\n\t\t\n\t\tFor the longest time, Google Search was the main gateway to the web. But times are changing.

Google still has an effective monopoly on search with a market share of 91.75%<\/a>. But today\u2019s web is far larger and more complex than in the early days of the internet. Unbundling will not pose an existential threat to Google search, but it will divide Google\u2019s hold on the information market to a degree.

At DEPT\u00ae, we believe that the \u201cpost-search\u201d future is fueled by chatbots, generative content, marketplaces, and a rising generation\u2019s unique approach to how they discover, search, and find information.

In this playbook, we reveal three game-changing trends shaping search beyond the traditional search engine. As a marketer or brand, it’s crucial to stay ahead of the curve and adapt to these shifts to grow and maintain a successful online presence moving forward.

Let\u2019s dive in.\u00a0\t<\/p>\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n

\n\t\tMicrosoft Bing, Google Bard, and ChatGPT are ushering in a new era of “conversational” search.\u00a0

Forget typing in keywords and receiving hundreds of links as a result. Search is evolving into a \u201cnatural\u201d conversation between Chatbot and user. AI models like ChatGPT perform various natural language processing tasks, including text classification, question answering, and machine translation.

A conversation-based interface would radically shift users from keyword-based systems like Google. So, what would it mean to replace the click economy and the search bar, with something like a conversation?

It took only a few weeks for Microsoft Bing\u2019s search engine to reach 100 million users. Compare that to other technologies:\t<\/p><\/div><\/div>\n\n

\n\t\tFor years, human beings have been playing a game with rules set by machines. We try to gain insight into what signals search engines value. Then, we attempt to meet those standards so our content and websites rank favorably. There’s no doubt that plenty of talented SEO professionals play this game at an expert level, creating immense value for their companies. But, there are a lot of ways in which machines can play this game better than people.

Artificial intelligence is being used to help individual companies do SEO better and faster because it can analyze patterns in data faster than humans, at scale, and in real time.

AI-powered SEO tools are being deployed today by search pros to do more with less and gain competitive advantages that manual work alone just can’t match. That includes using AI to optimize existing content, suggest new topics to target, and even automate existing SEO tasks.

Thanks to this power to augment and improve AI marketing use cases like SEO, McKinsey analysts writing in Harvard Business Review<\/a> estimate that AI can create $1.4 to $2.6 trillion of value in marketing and sales alone.

There’s no question\u2026 Used correctly, AI can give you SEO superpowers. Here\u2019s how.\u00a0

Massive time and money savings. The information that you can dig out with AI for SEO is also incredibly accurate and up-to-date, which in turn helps boost productivity and inform meaningful business decisions.

Improved user experience and customer satisfaction<\/strong>

The very aim of all AI tools is to provide a user experience that is as relevant, useful, and personalized as possible. In a nutshell: AI is there to make your life (and your users\u2019 lives) better. And what happens if you manage to make your clients\u2019 lives better by providing hyper-personalized services and products? They will come back for more and spread the word about how great your brand is.

Higher rankings<\/strong>

Last but not least: with an AI-powered SEO strategy, you can aim for the stars. Meaning you can reach higher SERP rankings today and in the future.
