Now we might need to aim for conversation intent, you know.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Per reporting from Search Engine Land, <a href=\"https:\/\/openai.com\/index\/our-approach-to-advertising-and-expanding-access\/\" type=\"link\" id=\"https:\/\/openai.com\/index\/our-approach-to-advertising-and-expanding-access\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">OpenAI<\/a> is getting ready to roll out conversion focused advertising formats inside ChatGPT, which could really shift how people find products, weigh options, and decide to buy. It is not only another place where ads show up. It points to the start of conversational commerce at scale.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Also, unlike old style search ads where users click through a bunch of blue links, AI screens compress the whole decision into one back and forth. That changes the economics of visibility fast.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The main angle is not \u201cChatGPT will have ads.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The main angle is: if AI assistants become the default layer between people and the wider web, brands may end up competing for recommendation real estate instead of chasing website traffic, most of the time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Introduction<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.itechmanthra.com\/blog\/google-search-console-links-report-showing-old-data\/\" type=\"link\" id=\"https:\/\/www.itechmanthra.com\/blog\/google-search-console-links-report-showing-old-data\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">OpenAI\u2019s shift toward ads<\/a> that aim at conversion suggests ChatGPT is moving beyond being just an info tool, and closer to a transaction and commerce platform.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Small businesses could get earlier access at lower costs to high-intent buyers, before the whole ad ecosystem becomes crowded, almost like what happened with Google Ads.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Classic SEO is not going away, but \u201cAI visibility optimization\u201d looks like it is turning into a parallel discipline.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why Is OpenAI Introducing Conversion-Focused Ads?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">OpenAI seems to be assembling an advertising framework that is more about what people do, not only about showing ads and counting impressions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That detail really matters, because conversational AI can create stronger intent signals than older style search phrases. When someone asks ChatGPT for \u201cthe best CRM for a 10-person sales team under $100\/month,\u201d the system already reads budget, company size, use case, and purchase setting inside one prompt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Google Search often makes you do a few searches just to really uncover what someone means. ChatGPT captures that, a bit faster.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So the advertising landscape is, basically, not the same anymore.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Instead of locking onto keywords, future advertisers might go for things like:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Conversation context<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>User goals<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Intent progression<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Buying stage<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Product comparisons<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Decision confidence<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If that happens, you could see much stronger conversion efficiency than what we get from display ads or standard search placements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The source piece leaned pretty hard on monetization strategy. But the bigger takeaway feels behavioral: people treat AI-generated recommendations differently than they treat regular search results.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">People skim on Google.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">People talk with ChatGPT.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That mental mismatch changes how ads land on you, and how much they sway you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The key opportunity isn\u2019t \u201cads inside ChatGPT\u201d at all, it\u2019s the influence inside AI-powered decision making.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Could ChatGPT Ads Actually Look Like?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The most likely format is native conversational recommendation advertising rather than classic banner ads, you know.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">OpenAI understands that interruptive advertising would damage user trust very quickly. So you should expect subtle integrations that feel more like sponsored recommendations than display advertising, which is important.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"496\" src=\"https:\/\/www.itechmanthra.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Screenshot-2026-05-28-151406-1024x496.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3382\" style=\"aspect-ratio:2.0661029976940815;width:741px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.itechmanthra.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Screenshot-2026-05-28-151406-1024x496.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.itechmanthra.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Screenshot-2026-05-28-151406-300x145.png 300w, https:\/\/www.itechmanthra.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Screenshot-2026-05-28-151406-768x372.png 768w, https:\/\/www.itechmanthra.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Screenshot-2026-05-28-151406-1536x743.png 1536w, https:\/\/www.itechmanthra.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Screenshot-2026-05-28-151406.png 1564w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Potential Ad Formats in ChatGPT<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><thead><tr><th>Format<\/th><th>How It Might Work<\/th><th>Best Use Case<\/th><th>Likely Conversion Strength<\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td>Sponsored Recommendations<\/td><td>The AI suggests a paid partner in a natural way inside responses<\/td><td>SaaS, local services<\/td><td>High<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Conversational Product Cards<\/td><td>Interactive product suggestions inside chats, almost like quick cards of interest<\/td><td>Ecommerce<\/td><td>High<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Affiliate Commerce Links<\/td><td>Revenue-sharing product referrals that appear in context<\/td><td>Consumer goods<\/td><td>Medium<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Lead Generation Flows<\/td><td>Embedded demo booking or inquiry forms that guide the user forward<\/td><td>B2B services<\/td><td>Very High<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>AI Shopping Comparisons<\/td><td>Sponsored placement in comparison style replies<\/td><td>Software\/tools<\/td><td>High<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Contextual Upsells<\/td><td>Recommendations based on conversation history rather than random promotion<\/td><td>Subscriptions<\/td><td>Medium<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Insight: ChatGPT ads will likely focus on relevance and usefulness more than just being seen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This feels closer to Amazon\u2019s path than to Google\u2019s, even if people compare them anyway.