I also take a look at how to deal with the coming changes!

Big thanks to the @searchengineland.bsky.social & @semrushofficial.bsky.social teams for helping me put this monster of a piece together

🚩 The hype will decrease, and that will lead to a decreased ability for Google to drive stock prices with AI announcements - that means models need to earn cash.

🚩 LLMs will become less summative and more explorative (particularly AI Mode).

But wait, there's more. Because it's not a history lesson, it's set up for the AI market corrections that I definitely think are coming:

Basically, if you want to know how we ended up in the current LLM ecosystem that we're in (spoiler: it was Google feeling inferior to Bing & then a lot of stock chasing)... this article is for you.

@mordyoberstein.bsky.social shared this in a FanDuel vs. DraftKings analysis.

FanDuel had neutral, expected questions.

DraftKings had negative ones like:
“Do they pay out?”
“Should I trust them?”

That tone likely reflects repeated user sentiment across public content

Does that mean LLMs are not a valuable commodity to leverage? Heck no!

But I think having a conversation about what LLMs are (in this case, a mainly top-of-the-funnel sort of asset) is a huge part of being able to make the adjustments we are constantly being asked to make!

You see this in every data study that says folks verify what the LLMs spit back. If we're saying there's verification after the LLM interaction, then we're also saying they are more top-of-funnel than anything.

Someone Googles something, hits your website, & there is at least a chance you could push them through your funnel.

LLMs aren't that. I was talking about this in the @semrushofficial.bsky.social Ambassador group & w. the great Crystal Carter....

LLMs, are not fundamentally a conversion channel.

Nothing could go wrong here

It is 100% not about spend. My experience is that when brands get caught up in spend it doesn't end well long-term. I think some of the new AI tracking tools should scale back some of that spend mentality.
