Is ChatGPT sending you the wrong customers?

Some insight from the latest batch of free store audits we just completed: ChatGPT relies heavily on your blog content. But there’s a catch. If your blog lacks focus, your AI traffic will too.

Imagine a pet toy store that writes a broad, generic post about "local dog-walking clubs." Suddenly, ChatGPT starts sending them thousands of people searching for... parks to walk their dogs.

Right niche, but completely wrong direction. (And zero toy sales).

  • If you’re waiting on your audit, please check your spam folder for your results and video walkthrough. If it’s MIA, shoot an email to [email protected].

88% resolved. 22% stayed loyal. What went wrong?

That's the AI paradox hiding in your CX stack. Tickets close. Customers leave. And most teams don't see it coming because they're measuring the wrong things.

Efficiency metrics look great on paper. Handle time down. Containment rate up. But customer loyalty? That's a different story — and it's one your current dashboards probably aren't telling you.

Gladly's 2026 Customer Expectations Report surveyed thousands of real consumers to find out exactly where AI-powered service breaks trust, and what separates the platforms that drive retention from the ones that quietly erode it.

If you're architecting the CX stack, this is the data you need to build it right. Not just fast. Not just cheap. Built to last.

Famadillo is looking for Easter Finds

Query:

We’re currently accepting product submissions for our upcoming Easter Finds feature. From creative basket stuffers and festive treats to playful décor, springtime toys, and entertaining essentials, we’re looking for standout items that capture the fun and color of the season. Brands are invited to send samples for hands-on testing and editorial consideration as we round up the most delightful Easter discoveries for families and holiday hosts.

Emily Reviews is looking for Easter Gift Guide For All Ages

Query:

Easter will be here before we know it! At Emily Reviews, we're preparing three Easter gift guides. One will be an Easter gift guide covering babies and little kids. A second will be teenagers, and the last will be for adults. Most of our readers are women ages 25-44 with at least one child, and most of them are the primary shopper in their household. There is no fee to participate in our gift guide. Instead, we look to work with brands or businesses who are interested in sending product samples. In some cases, we'll do full reviews of products. In other cases, we simply accept the product sample in exchange for a featured post. All brands who participate in our gift guide will have the option to host a giveaway for our readers if they'd like. We're interested in featuring a wide range of Easter gift ideas. Some families like to stick with stereotypical Easter items such as bunny-themed toys or art supplies, candies or other edible treats. Others use the holiday to celebrate the individual and will gift them a video game, toy, piece of jewelry, or other gift that is less Easter-themed but still would make for a happy Easter for the recipient! We're open to working with brands who make anything that might be used as an Easter gift from babies through adults. We look forward to hearing from you.
