Problem
AI doesn’t browse your product pages—it matches queries using your structured product data. If specs and attributes are missing or inconsistent, you won’t show up in recommendations, even if your product is the best fit.

Solution
Standardize and enrich your catalog: define a clean attribute schema per category, normalize naming/units, fill missing fields, and QA for conflicts across SKUs and channels so AI can reliably compare products.

Lesson
In AI search, visibility = data quality. The brands that win aren’t the loudest—they’re the easiest for machines to understand.
