Most businesses still think SEO is the answer—when in reality, it’s already dead.
💡 The Brutal Truth
For the last 20 years, Google has controlled everything.
Every business, every marketer, every content creator had to play by their rules.
- Want to rank? Follow their algorithm.
- Want traffic? Pay for ads.
- Want visibility? Pray you don’t get hit by an update.
But 2024 changed everything.
- ChatGPT, Perplexity, and AI-powered search are eating Google alive.
- More people are getting answers straight from AI—without clicking a single website.
- The days of keyword stuffing and backlink chasing are over.
And Google knows it. That’s why:
✅ They’re cramming AI into search results (aka, "AI Overviews").
✅ They’re panicking about falling ad revenue.
✅ They’re trying to survive in a world where they’re no longer needed.
The internet is shifting. If your business relies on Google for traffic, you have less than 12 months to adapt before you're invisible.
🚨 What This Means for You
1️⃣ SEO is no longer your #1 traffic strategy—own your audience instead.
- Email > SEO.
- Communities > Social Media.
- Direct response > Waiting for Google scraps.
2️⃣ AI-powered content beats SEO content—Google wants “helpful content”? AI writes it better, faster, and for free.
3️⃣ The businesses that adapt will print money. Those that don’t? Irrelevant.
🔥 So What’s the Next Move?
- Build a brand, not just a website.
- Focus on owned distribution (email, Telegram, Twitter, Substack).
- Use AI the right way—not just for SEO but for audience engagement.
Google ruled the internet for 20+ years.
That era is over.
The only question is: Will you be one of the businesses that survive?
