Three ways we search and what you need to do to be found
Search has changed. And for small business owners, charities and marketers trying to stay ahead of the curve, it can feel like you’re constantly playing catch up.
Are people still Googling things? Yes. Are they searching TikTok instead? Also yes. Are they asking ChatGPT to find the best gift for under £20 or a safe way to stop their smoke alarm from beeping? (True story: mine wouldn't stop until ChatGPT suggested hoovering it. Magic.) Absolutely.
So, what does this mean for your business?

Don’t let AI replace your marketing efforts!

I’ve blogged some of my experiences so far in my AI journey, and other elements businesses should consider.
