Optimixed Overview

Optimixed's original report on this story.

PPC Land reports that accepting new terms sends a store's product catalog to Microsoft Merchant Center, putting those products into Copilot and Bing. The piece notes that agent tracking covers only Google, OpenAI and Anthropic, and raises open questions about which merchants qualify and what the program costs.