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Amazon monetized commercial intent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">OpenAI could monetize conversational intent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That line matters, because people who step into an AI chat often come in with clearer intentions than someone casually scrolling the web, you know, with minimal direction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Will ChatGPT Ads hurt SEO and organic traffic?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Yes, especially for informational searches. Still, the larger fight might shift toward transactional trust.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The SEO space has already been shaken by AI Overviews in search engines. A lot of publishers notice falling click-through rates because users pull answers straight on the results page.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">ChatGPT speeds up that movement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If people start routinely asking AI assistants, like:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>\u201cWhich payroll software is best for startups\u201d<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>\u201cWhat\u2019s the best ERP for textile manufacturing?\u201d<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>\u201cWhich email platform has the best deliverability?\u201d<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u2026they may never come back to those ten comparison articles again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Instead, they\u2019ll get a single synthesized recommendation flow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Which leads to two big implications, slightly different than what most people think.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. Top-of-funnel content stops paying off sooner<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Those basic informational blogs start to lose effectiveness when AI can summarize them instantly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201c10 Tips for Better Email Marketing\u201d turns into that AI-generated commodity stuff.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Brand authority matters more, not less<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">AI systems lean on a bunch of signals, like:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>citations<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>mentions<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>reviews<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>community trust<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>structured information<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>product reputation<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Brands that have stronger digital authority could end up with outsized AI visibility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And this is where a lot of marketers underestimate the shift.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">SEO was partly about getting pages ranked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">AI visibility is increasingly about being treated as a trusted entity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Example: Reddit\u2019s influence on AI recommendations<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Many AI systems surface Reddit discussions more often because they carry genuine user experiences, and that authenticity is easy for models to rely on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A 2025 analysis from a handful of SEO monitoring platforms showed Reddit visibility exploded across AI driven recommendation systems after Google and OpenAI started prioritizing discussion based trust signals. So, in practice it looks like the forums are being treated as a kind of social proof engine, not just a pile of user chatter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That means smaller brands with real community pull can outperform bigger brands with fatter ad budgets, even when those brands are loud everywhere else.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Also, the next phase could hand more rewards to credible brands, not to websites that only chase aggressive on page optimization, relentlessly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Does This Mean for Small Businesses?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Small businesses might get a rare early mover opening, yet the timing matters, because it only works if they adapt before large advertisers fully show up and dominate the ecosystem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Looking back, most ad platforms repeat the same rhythm:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>early adoption is inexpensive<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>competition arrives slowly<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>results get better<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>large advertisers scale aggressively<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>costs climb dramatically<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We saw this pattern with:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Facebook Ads (2012\u20132016)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Google Shopping<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>TikTok Ads<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>LinkedIn lead generation campaigns<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">ChatGPT advertising could follow that same curve, and the shift could feel fast once momentum sets in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why Small businesses might actually win early<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Smaller organizations usually do a few things quicker, not because they are magical, more because the loops are shorter. They experiment faster, they approve campaigns faster, they adapt messaging quickly, niche-target better, and they can personalize offers more effectively.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Conversational AI especially seems to pay attention to specificity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A broad enterprise pitch might do worse than something like \u201cAccounting software built for 5\u201320 employee architecture firms.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In AI conversations, people naturally reveal intent, and the dialogue narrows over time, almost like it steers itself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So that ends up helping businesses with a sharper focus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Example scenario<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Picture two competing agencies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Agency A &#8211; \u201cFull-service digital marketing solutions.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Agency B &#8211; \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.itechmanthra.com\/blog\/gemini-powered-google-ads-dashboards\/\" type=\"link\" id=\"https:\/\/www.itechmanthra.com\/blog\/gemini-powered-google-ads-dashboards\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">SEO and paid ads<\/a> for orthodontic clinics generating 50\u2013200 monthly leads.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In a conversational AI environment, Agency B becomes easier to recommend, because the positioning is clearer, and more contextually relevant, even when the buyer is still figuring out what they need.