# ChatGPT tests green and gray labels on product results

## The short answer

ChatGPT is testing labels on its product results that describe each product, such as best all-rounder, best for beginners and best cushioning. Brodie Clark spotted a green label for the best all-rounder and gray labels for other criteria. OpenAI has made no statement and the sources give no rollout details, so this is an observed test.

## Key takeaways

- ChatGPT is testing labels appended to product results that add information about the product, such as best all-rounder, best for beginners and best cushioning.
- The test shows a green label for the best all-rounder product and gray labels for the best product on other criteria.
- Brodie Clark spotted it and posted about it on X and in his notes, and SERP Alerts posted it too.
- OpenAI has made no statement and the sources give no rollout information, so this is an observed test and not a launch.

ChatGPT is testing labels on its product results that say what each product is best for. Barry
Schwartz reported it at Search Engine Roundtable on 6 October 2026.

## What do the new labels show?

Schwartz says the labels are appended to the product results and add information about the product
being displayed. His examples are "best all-rounder", "best for beginners" and "best cushioning".
He adds that the labels can be shown in green and gray highlights, which make them stand out.

## Who spotted it?

Brodie Clark spotted the test. He posted about it on X, and SERP Alerts posted it as well. We
could not open the X post, so we only note where it appeared.

Clark's notes page, dated 6 October 2026, describes it as a new variation of the labels that can be
displayed for organic products in ChatGPT's results. It expands on the original version: a green
label marks the best all-rounder product, and additional gray labels mark the best product for
different criteria.

## Why might it matter?

Schwartz says this should help with click-through rates on these products. That is his opinion, and
neither source offers click data. The labels name a product's strength in short words, so a product
that earns one could stand out beside its neighbors.

## What is not known?

OpenAI has made no statement about the test, and neither source gives rollout information. Whether
the labels will ship, to whom, and how a product is chosen for each label is not documented.

## What can you do?

Nothing documented controls the labels. The sources describe no markup, feed field or setting for
them, so there is nothing to opt in to or out of. You can look for them on your own product
queries in ChatGPT and note which labels your products get. For the structured data that product
pages already depend on, the [Product snippet schema checker](/tools/product-snippet-schema-checker)
tests your markup. For related shopping changes, see
