For years, marketers have relied on Google Search as a key aspect of their digital marketing strategy – reaching consumers at the exact moment of purchase intent. But new advancements in AI and changes in user behavior are rewriting the rules faster than many realize.
Today, AI-generated summaries increasingly answer queries without a single click, and brand landing pages are seeing a steady decline in both organic and paid referral traffic. Even high-ranking pages are losing visibility – and marketers are feeling the impact. In fact, a recent Paw Research Center study found that when Google’s AI summaries appear, click through rate drops by nearly 50%.
The tried-and-true model of intent-driven traffic is becoming less reliable by the day. So where do marketers go when search traffic drops off?
There’s a Smarter Way to Drive Keyword-Relevant Traffic
There’s a better approach – built for today’s privacy-first, attention-scarce world. Contextual advertising delivers your message directly within trusted, relevant editorial content, matched to your keywords and audience intent.
Just like search, these placements can be bought on a cost-per-click (CPC) basis. That means you’re only paying when someone actively chooses to engage with your content, minimizing wasted spend and keeping your budget tied directly to real reader acquisition.
But unlike search, your content appears across a distributed network of premium content, not just a single results page.
