At Branex, we follow a proven method; a formula that helps us assemble the right AI team to do your biddings.

Assessing Your AI Requirements

If you’re planning to put together your AI dream team, you need to first assess your AI requirements. You can start by running an audit and checking up what you already have in your inventory. It will give you enough clarity on whether you’re missing talent, data, tools, or operational processes that your AI project depends on. Once you find the internal gaps, you can move toward shaping a clear direction for your AI goals.

Define Your Use Case

Think first, why do you need to implement AI and what problem can it possibly solve? Will it have any possible business outcome that will lead to your business success and save you cost effectively? Let’s say, your lead generation pipeline doesn’t have an organized way to funnel down leads to the right people. You want to use AI to automatically screen incoming sales leads from the website. The AI Agent may further categorize them based on intent and instantly route it to the most appropriate sales or support team member. It will send the right lead to the right person quickly preventing sales representatives from wasting precious or unqualified lead entries or unnecessary inquiries. Your core problem that AI solves: Slow and inconsistent lead triage leading to poor conversion rates. By integrating AI correctly, what you will achieve is:

• An increase in the speed of lead assignment and corresponding lift in conversion rates.
• Reduce the average lead qualification and routing time from long hours to short periods.
• Prevent sales team drain by reducing their time in handling lists of unqualified leads manually.

This use case will help you assemble the right team to build your Agentic AI solution. Do you want to learn how AI assistants can transform daily lives?

Imagine, a company that once struggled with innovation now creating personalized customer experiences at scale, or a manufacturing plant boosting production by 30% with generative AI-driven designs. This isn’t the future—it’s happening right now. In fact, according to a recent study, 72% of business leaders say AI will be the most significant driver of change in their industries in the next five years. With generative AI capabilities rapidly expanding, a McKinsey report revealed that AI could add $13 trillion to global GDP by 2030. But there’s more: Businesses leveraging generative AI report up to a 40% increase in efficiency. Just a few years ago, the concept of machines creating new content, ideas, or solutions seemed like something right out of science fiction. Fast forward to now, and companies across industries are harnessing this technology to reinvent how they work, connect with customers, and unlock new opportunities. From personalized marketing campaigns to groundbreaking product designs, Generative AI is not just enhancing business operations. It’s reshaping the very fabric of how companies approach digital transformation.  “But how is this shift happening, and what does it mean for the future of business?”  Let’s read on to learn how generated AI is not just a trend—but the engine driving the next wave of digital transformation.

What is Generative AI? 

Generative AI is a type of artificial intelligence that can create new content, ideas, or solutions on its own, rather than just analyzing or processing existing data.  Think of it like a creative partner instead of simply following instructions. It can generate text, images, music, or even code based on patterns  The best part is that I learned all that and more from large amounts of information. For example, if you ask a generative AI to write a blog post, it won’t just summarize existing content. It will create an entirely new article, often with a unique perspective or style.  Similarly, AI tools can design logos, craft personalized recommendations, and even simulate complex business scenarios. What makes generative AI powerful is that it learns from the data it’s fed and becomes better over time, continuously improving its ability to produce new, valuable outputs.  This makes Generative AI the real deal for businesses, helping them automate tasks, innovate faster, and offer more personalized experiences to customers.

The Technology Behind Generative AI 

The technological foundation behind Generative AI is built upon advanced methods like machine learning, deep learning, and neural networks. These technologies let AI systems learn from vast amounts of data and generate new content ideas, or solutions based on patterns they identify.  Let’s understand them individually: 

1. Machine Learning (ML):

At its core, machine learning allows AI to learn from data and improve over time without being explicitly programmed. It involves training algorithms on large datasets to recognize patterns and make predictions. In generative AI, machine learning enables the system to understand the structure of data (like language, images, or sounds) and use that knowledge to create new outputs. A key component of Machine Learning is Natural Language Processing (NLP) which ensures AI comprehends, generates, and interacts using human language. NLP as a subset of generative AI technology, drives advancements in creating human-like text and enabling chatbots, virtual assistants (VAs), and content creation.

2. Deep Learning:

A subset of machine learning, deep learning uses algorithms called artificial neural networks to process data through multiple layers. This enables the AI to understand more complex patterns and relationships within data. Deep learning models are especially powerful in generative AI, as they can handle vast amounts of data and extract intricate details—whether it’s generating lifelike images or writing human-like text.

3. Neural Networks:

Neural networks are inspired by the human brain, with interconnected nodes ("neurons") that process information in layers. In generative AI, these networks are used to understand and replicate patterns in data. The more layers (or "depth") in the network, the more complex the learning process becomes. Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) are a specific type of neural network where two networks (a generator and a discriminator) work together: one creates content (like images), and the other evaluates if it’s realistic enough, pushing the system to improve constantly.

Not long ago, I was searching the Internet and came across the term "Generative Engine Optimization." It got me thinking: Is that even possible? Then I realized how the advent of generative AI has transformed almost everything. Today, we are more inclined to optimize businesses for greater visibility, and that too with AI assistance.  Fast-forward to today, we are now seeing AI implemented in almost everything. Whether it be Google SGE (Search Generative Experience), BingChat, or ChatGPT, Google's AI search engine has become the cornerstone. So with so much happening in the artificial intelligence era, we often wonder if the concept is actually true, especially when it comes to optimizing search engines. Does it have any practical implementations in the field? This led me to explore and scour the Internet, and hence, I found Generative Search Engine Optimization (GEO). It’s a new discipline but covers the basics of our classic Search Engine Optimization (SEO). GEO aims to increase site visibility by optimizing and displaying contextually sound content. By incorporating generative AI in content creation, we enhance this approach, producing engaging, tailored content that aligns seamlessly with user intent. But before diving deep into their meanings and functionality, let’s differentiate between them.

What is Search Engine Optimization (SEO)?

