一句话看懂
Google AI Mode shows the same products 21.6% more expensive than traditional search, per a 23-day.
The study suggests AI Mode may prioritize pricier listings, raising concerns for shoppers.
背景
Productrise, an e-commerce SEO company, tracked over 2 million product listings across more than 100,000 searches from August 9 to 31, 2026. They compared identical products appearing in both Google AI Mode and traditional search on the same day. The study found that AI Mode consistently displayed higher prices, with matched products averaging 21.6% more expensive, and across all listings, AI Mode's median price was 49% higher ($149 vs $100). This has sparked discussion about how AI-driven shopping may not prioritize the best deals.
