The SEO industry is shaking.
AI and ChatGPT is still the main disruptor. We are all concerned about the potential outcome it will cause to organic traffic.
There is uncertainty if AI content could take over Google's organic results.
And Bing ChatGPT integration forced Google to speed up the launch of their AI Chatbot ‘Bard’
AI is already here, and despite the hype, do not panic.
Multiple reports show how Bing’s new ChatGPT is far from perfect.
Google AI chatbot Bard's fiasco wiped out a hundred billion dollars of their stock value.
This translates to panic within the company. And after such a significant financial effect from one bad presentation, Google will be far more cautious.
Google also will face another giant roadblock after implementing Bard.
If they do not include sources like Bing does, they can expect an avalanche of class-action lawsuits.
They already have troubles with the US Department of Justice and eight US states which filed a lawsuit against Google’s advertising business.
All these macro processes will take time. We could have 12-18 months before there are significant changes in how people search for information.
Here are the measures you can take in the meantime.
