Did you know that for every 18 pages Google scrapes from content publishers today, they now send back just one visit—down from two pages per visit a decade ago?
Kieran dives into the “great content collapse” and what the changing landscape of AI-powered search means for the future of marketing and growth. Learn more on how Google and OpenAI are upending the traditional value exchange of content, why paid advertising costs are set to skyrocket, and what new playbooks marketers need as AI transforms how consumers find information online.
