Branded Conversations: put your product knowledge into Alexa shopping chats (US, Jan 2027)
Who it hits
Brand-registered US catalogs with clear product facts. Anyone already using Alexa / Rufus-era shopping surfaces. Compliance teams that police claims.
What to do this week
Build a locked facts list (materials, sizes, warranty, what you will never claim) before January 2027. Do not feed conversational ads copy that your listing bullets cannot support. Watch Ads Console for enrollment when it opens.
Operator take
Conversational shopping will repeat whatever you feed it. Hallucinated “Amazon’s Choice,” medical miracles, or warranty language you do not honor become Account Health and ads policy problems. Same discipline as listing copy: facts first, model second. Related: listing copy prompts.
Before January
- Lock a product facts sheet per hero ASIN (attributes, exclusions, support URL).
- Strip claims your legal / brand team will not defend in a chat transcript.
- Assign an owner who can update the knowledge file when SKUs change.
