With the rise of generative AI, the traditional role of search engines is being challenged as advanced AI-powered chatbots provide users with new methods of obtaining information.

Brands and publishers are facing an increasingly complex SEO landscape, adjusting to significant changes. Search engines are no longer the dominant gateway to knowledge and discovery. More and more, individuals are seeking information on platforms like YouTube, TikTok, and Instagram—reshaping how content is both discovered and consumed.