SEO is a well-known search marketing strategy that merely focuses on optimizing websites by adding keywords to rank higher traditionally in SERPs. It usually involves searching for targeted keywords, producing top-quality content, building backlinks, and performing a series of other tactics.  SEO focuses on understanding how crawlers and indexers work. We are all aware of how Google works with algorithms. Every time a website goes live, Google sends web crawlers to explore the site content and see if it meets SEO guidelines. If it does, Google crawlers index the site for ranking.

What is Generative Engine Optimization (GEO)?

GEO is a much newer concept. It is the same as Answer Engine Optimization (AEO). It has recently emerged, leading to the rise of AI-driven search engines, which are also known as generative engines.  Unlike Google, GEO does not list websites; it creates comprehensive answers by taking information from multiple sources across the Internet. According to one of the recent pieces of research that I came across, GEO utilizes a mix of methods such as citations, quotations from relevant sources, & statistics to boost a website’s visibility through AI.

How Do SEO and GEO Differ From Each Other?

While SEO is a practice that optimizes websites to improve visibility ranking in search engine results pages (SERPs) based on relevant keywords & search queries, GEO is a more nuanced approach where optimization happens based on the responses from chatbots or other AI-driven tools. SEO uses a mix of strategies, as discussed earlier, including keyword research, content creation, on-page and off-page optimization, technical SEO implementations, and effective link building. Whereas GEO emphasizes other unique requirements such as context understanding, prompt engineering, and structuring data for better interaction.  While SEO requires accessing the site’s backend to include optimizing metadata, improving site speed, creating optimized content, building backlinks, and a series of other practices, GEO simply focuses on one thing alone: quality content—one that aligns with user expectations.

How is Success Measured in SEO and GEO?

Another important aspect is measuring the success of both practices based on implementations. In SEO, metrics such as click-through rate, bounce rate, and time spent on a page are commonly utilized. Instead, GEO proposes a set of impression metrics that measure the visibility of citations and relevance based on user queries. In fact, it is worth noting that SEO strategies can be applied universally across different types of content, while GEO strategies may vary depending on the domain in which you’re working! For example, if you’re discussing historical content, authoritative language may work best. Adding citations and laws will increase the chance of your work appearing in Generative Searches more effectively. However, even then, the crux of the entire GEO implementation is based upon contextual correction.

1. Perform Keyword Integration While Maintaining Contextual Depth

While GEO demands contextual depth, SEO requires the accurate integration of primary keywords within the text. This ensures that your content's primary keywords are strategically placed in titles, headers, and throughout the text. Regarding GEO, it’s best to consider keywords that can be naturally introduced within the content. There are plenty of opportunities to add secondary keywords, such as relevant statistics, expert quotations, or effective case studies. This not only helps with traditional SEO practices but also complements how AI engines generate adequate responses.

2. Optimizing for Authority and Relevance

SEO has always favored authority. As with GEO, your main focus should be to optimize the content for both authority and relevance. For example, if your content needs to be recognized by AI-driven engines, it’s important to include contextually sound information that is well-cited from industry-leading blogs and backed by academic papers. This way, AI engines can pull in more relevant information to generate contextually and technically sound answers.

3. Structured for Skimmability

Traditional SEO favors content that is easy to skim. This means your content should feature clear headings, proper bullet points, and concise paragraphs. In contrast, GEO depends on the depth of context. Content written specifically to entice human readers can often overlook small details and contextual depth. These depths are commonly found when you search for queries with GEO.

4. Focus on User Experience or User Intent

Both practices focus on satisfying the user intent. As far as SEO goes, user experience is all about searching queries which offers better customer satisfaction. At the same time, it’s focused on reducing bounce rates and improving the reader’s dwell time. However, GEO focuses mostly on creating content that answers broader questions. It eventually breaks down content into digestible parts for AI engines to use as answers. 

5. User Engagement Score

Beyond bounce rate and time on page, user engagement score can give you a nuanced look at how users interact with content. This metric combines various factors—like time spent, scroll depth, and engagement with interactive elements (think infographics or embedded videos). For SEO, high engagement often signals relevance and authority, while for GEO, it indicates that the content resonates well with users, fulfilling AI-driven engines’ need for rich, engaging responses.

6. AI Readability Index

While traditional SEO considers readability (aiming for concise, skimmable content), GEO measures AI readability index. This is an emerging metric that evaluates how effectively AI can parse your content for relevance, tone, and factual depth. When optimized for this index, content becomes more accessible for AI engines, enhancing its chances of being featured in generative responses. In short, balancing SEO readability with AI readability ensures that your content is not only human-friendly but AI-friendly as well, offering comprehensive AI overviews for search.

7. Content Alignment with User Intent

One evolving metric for both SEO and GEO is content alignment with user intent. In SEO, this means that content precisely addresses what users are searching for. GEO, however, goes deeper into the "why" behind queries, especially as AI models attempt to satisfy broader, sometimes complex user questions. If users consistently find answers to their intent within your content, both SEO and GEO algorithms take note, rewarding content alignment with higher visibility and better positioning.

8. Structured Data Implementation Rate

Another crucial metric is the structured data implementation rate, especially significant in GEO. SEO benefits from structured data to enhance search features like rich snippets, but GEO takes this a step further by focusing on contextual organization. For instance, using schema markup for citations, content types, and source credibility indicators improves GEO performance, making it easier for AI engines to pull contextually rich snippets and authoritative insights.

9. Contextual Relevance Score

In SEO, contextual relevance has traditionally been tied to keyword optimization. GEO, however, gauges a contextual relevance score that considers the entirety of a topic's depth and accuracy, as AI engines prioritize well-contextualized data. This score, derived from how accurately content reflects topic nuances and authoritative knowledge, signals to AI models that your work is both informative and reliable, potentially increasing its visibility in generative responses.

