Search has changed.

Consumers no longer rely solely on Google to find what they want: they now turn to ChatGPT, Perplexity, YouTube, TikTok, LinkedIn, and niche communities to find answers, compare solutions, and make decisions.

From a marketing perspective, getting visitors onto your website is just half the battle when it comes to SEO. The other half, from a business perspective, is making sure that those organic visitors turn into paying customers or qualified leads.

By doing just this, my team at The Search Initiative tripled our client’s organic traffic from 15,919 to 47,256 sessions per month since the start of the campaign. Read more »
