Google At Risk | ChatGPT Search | SEO | Lead Generation

Google has long been the go-to search engine for users worldwide, but its dominance is now facing a significant threat with the introduction of ChatGPT Search by OpenAI on October 31st, 2024. This new search platform provides users with concise answers to their queries, offering a unique and preferred user experience. In response to this shift, major tech giants such as Google, Microsoft, Meta, and Apple are pivoting their platforms towards generative engines and LLM Technology.

ChatGPT has significantly improved its web search capabilities since its initial launch in 2022. It delivers fast and relevant answers sourced from the web, emphasizing the need for SEO experts to adjust data structures to cater to both Google's requirements and emerging platforms like ChatGPT. As Hema Dey, CEO of Iffel International and Director of SEO2Sales^TM puts it, "It is gloves off with Google and Microsoft, albeit Microsoft's substantial investment in OpenAI over the past two years."