Concluding Thoughts 

In today’s digital world, Generative Engine Optimization (GEO) and Search Engine Optimization (SEO) each play vital roles in connecting with audiences. SEO is essential for helping people find your website through traditional search engines, while GEO brings the power of AI to deliver more personalized, on-demand content. Choosing between GEO and SEO, or combining both, depends on your goals and audience. SEO keeps you visible in search results, while GEO helps you meet modern expectations for tailored, immediate content. By blending these strategies, you’re setting up your brand for success in a digital world that values both accessibility and personalization. We believe in creating remarkably impactful digital experiences. As a generative AI development company, our agenda is also to ensure that your website ranks at the top of search results. To achieve this, we use a variety of tactics, including but not limited to SEO and GEO strategies. If you’re looking to invest in the right digital marketing practices, Branex is only a consultation away.

From streamlining content creation to providing personalized recommendations, these intelligent companions are rapidly becoming indispensable tools. In this expert roundup, we delve into the importance of generative AI and explore 9 ways generative AI can enhance our routines, transforming how we work, learn, and interact with the world around us. Join us as we discuss the best generative AI tools available. Discover how generative AI in content creation is reshaping the way we communicate and consume information.

1. Minimizing Risk in UI/UX Designing

Artificial Intelligence plays a key role in enhancing and automating tasks most effectively. And improving the user experience by delivering more picture-perfect digital products. It remarkably fulfills the need for human creativity and brings more robust AI-driven insights to the table, which increase user satisfaction and contribute to overall engagement while speeding up innovation. And it does all that by minimizing risk to a considerable extent. In my company, Branex, we have achieved this amazing feat by introducing Generative AI-based solutions within in-house teams. So they feel more geared up to bring more robust solutions that cause minimal disruption. Our staff is exceptional in designing amazing UI/UX designs and setting the development bar high for a number of different industry verticals. It’s no secret how AI is transforming our very lives, and introducing it within our everyday technology is just something we are running shy of. Raheel Najmi, CEO – Branex

2. Seamless AI Integration Across Devices

There is a good chance that all new smartphones will be equipped with integrated AI assistants in the near future. We already have voice assistants, and the next iPhone is going to have Apple Intelligence, which will significantly expand the capabilities of Siri. But, likely, it will eventually be taken a step further where smartphones automatically have AI assistants. And those assistants will probably also be integrated with our other connected personal devices like our laptops and smartwatches. Edward Tian, CEO – GPTZero

3. Revolutionizing Personalized Learning

As the founder of StudyX, I think it's obvious that I believe AI assistants will become an essential part of education, especially for self-study and homework in our daily lives. It can be found that there are already a lot of AI tools designed to help students study from preschool to higher education. The biggest advantage of AI assistants is that they can provide personalized assistance to students anytime, anywhere. It can offer targeted learning content and suggestions based on students' learning progress and interests, helping students comprehend knowledge more efficiently. This is also one of the reasons why we created StudyX. Many students now cannot receive timely learning advice and assistance due to factors such as personality, teacher-student relationships, and learning environment. Simply using search engines or looking up books may waste plenty of time and make it difficult for them to understand. But an AI learning assistant, taking our StudyX as an example, can provide step-by-step answers to students' questions during homework or learning processes. And generate personalized exercises based on students' weak areas to help them consolidate their knowledge. At the same time, AI's chat ability can help students engage in deep learning, enabling them to fully utilize fragmented learning time and improve learning efficiency. In addition, parents can also use AI assistants to better follow their children's learning progress even though they do not have professional knowledge. However, AI assistants in education may also bring some hidden troubles. For example, if students rely on AI too much, they will lack the ability to think independently and critically. In addition, as AI gradually replaces some of the functions of teachers, interpersonal interactions in learning may decrease. Therefore, the application of AI in education needs to be carefully balanced to ensure that it becomes an assistant tool for students' learning, rather than a dominant force. Alex Muz, Founder - StudyX

4. Personal Research Analysts

As the founder of Merlin AI, an online productivity and research tool, I believe one way AI assistants will become an essential part of our daily lives is by transforming the way we interact with information and enhancing efficiency. In the future, AI assistants will not only manage our schedules and respond to voice commands but will also act as personal research analysts, curating and synthesizing data tailored to our specific goals. Imagine waking up each morning to a briefing prepared by your AI assistant, summarizing the latest developments in your field, and offering actionable insights on how to apply them to your work projects. The integration of AI assistants into daily life will significantly impact how we approach work, education, and personal development, by providing real-time data analysis and recommendations that are aligned with individual preferences and aspirations. By seamlessly integrating with digital platforms, these assistants can automate mundane tasks, allowing us to focus on more creative and strategic activities. Furthermore, AI assistants can facilitate a more balanced lifestyle by suggesting optimal times for work, rest, and leisure, personalized to our unique rhythms and requirements. Advanced AI assistants will be capable of helping us make more informed decisions, whether it's managing personal finances or understanding global events. They will become trusted companions in navigating the complexities of everyday life, with the capability to adapt to changing priorities and unforeseen challenges. By fostering a more intuitive and interactive relationship with information, AI assistants will empower us to achieve more while enhancing our quality of life, proving to be indispensable partners in our daily routines. Pratyush Rai, CEO – Merlin AI

5. Personalized Experiences in Self-Driving Cars

AI assistants are becoming important in various aspects of our lives, and one area where I see this happening is in the area of self-driving cars. We’re already witnessing self-driving taxis navigating the streets of San Francisco, controlled entirely by AI. As these technologies advance, our interactions with them will increasingly be driven by AI assistants. Imagine getting into a self-driving car and being greeted by an AI that asks about your preferred temperature, music choices, or even the type of experience you want during your ride. These personalized interactions that are driven by AI, will soon become a routine part of our daily lives, improving convenience and comfort in ways we’re only beginning to explore. George Burgess, Founder & CEO – Modern Day Talent

