Seemingly not too long ago, searches for new products and services overwhelmingly started at Google. And it made sense to optimize for keywords, so you’d appear organically on page one.
But things have changed—just a bit. And no one is more qualified to talk about those changes than our guest Rand Fishkin, CEO of SparkToro and formerly the founder of Moz.
As Fishkin notes, today if you ask Google a question, over half the time they’re going to give you a snippet with an answer. And as soon as generative AI for search gains prominence, that's going to be closer 80%.
And even though search isn’t dead, for most small cap SaaS businesses, spending too much money and effort on it is probably wasted.
So where can today’s SaaS find where its audience is hanging out?
That’s where SparkToro comes in and you can try it free on their homepage.
