Notice these “AI summaries” on top of Google SERPs? Pretty much not necessary anymore to even bother and visit a website these days — or is it?!
Regardless whether or not you’re smart enough to not trust AI and rather want to see for yourself, I can tell you that — unlike you — most web users out there can real idiots, and will be the ones who “know nothing and will be happy” (pun intended). Rather than thinking for themselves, the majority of web users will read and go with that “AI summary” and not look at what’s behind it at all.
So?
This is really a big deal! It means website owners will have an increasingly hard time to come by any traffic — whether it’s real (or SEO-generated) traffic: it will fall off a cliff — or already is doing so.
That’s what…!
You, the small business owner, the enthusiast, the online marketer, the manager of some cause, or what not, will suffer from that decline in web traffic — big time. Not enough that enthusiasm for browsing the web or surfing from one website to the next is declining anyway (as users are consciously or unwittingly) registering that somehow most websites are feeding them nonsensical or un-interesting content that’s been either only optimized for some perceived SEO benefit or outright been generated by AI — either way, not worth reading.
But even if people were still willing to consume website content like there’s no tomorrow, they’d have a hard time doing so when Google are catching 90-odd percent of them before they’ve even started to go somewhere (other than that notorious Google-Search page)…
Spin it any way you want, it’ll lead to huge losses of your audience. Not only organic visitors but ultimately even paid ones, too!
Why?
Because, as a result of all of the above, PPC cost will be increasing. (It has already started, let me tell you. As an avid user of and expert in paid ads, I kind of know what’s what!)
So that’s it, then?! We’re all doomed — and should scrap our websites and everything?
Not really — but it’ll take some re-thinking marketing approaches and some new strategies to still prevail in that screwed-up new world that’s been triggered by all this AI we didn’t ask for in the first place.
Navigating the changing online-marketing world successfully can still be done: there are a few methods that will work “in 2025 and beyond”, as in with this idotic AI domination left, right and center.
So instead of getting wiped out by AI, think — and think hard (or ask someone who’s doing the thinking for you). Marketing methods need to be re-assessed in light of the changing situation. Intelligent changes need to be made in order to continue prospering with social-media marketing in general.
Getting listed in online directories, amassing positive reviews from customers, and building strong customer relations are some of them.