6. Personalized Health Monitoring for Well-Being

One way AI assistants will become an essential part of our daily lives is through their ability to act as personalized health monitors. We often think of AI as just a tool for setting reminders or managing our schedules. However, its potential in health management is enormous and largely untapped by most people. Imagine an AI assistant that analyzes your daily habits—what you eat, how much you exercise, and your sleep patterns—and then provides real-time feedback and suggestions for improvement. It could remind you to take a break if you’ve been sitting too long, suggest meal plans based on your dietary needs, or even detect anomalies in your speech patterns or typing speed that might indicate stress or the onset of illness. What’s even more impressive is the ability of these AI systems to learn and adapt over time. They could offer increasingly accurate health insights tailored specifically to your body and lifestyle. This kind of proactive health management can prevent small issues from turning into bigger problems and promote overall well-being. Lissa Poirot, Head of Content – Joy Wallet

7. Manage Relationships with AI Reminders

Imagine having an assistant that not only remembers your anniversary but also suggests the perfect gift and even drafts a heartfelt message. AI will soon make this a reality by analyzing our communication patterns. This means it can keep track of how often you connect with friends or family and notify you when it's been a while since you checked in with someone important. To make the most of this technology, consider integrating an AI-based app with your calendar and contacts. This will allow the AI to set reminders for birthdays, anniversaries, and other key events. It can also suggest personalized gestures, like sending a favorite book to a friend who enjoys reading or planning a video call with your grandmother who loves to chat. This practical approach ensures your relationships stay strong, even in a busy world. Casey Meraz, CEO, Juris Digital

8. Revolutionize Travel Planning and Experiences

AI assistants are on the verge of reshaping our travel planning and trip experiences. They will not only handle routine tasks like booking flights but also create customized itineraries tailored to our preferences and budgets. These assistants will seamlessly adjust plans in response to unexpected changes, such as weather conditions or flight delays while suggesting unique destinations and recommending dining and activities based on real-time data. Leveraging such technology can transform travel from a stressful task into a smooth adventure. Matt Gehring, Chief Marketing Officer, Dutch

9. Reduce Cyber Security Costs

AI assistants will play a crucial role in our daily lives by delivering significant cost savings, particularly in cyber security. Since 2023, more organizations have deployed AI in their security operations and are seeing substantial reductions in breach-related expenses. Companies that extensively use AI for prevention tasks—such as attack surface management, red teaming, and posture management—reported saving an average of $2.2 million compared to those without AI in their prevention workflows. This reflects the growing importance of AI in enhancing security and reducing the financial burden of cyber-attacks. As businesses continue to embrace AI in these workflows, both in terms of improved prevention and cost-efficiency. AI assistants will likely become integral to managing risks and protecting assets in everyday operations. Mia Naumoska, CMO, Internxt

The Bottom-line

Artificial Intelligence is set on its path to create digital solutions, especially the ones geared to offer us well-rounded and satisfying experiences. It’s an impending reality that promises to revolutionize how we interact with technology and navigate our routines. From enhancing personalized learning and revolutionizing travel experiences to managing our health and fostering deeper relationships. AI assistants are set to become indispensable companions in our lives. The journey towards a new era of intelligent assistance is rapidly taking charge.

It’s no secret how the eCommerce market keeps evolving.  From personalized approaches in showcasing products digitally to customized feedback received from customers, the eCommerce industry is set on a trajectory to achieve maximum growth.  Recent data indicates that global eCommerce growth is projected to reach 10.7%, with sales expected to hit around $6.5 trillion worldwide.

The Role of Artificial Intelligence in the eCommerce Industry 

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is truly transforming the way we see the world. In the world of eCommerce, it’s significantly contributing to improving not just the customer’s experience but also the overall operational efficiency. There are many AI technologies such as machine learning, natural language processing & computer vision that help businesses to automate customer service, create personalized recommendations on products, and in fact, even optimize the overall supply chain management.  Today, there are AI-powered chatbots and virtual assistants as well which offer 24/7 customer support allowing customers to put up their queries and address concerns.  With AI-driven analytics, it becomes relatively easier for a web development company & other business owners to gain valuable insights into customer behavior, understand their buying patterns & address preferences. Such practices optimize the shopper’s online experience using a particular website or mobile app and improve the user experience ultimately increasing the chance of conversion.  There are other AI-powered implementations as well which are more useful in detecting and preventing fraudulent activities such as identity theft and even trace credit card scams and so on.  That’s not all because the use of AI in eCommerce goes beyond just tracking fraudulent activities; it also helps with automating routine tasks, managing inventories, performing order fulfillment, and freeing up resources so you can focus more on strategic and creative tasks.  A few benefits of AI implementation in eCommerce include the following: 

• Personalized customer experiences
• Improved operational efficiency
• Enhanced security and integrity of transactions
• Increased conversions and sales
• Better customer insights and data-driven decision-making
• Automation of routine tasks

How AI is Changing the Face of eCommerce? 

Different AI subfields have almost something valuable to offer; specifically in the changing world of eCommerce. AI technologies such as natural language processing, sentiment analysis, and predictive analytics are shaping the way online individuals shop, transforming the overall eCommerce industry.  Here are some of the AI technologies that are definitely changing the way eCommerce works: 

1. Machine Learning

Machine learning (ML) is capable of automating decision-making as well as performing product recommendations in real-time. It is a widely accepted concept in the artificial intelligence realm as one where complex algorithms are trained to learn from pre-existing data models and improve on the existing ones so they can generate better and more accurate results. Today, eCommerce businesses are employing machine learning to gain valuable customer insight and bring more conversions. 

2. Natural Language Processing (NLP) 

NLP, termed natural language processing, is one of the components which utilize voice search & speech recognition. With NLP, it becomes easier for complex search algorithms working behind the scenes to understand the concepts more effectively. At the same time, it helps computers to understand written & spoken words more effectively. Certain applications of NLP and how it helps businesses achieve better results are through spam detection and by leveraging the power of chatbots. 

