🤖 AI Is Killing Google Search: What It Means for Creators & Businesses

By Gulam Sibtain | June 20, 2025


Google Search has ruled the internet for over two decades. But now, in 2025, a new threat has emerged — AI search agents like ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Gemini are slowly pulling users away from traditional search engines. What does this mean for creators, businesses, and bloggers like us? Let's break it down.

🔍 What's Really Happening?

In the last 12 months, users have increasingly turned to AI tools to get direct answers instead of visiting websites through Google. These tools summarize content, provide opinions, and even link directly to sources — skipping the need to “Google” anything.

  • 📉 Google’s search traffic is down by 5-8% in some key markets
  • 🧠 Tools like ChatGPT with web browsing & Perplexity AI give faster, cleaner answers
  • 📢 More users prefer “zero-click results” — no need to visit other sites

🚨 Why This Is a Problem for Website Owners

Bloggers, SEO experts, and online businesses depend on Google traffic. But now, if AI tools answer user questions directly, people never reach your site.

“If AI gives people answers without links, what happens to the websites that made those answers possible?”

Here’s what’s at stake:

  • 🧾 Lower organic traffic = lower ad revenue
  • 💼 Fewer affiliate link clicks
  • 📉 Drop in domain authority & SEO visibility

⚙️ What Companies Are Doing About It

Google has launched its own AI Search Experience (SGE), but adoption is slow. Meanwhile:

  • Perplexity AI is signing exclusive partnerships with publishers
  • ChatGPT now includes source links in browsing mode
  • Reddit, News Corp and others are monetizing their data via licensing deals

✅ What Bloggers & Creators Should Do Now

  1. Focus on branding: Become a source, not just a website
  2. Publish long-form, original content: AI values depth
  3. Use schema markup: Help AI tools recognize & credit your work
  4. Explore AI-friendly platforms: Like Perplexity & Bing AI

🧠 Final Thoughts

AI isn’t the end of search — but it is changing the rules. If you’re a blogger, marketer, or business owner, now’s the time to rethink your strategy. Embrace AI tools, optimize for new discovery methods, and focus on becoming an authority your audience trusts — not just a traffic number.
