Google holds roughly 90% of the global search engine market. But AI is starting to change what happens before a user gets there.
More consumers are using AI search tools to research, compare and discover brands and products. By the time they turn to Google, they're searching with higher intent with a clearer idea of what they're looking for.
For brands, that means thinking beyond traditional search and considering the kind of content that helps them show up during the earlier stages of discovery.
Blogs, FAQs, testimonials and reviews give AI tools useful information to draw from, while also helping build the authority and relevance that supports your wider search presence.
AI Search is adding another step into the buying journey whilst giving brands another opportunity to get on the radar before a high intent Google search happens.