3. Sentiment Analysis 

Sentiment analysis is mostly used to monitor customer feedback and gain a better understanding of the audience’s needs and wants. In terms of business, it helps with making appropriate decisions and performing actions that do not leave the customers disgruntled. With sentiment analysis, marketers are more well-equipped to understand and respond to customers more effectively. It helps them to tailor their respective offerings to better suit their customer requirements. 

4. Predictive Analytics 

By leveraging big data and statistics to identify customer requirements, predictive analytics determine the best channels to understand the average shopper’s behavior. At the same time, predictive analytics also spot purchasing trends and optimize a shopper’s online purchasing experience. In this way, marketers better equip themselves to identify behavior and churn out results that prevent data loss. Predictive analytics determine what their average customer needs and when their interest piques while shopping. 

5. Deep Learning 

Deep learning leverages the use of large datasets and helps businesses make predictions to better understand trends, perform effective user actions, and understand user behavior at a deeper level compared to machine learning. These algorithms are very powerful in tracing a person’s buyer’s journey; they utilize this information to predict what type of purchases online shoppers will most likely make. Deep learning helps e-commerce businesses make more relevant recommendations & design personalized content that not only improves customer retention but also increases e-commerce conversions. 

How Do Businesses Use AI in eCommerce?

Artificial intelligence is not only about automating repetitive tasks. Its applications in eCommerce go a long way, and its benefits far outweigh the costs. Here’s how AI in eCommerce allows you to take your business to new heights. Check out these benefits of using AI in eCommerce and gaining success:

1. Increased Cybersecurity

Using AI models enhances your business’s safety and security. For example, AI in eCommerce can automate the detection of inappropriate content using the right AI model and develop new rules that prevent fraudulent transactions. It can also help detect threats and prevent unwanted bots from creating problems on your website. With AI integrated into your eCommerce solutions, you don’t have to worry about external influences stealing credentials or creating fake profiles, ultimately resulting in the protection of customer data.

2. Better Customer Service

Ask anyone who utilizes AI applications within their business operations, and they will tell you that the two most commonly used applications are chatbots and virtual assistants. They are not only accessible but also provide customers with well-rounded support by keeping them up-to-date regarding complex queries, helping them answer frequently asked questions, or directing them to relevant answers. Furthermore, with the continuous development of ML and NLP, chatbots are evolving tremendously, which helps them learn from previous conversations and better understand customer intent.

3. Fully Targeted Advertising

Artificial intelligence uses data to enable intelligent product recommendations, which help better target potential customers, guide them through the buyer’s journey, and help them find the best products in their respective stores. AI helps customers base their decisions on multiple data points such as purchase history, browsing habits, and searched products. Besides product recommendations, you can also use AI to create content for different audience types. Altogether, this assists businesses in making much more accurate recommendations, reducing buying time, increasing conversion rates, and ultimately enhancing customer satisfaction.

4. Streamlined Business Processes

Since AI possesses the capability to work with large data sets and collect data from various sources, it is quite useful in streamlining business operations. A great application of AI in eCommerce is its capability to automate repetitive tasks and optimize workflow. As a result, AI allows eCommerce business owners to automate marketing processes, such as PPC advertising, SEO marketing, social media marketing, and content development. This not only increases employee efficiency but also considerably reduces the risk of human error.

5. Creating More Personalized Experiences

Among the many benefits of AI, this technology can drive customer insights which can then be used to create unique, relevant, and personalized experiences for customers using multiple devices. Artificial intelligence is not only limited to offering you useful recommendations by intelligently understanding what you want from your past purchase decisions, but it also leverages AI to deliver better search results and understand you by including your sentiments, your needs, your interests & ultimately understanding your overall behavior. 

What Needs to Be Done Before Implementing AI into Your eCommerce Practices?

Introducing AI into your eCommerce business is a significant step that can enhance your strategy. Here are some actionable tips to guide you through this process:

1. Identify AI’s Role in Your Business - First, determine what you want AI to achieve for your eCommerce platform. Are you aiming to enhance your offerings or gain deeper insights into your audience? Gather your team—marketers, business planners, designers, developers, and other stakeholders—to discuss their needs and identify how AI can meet these requirements.
2. Engage Your Entire Team - When planning to implement AI, it's important to involve everyone in the organization. Keep the process simple to help your team select relevant solutions, customize them to fit their needs, and scale as necessary. If you decide to go for a comprehensive AI solution, consider forming a dedicated AI team to manage the implementation.
3. Evaluate AI’s Effectiveness - Regularly review data to assess AI’s impact. Is it working? If so, review the complete data and find use cases supported by AI. Start by identifying revenue-generating opportunities and see how you can use the available data.

Use Cases with Real-Life Examples of AI Implementations in eCommerce

1. Personalized Product Recommendations

Imagine walking into a store where every item on display seems tailor-made just for you. That's what AI can do for eCommerce. By analyzing a customer's past purchases, browsing habits, and preferences, AI crafts personalized product recommendations that feel like they were handpicked. This personalized touch not only boosts sales but also leaves customers feeling understood and satisfied. Take Amazon, for instance. Their "You May Also Like" section leverages machine learning to offer suggestions based on what you've previously bought or browsed. It's like having a personal shopper who knows your tastes perfectly.

2. Intelligent Search Functionality

Have you ever struggled to find the right words to describe what you're looking for online? AI-powered search engines come to the rescue by understanding natural language queries, even when they're incomplete or slightly off. This means you can search with an image, your voice, or just a casual description. eBay is a great example, with its AI-driven search that lets users find products effortlessly using images or voice commands. It's all about making the search process smoother and more intuitive, helping you find exactly what you need with minimal hassle.

