Is Google Search Dead? Part 2: The Key to Thriving In a Multichannel, AI-Driven World

By Amy Juers
March 31, 2025

Part Two of a Two-Part Article

Part One of this two-part article series explored how AI is fundamentally reshaping Google Search and SEO. AI-driven platforms like ChatGPT and Gemini are steering us toward a world of “zero-click searches,” where users get direct answers from AI instead of traditional search results. It discussed why relying solely on Google Search is no longer enough and how firms must adapt to stay visible and build trust in this new era.
Part Two examines practical steps marketers must take to succeed in this changing landscape by embracing a multichannel, AI-driven approach to their marketing and PR efforts. This means rethinking your strategy to build direct connections with your audience, using platforms that elevate your visibility and focusing on storytelling that resonates.

Invest in Owned Media

In a world where algorithms are constantly changing, the most valuable audience is the one you own. Websites, blogs, podcasts, and most importantly email newsletters are your direct lines to clients. These platforms don’t rely on the whims of search algorithms or social media feeds, which means you have full control over your content and how you connect with your audience.
Among these, email is your secret weapon. Think about it. Who truly owns their Google rankings or Instagram algorithms? No one. But an email list? That’s yours. It’s personal, direct and entirely in your control. Not only are email campaigns still one of the highest-performing digital marketing strategies, but they also offer a sustainable way to maintain relationships with your audience, no matter what happens to algorithms or platforms tomorrow.
Takeaway: Build and nurture your owned media so you’re not dependent on platforms you can’t control. Start with an email-first philosophy to ensure your brand always has a direct channel to its audience.
