Since starting Zellus in 2012, we have been able to work with some amazing companies. We now have the honor of writing for the Forbes Business Council. We are grateful to continue our journey as a trustworthy and reliable marketing company and will not take this opportunity for granted. We will continue to be at the forefront of researching new marketing trends and industry-shaking technological advancements like AI and ChatGPT. Our very first article for the Forbes Business Council has been released, and we are here to tell you that it is time to pay attention to AI and the influence it has on our beloved search engine, Google.
The Future Of Search
Being the owner of an SEO agency for over a decade, I can confidently say that the search industry is shifting gears. We have all become used to using Google to type in a search query and scroll through results in hopes of finding what we are looking for. With the release of tools like ChatGPT in November 2022, people are starting to prefer the “ask” experience rather than the “search” experience.
Why would you need to search a topic and scroll through the results page to find your answer when you can just use an AI generative experience to ask your question and get an immediate answer? Chat GPT provides faster solutions to people’s questions than Google currently. However, Google’s AI “Bard” provides a similar system to Chat GPT and will still reference high-ranking websites.
So, for now, SEO is not dead, but optimizing strategies for the “ask” rather than “search” experience will be crucial. I dive deeper into the details in the article written for the Forbes Business Council. We will continue to provide updates on marketing trends and AI advancements.