3. Chatbots and Customer Support

Nobody likes waiting on hold for customer service, and AI chatbots are here to change that. These intelligent assistants provide instant support, answer common questions, and enhance the overall shopping experience. Take Sephora's chatbot, Sephora Assistant, for example. It not only helps customers find the right products but also offers personalized recommendations and real-time assistance throughout the shopping journey. With AI chatbots, customer support becomes quick, efficient, and available 24/7, turning a potential pain point into a seamless experience.

4. Predictive Analytics and Forecasting

What if you could predict future trends and make decisions today that set you up for success tomorrow? That's exactly what AI does with predictive analytics. By analyzing historical data, AI forecasts demand and optimizes inventory management. Walmart utilizes this technology to ensure that its shelves are stocked just right, reducing the risk of running out of popular items while avoiding excess inventory. It’s like having a crystal ball for your business, allowing you to be proactive rather than reactive.

5. Price Optimization

Finding the perfect price for a product can be tricky, but AI takes the guesswork out of the equation. By analyzing market data, customer behavior, and competitors' pricing, AI suggests optimal price points that maximize sales and profitability. Dynamic Yield, for instance, helped IKEA fine-tune its pricing strategy based on real-time customer behavior and market trends. This smart pricing approach not only boosts sales but also keeps customers happy by offering competitive prices that match their expectations.

6. Fraud Detection

In the world of online transactions, security is paramount. AI plays a crucial role in detecting patterns and anomalies that indicate fraudulent activities, ensuring safe and secure shopping experiences for everyone. PayPal, for example, uses machine learning algorithms to identify and prevent fraud in real-time, protecting both buyers and sellers. With AI, eCommerce platforms can stay one step ahead of fraudsters, building trust and reliability with every transaction.

7. Visual Search

Sometimes words fail to describe what you're looking for, and that's where AI-powered visual search steps in. By allowing users to search for products by uploading an image, AI makes it easier than ever to find similar items. ASOS, for example, uses this technology to let customers upload a picture of a product they love, and the system will find similar options available on their platform. It's like having a magic wand that turns a picture into a shopping list.

8. Automated Email Marketing

AI revolutionizes email marketing by making it more personalized and efficient. Instead of generic blasts, AI crafts campaigns based on customer behavior and preferences, ensuring each message resonates with its recipient. Netflix, for instance, sends personalized email recommendations to its subscribers based on their viewing history and preferences, enticing them to explore new shows or continue watching their favorites. It’s about creating connections and encouraging engagement in a way that feels natural and relevant.

9. Smart Content Creation

Creating compelling product descriptions and marketing content can be time-consuming, but AI makes it a breeze. By generating personalized content, AI saves time and resources while maintaining a high level of quality and engagement. Alibaba, for instance, uses AI to craft unique product descriptions for its vast catalog, ensuring each item stands out with tailored content. It’s like having a team of creative writers working around the clock to bring your products to life.

10. AI-Powered Product Design

AI is even transforming product design by analyzing trends, customer feedback, and market data to inspire innovation. Nike, for instance, uses AI to design cutting-edge footwear that aligns with customer preferences and performance metrics. By combining data with creativity, AI helps brands like Nike stay ahead of the curve, delivering products that are not only functional but also highly desirable. It’s like having a design partner who never sleeps, constantly seeking the next big thing.

This past month, I have been using Google a lot for my daily searches.  Although I am more of a fan of DuckDuckGo since it offers better accuracy in results, Google still takes center stage because it’s just one of those fads that are never going to fade.  What really intrigued me this time was the AI Overview feature and it really got me thinking.  Is Google really putting in the effort to make the search experience better for its users?   So I took the time and sat down with some of our SEO experts at Branex. We had a nice chat over a cup of coffee and they told me the ins and outs of the AI Overview for Search.  But they had their own fears, and here’s what they had to say about it,  One of them said; 

“Google AI Overview poses a high risk for traffic loss, particularly with websites that focus purely on information.” 

Another one voiced a different concern, 

“If an AI Overview already displays all the relevant information in the search results, then users may no longer have a reason to visit individual websites.” 

 So I took the liberty upon myself to clear these fears out. I did my research and wrote this article on how SEO doesn't need to worry about AI Overview for Search. 

The Power of AI in Search - A Google Revolution

For a long time, AI-powered search was exclusive to a select few - tech elites, coders, and early adopters.  The exclusive club held the power of AI using it to revolutionize the way we find information. Then, in May 2024, Google, the search engine giant, brought AI to the masses. With the introduction of AI Overviews, the familiar Google search page took on a new dimension. Nearly 70% of all search queries were instantly transformed, with AI-generated responses appearing at the top of the results page. This meant that over 14 million searches now included AI-powered answers, a significant shift that impacted how we interact with information. As of June 2024, while the percentage of searches triggering AI Overviews has settled to around 10%, the impact is still immense. With over 1.5 million daily searches in the U.S. alone benefiting from this new feature, it's a defining moment for users and businesses alike. Hema Budaraju, Google’s Senior Director of Product for AI Overviews, sheds light on when you're most likely to encounter this new feature:

"AI Overviews is designed to assist with specific and complex queries. For example, if you're wondering 'What prerequisites are needed for a particular course?' or 'How do I optimize my website for voice search?', that's when you're likely to see it in action."

(A little birdie tells me that if you want to test this out for yourself, try searching for "AI-powered tools," “Google AI model,” "voice search optimization," or "advanced calculus techniques." You might just be surprised!) With Google's AI Overviews, the power of AI in search has never been more accessible.  It's an exciting time for users and a turning point for businesses, as we navigate this new world of information retrieval. 

How is Google’s AI Overview Enhancing the Power of Search? 

