Google AI Mode: What it Means for Your Business

Heather Hamilton Season 1 Episode 10

Google just launched AI Mode, and it’s reshaping how users interact with search results. Instead of a page full of links, users can now get AI-generated summaries, follow-up prompts, and explore subtopics—all without clicking through to your site.
