Are brands prepared for the shift from Google search to AI answers
I’ve been thinking about how quickly the way people find information is changing. A few years ago, most businesses focused mainly on ranking higher on search engines, getting clicks, and improving traffic. But now many people are asking AI assistants for recommendations, comparisons, and quick answers instead of browsing through multiple pages.
This makes me wonder if brands are paying enough attention to how they appear inside AI-generated answers. A company might have great content and strong SEO, but if AI tools don’t mention it when users ask relevant questions, does that create a new kind of visibility problem?
How are businesses adapting to this change? Are you already working on improving your presence in AI answers, or do you think traditional SEO is still enough for the future?
