Event Description

Walmart's discovery layer is being rewritten by AI - and most brands are still optimizing for a search environment that no longer exists. In this session, Sellcord's experts break down exactly how Walmart's Sparky, OmniSpec 5, and LLM-driven shopping are changing the rules for product visibility, and walk through the specific content and attribution strategies brands need to win shelf presence in 2026. Attendees will leave with a clear, actionable framework for auditing and upgrading their listings to perform across both traditional search and the emerging AI-driven discovery stack.

BWG Connect & Sellcord invite you to join an interactive event with industry peers to review & discuss practical insights across the digital space.

As always, there will be no sales pitch and all attendees are welcome to listen and learn.

Discussion Topics

  • How Walmart's AI-powered search (Sparky), autocomplete, and LLM-driven discovery are reshaping how products get found - and what brands must do differently right now
  • Why 37%+ of Walmart's affiliate traffic now comes from ChatGPT and external LLMs, and what that means for how you write, structure, and attribute your listings
  • The OmniSpec 5 shift: how filling in back-end product attributes and structured data is now the single highest-leverage action for discoverability
  • How to write listing content that wins for two audiences simultaneously - the traditional Walmart search bar and AI shopping agents like Sparky
  • What a catalog-wide content optimization framework looks like in 2026
