and any Businesses Relying on SEO and Ads Could Be Left Behind.
SYDNEY - iSportsWire -- Google, once the undisputed gateway to the internet, is losing its monopoly on search behaviour and most business owners don't even realise it.
Google has been so dominant in search that its closest competitor isn't even a traditional search engine. Its closest competitor is Youtube, also owned by Google. That cushy reign at the top however, appears to be at risk of disruption.
The rise of AI tools like ChatGPT is changing how people find answers. And when people stop Googling, they stop clicking ads. They stop discovering your blog. They stop visiting your site altogether. That is, if Google is your traffic source.
For businesses relying only on Google Ads or SEO, the danger is clear: you're building on land you don't own, and the land is eroding.
The data behind the shift

Let's talk facts:
This isn't a future problem. It's a now problem.
When users get the answer straight from AI, they don't need to click your link. They don't see your ad. They don't read your homepage.
In other words: SEO and Google Ads are still alive, but they're no longer the undisputed champ of attention. And relying solely on either is now a big risk.
The future Is multi-channel or nothing
This isn't about panic. It's about positioning. Google isn't dead but it's no longer enough.

Smart businesses have already diversified their acquisition strategies to own more of the journey, rather than rent space on someone else's platform.
So, Should You Still Invest in SEO or Google Ads?
Yes, but with your eyes open.
And if your entire business relies on one channel in 2025?
You're not just under-optimised — you're exposed.
Final Take
What made Google powerful was predictability. That's gone.
What makes AI powerful is personalisation, immediacy, and control. That's where your audience is going.
The businesses who win won't be the ones who spend more on Google.
They'll be the ones who meet customers where they actually are — across platforms, formats, and devices.
If you're a business still leaning on one channel to grow — now is the time to diversify, before you're forced to.
