every ad that influenced a purchase and upper-funnel keywords finally get credit for their assists.Interesting stats: fresh MarketMaze research shows AI is winning discovery but checkout is fragmenting, with Amazon's Rufus and Alexa furthest ahead on the full package.Titan's new AI platform for running Amazon businesses, the Marketing Misfits episode on customer lifetime profit, Makenna and Forbes Riley's new book Pitch Secrets A–Z, and Nimstrata, which drops Google Cloud's AI Commerce Search into your Shopify store.

A year ago it held over 76%, and now it's barely above half as Gemini and Claude eat up that share. Parting Shot: "You may encounter many defeats, but you must not be defeated. In fact, it may be necessary to encounter the defeats, so you can know who you are, what you can rise from, and how you can still come out of it." - Maya Angelou Find us at BillionDollarSellers.com Follow me on Twitter and LinkedIn.
