Amazon appeared consistently across ChatGPT, Google Gemini, AI Mode and AI Overviews in the US and UK, according to findings from Semrush’s 2026 AI Visibility Index reported by Benzinga. Walmart made the index’s US-only group, alongside several other retailers.
Why it mattersThat offers a concrete snapshot of which retailers show up across major AI platforms. But the index counts domain mentions, not necessarily recommendations, clicks or purchases. Being in the answer is not quite the same as winning the sale, inconveniently for anyone hoping for a tidy leaderboard.
Discuss: Should retailers treat visibility in AI answers as a meaningful competitive advantage before there’s evidence it brings in traffic or sales?
