Google AI Mode Prices Differ From Product Carousel For Same Items
Data from Productrise indicates that Google's AI-generated search results rarely display the same products as the traditional 'Popular products' carousel. Furthermore, when the same products do appear, the pricing and seller rankings often differ significantly between the two formats.
