Will you lead or lag?

As the AI adoption curve accelerates, SearchPulse reveals we are on the cusp of a significant transformation in how people search.

While early adopters are already leveraging AI, including AI SEO tools, for a competitive advantage, and the early majority is preparing to follow.

What is currently optional for some brands is rapidly becoming essential for maintaining online visibility and relevance.

The next phase of AI adoption will separate industry leaders from those struggling to keep up. What is optional today will soon become essential, and businesses and SEO agencies that act now will set the pace, while others risk being left behind.

"We're seeing a real change in the way people search, and a real change in the way search results are presented too - not only are AI platforms becoming more common in day-to-day use with the general public, but traditional search engines too, are being forced to evolve in the race to provide the best answer in a world where people's expectations of a search result are ever-higher."

Search is Changing.
Here’s Why It Matters.

We created SearchPulse to uncover how AI is reshaping search, because staying ahead of these changes isn’t optional, it’s essential.

The way people search for information online is evolving constantly. Traditional keyword searches are giving way to conversational queries, voice search and AI tools like chatbots and virtual assistants, with LLM optimisations on the rise. With AI becoming a core part of search, we want to know if and how consumer behaviour is shifting. In this day and age, answer engine optimisation (AEO) and generative engine optimisation (GEO) are topics that you need to know about, as well as what the best AI tools for SEO are.

Understanding these changes are crucial for businesses who want to stay ahead. Consumer search behaviour directly impacts marketing strategies, content creation and digital visibility. Brands that fail to adapt risk losing relevance in this changing world.
