Open Google today and it's impossible to miss: AI Overviews now sit above traditional results, pushing websites, ads, and maps further down the page.
At the same time, more people are skipping Google entirely and going straight to ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Gemini for answers.
This isn't a test. It's the new reality of search — and the greatest opportunity for marketers since Google began.
AI results are replacing search results. Be there first.
