Google AI Mode Prices Differ From Product Carousel For Same Items
Google’s AI Mode rarely overlaps with the Popular products carousel in search results, showing just 1.28% product overlap daily. When the same product appears, the first-listed seller differs 49.6% of the time, with AI Mode showing higher prices 68.4% of the time. AI Mode displays fewer products (3.9 vs. 27.8 average). Google disputes the findings, stating all results use the Shopping Graph. This matters because AI Mode can showcase competitors first. Merchants should manually compare their products across both result types.
