Why AI Search Is Replacing Google and Traditional SEO

AI search replaces traditional search by delivering direct answers instead of lists of links. Users increasingly prefer asking ChatGPT-style tools what to buy, how to solve problems, and which brands to trust.

This reduces website traffic and disrupts keyword-based SEO strategies.
