Location: London
With relentless discounting cutting into profits, it’s essential for retailers to find new and innovative ways to differentiate themselves from the competition. However, it can be a challenge to find solutions that actually make a difference. Enter AI-powered pricing.

Visibility in the AI era: Are you keeping up with the new search landscape?
Search is no longer just about ranking on Google. AI-led discovery and social search are reshaping how customers find and interact with brands, and the traditional model of search is fragmenting faster than ever. With Google seeing a decline in search impressions while AI agents and social platforms take centre stage, retailers must rethink their digital strategies to stay visible.
In this exclusive webinar, Retail Gazette and Yext bring together industry experts to explore the seismic shifts in search and what brands must do to thrive in this AI-driven future.
We’ll discuss:
- The rise of AI and social search – How platforms like ChatGPT, TikTok, and emerging AI agents are disrupting traditional search patterns.
- The shift from explore to exploit – Why customers are searching across multiple platforms but still returning to Google to take action (for now).
- Future-proofing your brand’s visibility – How to optimise digital touchpoints with structured data, algorithmic trust, and AI-ready content to dominate the new search landscape.
