Why AI can’t run PPC for you (yet) πŸ€–

AI can do a lot of amazing things, but should you hand it the keys to run your entire PPC budget? πŸ—οΈ

Not quite yet.

While Google Ads now has some brilliant AI features, it still lacks context. Without a human co-pilot, AI will...

❌ Spend your budget on irrelevant search terms.
❌ Write ad copy that doesn't sound like your brand.
❌ Try to improve ads with random text from your website.

We’re all for using AI to speed things up, but Google Ads needs a human touch to make sure your campaigns are relevant for your brand and actually turning clicks into profit. πŸ“ˆ

Read our latest blog to make sure you're using AI to you advanatge in Google Ads.

This is scary, we are now the minority on the web πŸ€–

Bot traffic has now officially surpassed human activity, accounting for over 51% of all web traffic!!!

What is the cause...

πŸ’₯ The AI Boom:
Traffic from AI agents and bots has exploded, growing nearly 8,000% in 2025 alone.

πŸ“‹ The Breakdown:
While good bots like search engine crawlers handle most searches, 37% of all traffic is still driven by bad bots, such as data scrapers and fraudsters.

πŸ“ˆ The Change:
Automated traffic is currently growing 8 times faster than human traffic.

With AI-driven search dominating, the internet looks very different from what it did even a year ago.

Want to make sure your business is ready for the world of AI search? Speak to our team today and get ahead of your competitors
