🪦 RIP Google Searches

is it over?

For anyone who got hit by HCU, it’s felt like Google Search was officially over a while ago.

But that was mostly niche site peeps.

But now?

It’s pretty much over for most people.

Google Zero

Saw this article being shared on Twitter this morning.

For 2024, almost 60% of searches on Google resulted in zero clicks.

ZERO CLICKS. SIXTY PERCENT.

Are you surprised by that 60% figure?

Honestly, I think I am a little. Like I knew things were bad, but not 60% bad.

Kind of crazy to think about the future of search. If there is a future.

And then I think about all the wrong info that AI overviews are popping out….and almost 60% of people are just taking that as correct info.

Wild.

Coming up…

More on what I’m working on and how it’s going.

Stay awesome,
