AI Search is set to surpass traditional search in three years
I won’t lie: I was kind of surprised when I read Semrush’s article where they predict: “AI search visitors to surpass traditional search visitors in 2028”
That’s fast.
Really fast.
Especially when adjusting to AI search involves:
👉 Changing the type of content you and your agency write from top of funnel to bottom of funnel
👉 Getting your sales, product development and even your executive team more involved with marketing.
👉 Redesigning your website so that it is AI friendly
Adapting to AI search is more than:
❓Reducing SEO expenses
❓Increasing AI search optimization expenses
❓Buying a shiny new AI tool
❓Switching to an “Ai-first” agency

This is a big and complex change because many of the processes and mindsets have been in place for a decade or more.
And that is why I think if you want to respond to how B2B buyers are:
❌ Shifting away from simple keyword searches

✅ Asking their AI tools like ChatGPT to execute dozens of AI searches to answer their questions
Then you need to start now.
