Seasonality is often treated as predictable, but the data tells a more interesting story. Our president Jordan Brannon wrote an article for @Forbes unpacking what 200+ client results reveal about how shoppers actually behave during Q4 and how patterns shape holiday sales.

Also, expect Google's AI Mode, along with other chatbots, to push toward integrated checkout sooner rather than later. This is the foundation for the next era of ecommerce, where discovery, decision, and purchase collapse into a single AI-driven interaction. #Shopify #Ecommerce

For now, the launch is limited to the United States and to single-item purchases, with multi-item carts and other regions coming next.  Shopify's inclusion puts pressure on platforms like Adobe Commerce and BigCommerce to play catch up.

For shoppers, this means going from asking "best running shoes under $100" to tapping "Buy" and completing the purchase inside the chat in seconds. For sellers, it's a brand-new distribution channel.

Powered by a new Agentic Commerce Protocol co-built with Stripe, this is the first step towards agentic commerce: AI agents not just helping people decide what to buy, but completing the purchase flow end-to-end.

We said it was going to happen soon. It's now possible to shop without leaving #ChatGPT. 🛒 The launch starts with Etsy sellers, with over a million Shopify merchants rolling out soon. ⬇️ Continued

While we believe traditional SEO is still crucial, optimizing for AI platforms like ChatGPT is just as important. Is your business ready for the future of search? https://t.co/cggQ8S1PEZ #GEO #SEO #ArtificialIntelligence #DigitalMarketing #MarketingStrategy

This visibility is driving al business results. The takeaway is simple: businesses that adapt will stay visible on AI platforms. Those that don’t risk falling behind. At Coalition Technologies, we help businesses stay ahead in this rapidly evolving digital world.

Let’s look at a real-world example. One of our clients is a seafood restaurant on Pier 39 in San Francisco. After a digital marketing campaign with us, the restaurant now ranks among the top seafood recommendations in San Francisco on platforms like ChatGPT and Meta AI.

This shift has sparked the rise of SEO for Large Language Models (LLMs), or Generative Engine Optimization (GEO). It’s all about optimizing your content not just for traditional search engines, but also for AI platforms.

Responses generated by AI are pulled from a mix of pre-trained models, databases, and sometimes real-time searches. But what if your business isn’t included in these sources? It won’t show up in the AI-generated results.

Now, with the release of ChatGPT 4.5 and other platforms likely to follow suit with advanced updates, there's no denying the obvious: AI is here to stay, and every day more users are turning to it when seeking answers.

This is not a drill: Google’s reign is under threat! 🚨 For decades, Google has been the uncontested king of search, but maybe not for long. At least not if AI chatbots like ChatGPT, Meta AI, and Microsoft’s CoPilot have something to say about it.
