Search Engine Optimization (SEO) became gospel with keywords, backlinks, meta tags and content calendars ruled the marketing universe. But something is shifting. Quietly at first, now rapidly: users are skipping search engines altogether. Instead of Googling, people are asking ChatGPT, Copilot, Gemini, and other AI assistants for direct answers.
