Episode notes
Search Is Becoming AI-Driven
- The traditional Google search model is being replaced by AI-driven overviews that do multiple searches and present consolidated answers.
- This shifts value from raw traffic to impressions and higher-converting visits when users click through.
Adapt By Using AI Daily
- Adapt by actively using AI tools, experimenting, and learning from trends instead of resisting change.
- Start small, play with tools, and iterate quickly to find what delivers customer value.
Start Niches Then Expand Upstream
- Target large markets but begin in a doable niche you can penetrate cheaply and expand from there.
- Prioritize revenue fast; use initial wins to scale services and territory gradually.
