How the semantics of search are changing amid the zero-click era
Briefly

Search marketing is evolving dramatically due to the rise of AI-assisted tools like Google's Overview feature, leading to a phenomenon called 'zero-click search.' This change means users often receive information without clicking through to websites. As a result, marketers are adapting by broadening their skill sets to include AI proficiency and an understanding of shifting consumer behavior. The increase in user adoption of these tools has impacted traditional metrics of success and is forcing practitioners to rethink their digital strategies and engagement methods, reflecting a significant shift in the search landscape.
