Why Organic Reach Is Getting Harder To Achieve

Why Google Search Is Falling Apart

There was a time when Google Search was basically the front page of the internet. Want to fix your faucet? Google it. Need a rug size guide? Google had your back. But lately, something’s shifting, and it’s not just the layout.

Over the last couple of years, Google’s been quietly rolling out big changes, many of them powered by generative AI. At the heart of it is ā€œAI Overviews,ā€ a feature that now answers your question right at the top of the page. No more digging through blogs, no more listicles. Just the answer. Sort of.

This didn’t happen overnight. Back in 2021, some Googlers actually pitched a chatbot-style search experience. Leadership passed, worried it would mess with their ad business. Then ChatGPT dropped. Built on Google’s own transformer tech, it basically did what Google was afraid to do; answer questions cleanly, with no ads, no mess. And users loved it.

Fast-forward to today, and it’s clear that ChatGPT lit a fire. Google’s moved over 1,000 engineers to focus on AI search features, launched a full-blown ā€œAI Mode,ā€ and put longtime Googler Elizabeth Reid in charge of transforming its core product. Now, search is evolving into something more conversational, more visual, and in Google’s own words, more ā€œever-present.ā€ You’re not just searching, you’re chatting with an all-knowing assistant.

But here’s where it gets tricky: the web kind of runs on Google. And if Google stops sending traffic out to blogs, media sites, online stores - that entire ecosystem starts wobbling. Publishers are already seeing traffic drops, some feeling like they’re being ghosted by the algorithm. Their content shows up in AI answers, but users never click through. Google gets smarter, and smaller sites pay the price.

The weird part is that while AI makes everything feel faster and more convenient, it also risks flattening the internet into something kind of bland and recycled. What happens to the bloggers, reviewers, and niche experts when the AI summarises their work and keeps the traffic?

Google says it’s working on it. It’s hosting meetings with content creators, trying to find middle ground. But one message stood out - don’t expect traffic to bounce back. Search has changed, and it’s not going back.

This is one of those moments where the internet is clearly shifting under our feet. As marketers, it’s worth watching not just how people search, but how they find. The biggest battles aren’t about rankings anymore - they’re about visibility in a world where your audience might never leave the results page.

KILLER MARKETING PROMPT

AI-powered search engines like ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Gemini are reshaping how people discover content. They summarise pages, remix snippets, and rarely send traffic unless your content is clear, credible, and structured right.

This prompt helps you optimise your website for visibility and usefulness in AI-generated answers, not just rankings. Use it to refine your messaging, boost authority signals, and make your site easier for AI to surface (and trust).

Prompt:

You are an AI search optimization strategist and website content expert. Your goal is to help me make my website more visible, scannable, and valuable to AI-powered search engines like ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Gemini.

Use the info below to generate strategic content improvements, structure suggestions, and guidance for formatting — all designed to make it easier for AI to understand, summarize, and feature our content in relevant queries.

Website URL (optional): [insert site or relevant page link]
Industry/Niche: [insert your space — e.g. DTC skincare, B2B SaaS, interior design]
Target Audience: [describe your typical user/customer]
Core Pages to Focus On: [e.g. homepage, product pages, blog posts]
Brand Voice: [e.g. expert, conversational, playful, premium]
Primary Goal: [e.g. get cited in AI responses, increase visibility in AI summaries, reduce bounce rates from AI traffic]

For output, include:
– On-page content improvements (for clarity + context)
– Schema/structured data suggestions
– Opportunities to add helpful content (e.g. definitions, how-tos, product specs)
– Suggestions to improve summarizability (intro paragraphs, clear headings, concise copy)
– Authority-building ideas (testimonials, credentials, internal links, etc.)
– Any missed semantic keywords or context clues AI might look for
– Formatting/UX tips to help AI parse content more effectively
– Bonus: How to increase chances of being cited or linked by AI search tools

Prioritize readability, context clarity, and trust-building signals. Assume the AI is trying to explain our brand to someone else — how do we make that job easier?

ONE QUICK AI HACK

Set It and Forget It on ChatGPT

You’re probably not using ChatGPT’s memory to its full potential.

Here’s how to actually train it to remember specific preferences—so you can get faster, better responses, every time.

Want it to always reply in a certain style?
Or follow a rule for one specific type of prompt?
Just copy and paste this:

To update memory, prompt:

## MEMORY_WRITE
Fact: ā€œ[what you want exactly]ā€
Purpose: ā€œ[in which context you need it]ā€
## END

– To Erase The Memory, prompt

Forget the following instruction stored in your memory:

## instructions to delete

## MEMORY_WRITE
Fact: ā€œ[what you want exactly]ā€
Purpose: ā€œ[in which context you need it]ā€
## END
