AI search is rewriting the rules. Tools like ChatGPT, Gemini, Google AI Overviews, DeepSeek, Grok, and Claude are now answering people's questions before they ever click a link. Here's what's happening:
- 34% fewer clicksare coming to websites because AI gives the answer directly.
- Your potential customers? They're getting the info from AI, not from you.
How This Hurts Your Business:
- Healthcare:Patients trust an AI's answer over visiting your site.
- Finance:Investors get advice that never even mentions you.
- SaaS:AI compares your product to others without you in the room.
- E-commerce:Shoppers get buying guides from AI, and you lose the sale.
If you're still playing by old SEO rules, it's time to update for Machine Learning. Your competitors are already becoming the trusted sources AI pulls from. If you want to win, you need a new strategy, one that makes AI choose you as the answer.
