The Future of Being Found: How AI Search and ChatGPT Ads are Changing How Customers Choose a Business
Customers now ask AI for recommendations, and ads are arriving in those conversations. What it means for how businesses get found and chosen. A few years ago, the question a business owner asked was, "How do I rank on Google?" It came with a clear picture: a list of ten blue links, and a fight to be near the top. That picture is fading. More people now ask a question in plain language and get a single written answer, with a short list of recommendations folded in. Someone asks ChatGPT for a good family dentist, asks Perplexity how to choose a roofer, or reads the AI Overview that sits above the links in Google. Often they never click through to anything. That is an odd thing to sit with if you have spent years building a reputation. The customer is still choosing, but a new intermediary is shaping the choice. Two things are happening at once: AI systems are deciding whom to mention, and advertising is arriving inside the conversation.
