About
THE DEATH OF GOOGLE
This book project delves into the evolving realm of search engines, the impact of social search habits, and the significant surge of artificial intelligence (AI) that is undermining Google’s historical search supremacy.
As we navigate the nascent stages of the AI era, signs of Google’s diminishing search dominance are emerging, challenging nearly a quarter-century of its unrivaled authority. To stay competitive, understanding and adapting to these groundbreaking changes is essential. Those eager to thrive in this evolving landscape must equip themselves with knowledge and insights into this new era, recognizing that the stakes extend far beyond the fate of Google.
Ignoring the AI revolution could spell disaster for both businesses and careers, leading to potential obsolescence. Alternatively, embracing this wave of change positions you as a pioneer, capable of influencing political, social, and economic landscapes. Equipping yourself with knowledge about AI not only prepares you to navigate this transition but also opens doors to capitalize on emerging opportunities. This burgeoning field is poised to mint the next wave of millionaires and billionaires – and you could very well be among them.
This is an ongoing series, hence the “2024” edition of info I collect through the year, trends I see, and technologies we see eroding Googles dominance. Every year I will publish a new edition and document the latest advances, updates and predictions coming.

MY BACKGROUND
My journey in the marketing technology (Martech) sector dates back to the 1990s, starting in print shops, bindery, and pre-press environments. A piece of advice from a pressman to “get into computers” propelled me forward, leading to a degree in computer science, a brief yet significant stint in the military, and eventually to assisting small businesses with setting up websites by 2005. This trajectory naturally positioned me to engage with Google, a pivotal force in marketing, through which I’ve facilitated sustained success for numerous business owners.
My extensive experience collaborating with hundreds of small business owners has refined my ability to craft successful campaigns. In my last role, I contributed to a marketing team that achieved a company’s listing on the NYSE, marking a significant milestone in my career.
Throughout my career, I’ve witnessed various shifts, but none as transformative as the advent of AI, which is redefining the traditional “behavior of search” after a quarter century. This evolution prompts the question of whether the conventional method of “Googling” will persist or if AI will revolutionize the very nature of search, potentially altering the human condition.
My critique of Google stems from over 15 years of engagement with their services, including Search and AdWords, witnessing their profit-driven interventions that have positioned them not as allies but as adversaries in the digital marketing realm.
This narrative is part of a book I am currently writing, documenting the historical shift as we observe Google’s response to AI and its efforts to stay relevant. Whether Google will navigate this transition successfully remains to be seen.
