You bought the AI tool. Nobody used it. $200/month gone.
That's not a you problem. That's a picking-the-wrong-starting-point problem.

You bought the AI tool. Nobody used it. $200/month gone.
That's not a you problem. That's a picking-the-wrong-starting-point problem.
Here's what caught my attention this week. Google just reclaimed the top spot in the Kantar BrandZ 2026 rankings. Not because of search. Because their advertising and AI tools now operate from the same layer.
And buried in that report: 74% of AI assistant users are already seeking AI-driven recommendations — not just browsing, not just Googling. Actively asking AI what to buy.
That means your customers are changing how they find you, right now, whether you're ready or not.
The shift isn't about building AI. It's about showing up where AI already looks. That's a marketing positioning decision, not a tech decision. And it doesn't require blowing up your current systems.
One thing you can do this week: ask ChatGPT or Google's AI what it recommends for your product or service category. See if your business shows up. That answer tells you exactly where your gap is — and it takes ten minutes.
No consultants. No software purchases. Just information.
What did you try first with AI in your business — and did it actually stick?
... advertising products now sit closer to the same AI layer. ... It also notes that 74% of AI assistant users regularly seek AI-driven recommendations.