1. For the Casual User

Imagine you're a casual internet user, just browsing the web for everyday information. You might be wondering how AI Overviews change your Google Search experience. Well, for starters, it makes finding simple information even easier! Let's say you're looking for a nearby restaurant. While AI Overviews is designed for more complex queries, it still provides a seamless search experience for your casual queries too. You'll quickly get the information you need, like directions, operating hours, and contact details, all at a glance. But where AI Overviews shine is when you want to explore a topic in more depth. Let's take a common interest like "space exploration." With AI Overviews, you might see a summary of the latest space missions, upcoming events, and even suggested related topics, like the history of space travel or the future of private space companies. It's like having your guide to the vast universe of information.

2. For the Student or Researcher

As a student or researcher, AI Overviews becomes your trusty sidekick. Let's say you're working on a project about the potential impact of climate change on coastal communities. With AI Overviews, you can ask complex questions and get instant, comprehensive responses. It might provide you with an overview of the latest research, and relevant statistics, and even suggest related topics, like adaptation strategies or policy changes. For instance, a student curious about "the impact of social media on youth" might not only get an overview of the topic but also suggestions for further exploration, such as the psychological effects, the influence of influencer culture, or the potential benefits of online communities. A survey by the Pew Research Center found that over 70% of students and researchers believe that search engines have a 'mostly positive' impact on their work, and with AI Overviews, this impact is set to increase. So, the next time you're working on a project or paper, remember that AI Overviews can be a powerful tool to enhance your understanding and provide new directions for your research.

3. For the Business Professional

In the business world, time is money, and AI Overviews understands that.  Whether you’re a marketing professional, social media enthusiast or someone interested in the latest trends of SMM, AI Overviews can offer you a quick overview of the topic which includes all the recent developments, successful campaign strategies, and even future predictions.  AI Overviews also offer valuable industry-specific information.  For example, a financial advisor might search for "investment trends in a high-inflation environment." It gives him an insightful summary of expert opinions, historical data, and potential risks and opportunities.  You can think of it as a personal business advisor helping you make informed decisions.  With AI Overview, businesses can also gain insight into customer’s behaviors and preferences. For example, a retailer might search for “online shopping trends during the holiday season.”  For example, a retailer might search for something like, “online shopping trends during the holiday season” and with AI Overview get results like statistics on consumer spending, popular product categories, and even suggestions for strategies to optimize customer experience.  The benefits of AI are undeniably vast! But let's circle back to our main concern - how will AI impact the SEO market, and how can SEO specialists leverage it to their advantage?

Google AI Overview - A Few Search Tips for Digital Marketers 

You know what they say if you can’t beat the hare, then you become the hare.  With AI-driven search engines such as Google’s SGE, it becomes more prevalent to adapt to SEO strategies which include concepts such as the Generative Engine Optimization (GEO).  To make things easier for you, we have some tips that can definitely help you get started: 

1. Focus on Writing High-Quality Content 

According to a study by HubSpot, articles with updated content are 74% more likely to perform better in search rankings, and those with engaging headlines can increase click-through rates by up to 30%. If there’s one key factor that will make your content stand out and rank highly in Google's AI-driven era, it's how well-researched and informative your content is. As long as your content is engaging and of high quality, it is more likely to be cited in AI-generated responses. When writing, ensure that your message is clear and concise. Avoid unnecessary fluff and get straight to the point. Regularly updating your content with the latest trends and information holds significance. Always invest in writing engaging headlines designed to capture attention. Prioritize user feedback, as it offers valuable insights into how you can continually improve your content. 

2. Use Structured Data Approach 

You want Google to understand the context of your content, and this can only be achieved if you speak the language that Google speaks.  If you want to improve your chance of getting featured in AI Overviews, here are a few steps that you need to perform to get featured: 

• Add schema markup using schema.org to your HTML. 
• You can use JSON-LD format for easy integration with search engines. 
• Introduce key elements such as articles, reviews & events. 
• Validate structured data using Google’s Structured Data Testing Tool to check errors. 
• Monitor performance to track how structured data impacts search visibility. 

3. Don’t Forget to Include Citations & References 

To create authority, your content must include citations and references from authoritative sources. By adding authoritative links to your website, you can boost your content’s credibility and increase its overall visibility. Whether you’re using AI-generated or traditional responses, add citations & references. 

• Always add important references to well-known and credible resources. 
• Another strategy is to use inline citations to place references within the text to support your point. 
• Create a reference section to list all sources at the end of your purposeful content. 
• Add links to original research creating useful links to studies and make mentions. 
• Don’t forget to mention important links and ensure all references are current & relevant. 

4. Make Use of Multimedia 

According to research by SEMrush, websites that use structured data have a 36% higher click-through rate and a 20% increase in traffic compared to those that don’t.  Incorporating multimedia can further increase engagement, with studies showing that articles with images receive 94% more views than those without. It’s always best to add images, make more videos, and design infographics to make your content a whole lot more engaging and easier to understand.  When you implement these practices, it allows Google’s AI to analyze and present the data in effective limelight & increase the content credibility manifolds. 

• Start with adding high-quality images which are relevant and high-resolution. 
• Create videos which are informative and complement your overall written content. 
• Optimize media for best SEO implementations by using alt text, captions, and descriptions. 
• Design infographics to visually represent data and add newer concepts. 
• Embed multimedia in content, integrated images, and added videos & text within the infographic. 

5. Optimize Content for Voice Search 

We are living in an era where voice search takes center stage.  Today, AI-driven search engines have become increasingly popular, utilizing a mix of written content and voice search. As a result, it's essential to optimize content for natural language, ensuring it aligns with conversational tones. When creating content, it's important to write in a way that mimics natural speech, making the language more engaging and accessible. A good example is to cover content by including FAQs that address the typical user queries. Many marketers today focus on covering long-tail keywords, one that people are most likely to speak about rather than type out. It’s always best to address those queries by writing content that’s well-optimized for voice search. Also, never forget about covering how-to guides to answer UGC. All of these efforts would sequentially contribute towards content optimization for AI Overviews. 

