Google Search Is Already in Decline

SMRTR summary

Google's dominance in search advertising is waning. By 2025, its share of the U.S. search ad market is projected to fall below 50% for the first time. This decline is driven by several factors: the rise of AI-powered answers, younger generations using alternative platforms, and a decrease in search result quality due to AI-generated content. Meanwhile, competitors like Amazon are gaining ground. These trends threaten Google's core business and the profits that support Alphabet's other ventures.
