It's for a Website and SEO/GEO/AIO

OpenAI just announced they're testing ads in ChatGPT starting in the coming weeks (US first, then expanding globally). Here's why this matters for your AEO strategy: ✅ New advertising real estate at the bottom of ChatGPT responses ✅ Ads triggered by conversational context (not just keywords) ✅ Conversational ad formats coming - users can ask questions directly within ads ✅ Leveling the playing field for small businesses and emerging brands The Opportunity: Smart businesses should start thinking about PAID AI visibility too. This opens up a completely new channel for reaching people at the exact moment they're seeking solutions. What to watch: - How contextual targeting works in conversational AI - What "relevant sponsored products" means for your niche - Early mover advantages as the platform develops The businesses that understand both organic AND paid AI visibility will dominate in 2026.

For the first time in 25 years, consumers aren’t choosing a search engine… they’re choosing an assistant. Atlas. Comet. Perplexity. Gemini. Copilot. Even Apple’s about to enter the chat. And here’s the quiet shift almost no one is talking about: We’re moving from Browser → Search → Results to Surface → AI → Answer. Traditional search isn’t disappearing — it’s just moving upstream where users never see it. Google knows this. That’s why the homepage is slowly steering toward AI-first by default. The “two-lane highway” (classic search vs AI mode) won’t last. In a year or two, we won’t ask: “Which search engine do you use?” We’ll ask: “Which AI do you trust to interpret the internet for you?” That’s the battleground now. And the real optimization shift isn’t ranking → referencing. It’s ranking → being ingested. The brands that understand that won’t just survive this transition — they’ll shape it. What do you think — are we ready for an AI-first internet, or are we clinging to the last stage of the old era?