Artificial Intelligence - You Don’t Have to Be Afraid 

You might have heard a lot about AI lately, and it's easy to feel a bit unsure about this new technology.  But we're here to tell you that there's no need to be afraid!  AI is your friend, and it's here to make your life easier and more fun. AI is not here to replace SEO but to enhance it. Here's why SEO doesn't need to be afraid:

1. AI Enhances Search Precision

AI-driven overviews are designed to provide more accurate and relevant search results. This means that well-optimized content has a higher chance of being featured, especially when it’s structured to answer specific user queries. AI helps in surfacing the best content, so SEO efforts focused on quality and relevance will continue to thrive.

2. Focus on User Intent

AI overviews prioritize understanding user intent, which is something that good SEO already aims to do. By aligning SEO strategies with AI’s focus on intent, content creators can ensure their work remains valuable and visible. This alignment reinforces the importance of understanding and predicting what users are really searching for.

3. New Opportunities for Featured Content

As AI overviews become more common, there's an increased opportunity to be featured in these snippets. Well-structured content that clearly addresses common queries or offers unique insights will be more likely to appear in these prime positions. This could mean more visibility for those who adapt their SEO strategies accordingly.

4. AI and Human Input are Complementary

While AI can process large amounts of data quickly, it lacks the human touch that understands nuances, emotions, and cultural contexts. SEO experts can leverage this by creating content that resonates emotionally or culturally with audiences, something AI alone can't fully replicate.

5. SEO's Role in Feeding AI

The AI overview relies heavily on the content it crawls and indexes. High-quality SEO-optimized content feeds this AI, making SEO professionals more critical than ever in shaping what information is presented. The better the content, the better the AI results.

6. Adaptation Over Fear

SEO has always evolved with technological advancements. The introduction of AI in SERP is just another step in that evolution. Instead of fearing it, SEO experts can adapt by focusing on the new rules of engagement—like optimizing for natural language queries and understanding AI’s ranking factors. Think of AI as a really smart assistant that can help you with all sorts of things. It can answer your questions, give you helpful information, and even make suggestions.  The best part? It's always learning and improving, so it gets better the more you use it. Some people might find AI a little intimidating at first. Maybe they've seen movies or read books that make it seem scary or complicated. But here's the thing - You don't need to be an expert to use AI.  According to Ziff Davis, 

“We analyzed thousands of queries across our key domains that generate the lion’s share of our organic search referrals and the percentage of times that an AI Overview appeared. It fell to 8%, meaning 92% of the time the search engine results page did not include an AI Overview for the queries that matter to us most. Analysis by other industry experts indicates a similar percentage of overall searches resulting in AI Overviews. At this point, we don’t see it as a significant change to the search experience.”

 

Conclusion

So there’s nothing to worry about. Just start with something simple.  The key is to remember that AI is built to work for you. It's there to make your life better and simplify complex tasks. So, the next time you want to learn something new or need a helping hand, give AI a try.  It's a brave new world, but one that you can explore at your own pace. So, don't be afraid to embrace AI and all that it offers. It's an exciting journey, and you're in the driver's seat. Ask, explore, and discover—that's the beauty of AI.

This quick iteration process usually helps marketers put the most effective content in front of the target audience. Multilingual Support – Today, AI holds the capability to translate content into more than 140 different languages from around the world. In fact, there’s no language on planet Earth where artificially intelligent tools of today is unable to decipher. It can translate content & adapt to different cultural contexts, yet at the same time, eliminate the need for costly translation services. So, if you’re a brand looking to reach a global audience, AI can really make an impact on your business by offering language localization services.   Human AI – With AI working the bulk of your content creation, it creates a remarkable opportunity for marketing enthusiasts. Taking the load off their shoulders of spending hours researching and coming up with relevant information. Marketers effectively work on strategic storytelling, developing compelling narratives, and coming up with a strong & consistent brand voice which they can push across all channels.   Idea Generation – The AI algorithm is capable of more than just performing research; it can easily analyze trends, perform deeper competitor analysis, and come up with relevant content topics as well. In certain situations, it literally works as a catalyst for creativity. Not only does it help you with coming up with an idea, but you can also create an outline & organize key points to ensure your content is well-suited for your valued audience.   Visual Content – AI algorithms can appeal to a wide range of customers by promoting effective visual content. Now, digital marketers don’t have to go through extensive visual content libraries to come up with designs for personalized ads featuring their products in different contexts. Instead, with effective generative AI tools such as Midjourney and others, marketers can easily create appealing visual content that brings a range of customers solutions that meet their respective needs & preferences. 

Data Dependencies – Limitations of Generative AI for Content Creation 

The statement that AI would eventually surpass human intelligence is largely unfounded. There are just so many factors which contribute to this statement.   One factor that can be brought to attention is the current algorithm’s deep reliance on vast amounts of data to learn and function effectively. This dependence of the algorithm on large datasets becomes a major bottleneck in the scaling of the AI system. Unlike humans, AI systems are dependent on millions of data points to perform even basic tasks.   Another factor that impacts the performance of Generative AI is directly tied to the inconsistencies present within the data sets. Many marketers fail to realize that having access to inadequate, biased, or incomplete data can often lead to unreliable outputs. With AI models, securing high-quality datasets can often become a challenge. It may incur high costs, create roadblocks in AI’s efficiency & reduce the model’s capability.  The third limiting factor is how Generative AI sometimes becomes ineffective in providing factually correct information. For example, if you want AI to provide you with some data-backed information, it often gives incomplete answers. Also, the potential misuse of Generative AI can go a long way as it may create fake news, impersonate individuals, or even generate offensive content which leads to harmful outcomes.   As a result, the idea that AI systems will spontaneously evolve to outsmart humans is highly improbable, given the current limitations and data dependencies of this technology.
