New optimization capabilities and NIQ’s CONTENT Framework help brands strengthen product visibility, relevance, and performance across retail and AI-powered shopping channels

NielsenIQ (NYSE:NIQ)today announced new optimization capabilities for its Shopper Experience Platform, supported by its CONTENT Framework, a seven-pillar approach to evaluating and improving product content. Together, they enable brands to evaluate product content and imagery against retailer requirements and category expectations, identify gaps, and prioritize improvements that strengthen product discovery across retailer sites, search engines, and AI-powered shopping channels.

A product can be accurate, complete, and retailer-compliant yet still be difficult for shoppers to find, understand, or choose. This challenge is growing as AI assistants, retailer algorithms, and recommendation engines play a larger role in shopping. According to NIQ's Consumer Outlook: Guide to 2027, 55% of global consumers report having been influenced by AI tools or assistants when making household and grocery purchases, while 65% report being influenced by products recommended or ranked on retailer and shopping platforms.

As a result, brands need content that is not only accurate and compliant but structured to help shoppers and the technologies influencing their decisions discover, evaluate, and differentiate products.
