Challenges in Customer Acquisition

Many businesses are currently facing significant difficulties in acquiring customers, primarily due to shifts in how customers now discover and trust brands. The impact of AI on traditional search and marketing tactics has left many brands struggling to gain visibility and trust in a crowded marketplace.
