Are We Still Marketing to Humans?

You Google a question your buyer asks all the time. Instead of ten blue links, you get an AI Overview with a tidy paragraph and a few citations. You try the same query in ChatGPT or Perplexity and watch another neat summary appear. If your brand is lucky enough to be mentioned, it’s usually one…