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That is likely how AI recommendation systems will evolve, sooner than many expect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Steps small businesses should take right now<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Strengthen niche positioning<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Improve review quality and credibility<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Build community shout outs across forums and social channels<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Create comparison articles that sound credible<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Monitor growth in branded search terms<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Layout website pages so AI parsing feels natural<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Watch what AI tools are currently saying about your brand<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Brands that are easy for AI systems to interpret will tend to outperform brands that are just loud.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How will ChatGPT ads stack up against Google ads?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">ChatGPT ads may in the future bring stronger intent signals, while Google ads still wins on breadth and speed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The two platforms target different moments in how people behave.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Google remains tuned for retrieval.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">ChatGPT is tuned for guidance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That shift changes the whole buying path.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">ChatGPT ads vs Google ads<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><thead><tr><th>Factor<\/th><th>Google ads<\/th><th>ChatGPT ads<\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td>User Intent<\/td><td>Search-led<\/td><td>Chat-led conversation<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Discovery Style<\/td><td>Many choices<\/td><td>Guided recommendations<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Competition Level<\/td><td>Extremely high<\/td><td>Possibly lower at first<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>User Journey<\/td><td>Click driven<\/td><td>Dialogue driven<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Ad format<\/td><td>Keywords, placements<\/td><td>Contextual recs<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Trust mechanism<\/td><td>SERP ranking<\/td><td>AI synthesis in one place<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Optimization focus<\/td><td>CTR and CPC<\/td><td>Conversation outcomes<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Best for<\/td><td>High volume acquisition<\/td><td>High intent conversion<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Insight: Google might stay the volume engine while ChatGPT turns into the decision engine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That difference could shift budget allocation over the next few years, for real.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A lot of marketers currently optimize for traffic generation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But conversational AI tends to reward conversion probability, not just views.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So it becomes a different discipline altogether, honestly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Could users reject ads inside ChatGPT?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Yes, they can if the ads feel manipulative biased or intrusive, no question.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is the biggest risk OpenAI faces right now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Search users expect ads.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">ChatGPT users expect assistance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That creates a trust asymmetry OpenAI has to manage carefully, or it gets messy fast.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If people think recommendations are financially influenced without transparency, trust can erode quickly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And AI products rely heavily on keeping that trust, day after day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is where OpenAI\u2019s challenge gets a lot more tricky than Google\u2019s early advertising issue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Google kept ads separate, like visually you could just see the border from organic results.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But in conversational interfaces those lines get blurred in a very natural way. Like, it happens as part of the flow, and then suddenly the boundary feels, more optional, less strict.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And then you get three main risks that can\u2019t really be ignored.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. Recommendation bias worries<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">People may ask themselves if what they\u2019re getting is truly the best answer or if it\u2019s just sponsored in a quiet voice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Lower perceived impartiality<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When an AI assistant is framed as a helper, expectations rise. Search engines can be treated as retrieval tools, but assistants feel more present, more accountable, in a way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. Regulatory attention<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Governments are already probing AI transparency requirements. So \u201csponsored\u201d conversational recommendations might bring heavier regulation than traditional ads ever did.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is why OpenAI will probably move with care on ad labeling, and also on contextual relevance. The platform can\u2019t take a trust collapse right when mainstream adoption is starting to matter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Conversational advertising only works when users still believe the assistant is helping them first, before anything else.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Bigger Shift Most Marketers Are Missing<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The real disruption isn\u2019t just ad inventory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It\u2019s interface control.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For twenty years, websites were kind of the destination.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Now AI systems are becoming that interface layer between the people and the information, which is a big shift. It changes discovery, trust, attribution, brand visibility, user journeys, conversion pathways, everything.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And the firms that end up winning here won\u2019t always be the ones with the biggest ad budgets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">They will be the brands that:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>AI systems can clearly explain, not in a vague way<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Users consistently trust, without needing to be coaxed<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Communities genuinely recommend, because it actually helps<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Data sources keep validating, again and again<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That\u2019s a marketing playbook that feels different from pure SEO, or paid acquisition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And it might push digital marketing back toward something a bit surprisingly old fashioned:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Clear positioning, strong reputation, actual customer satisfaction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ironically AI could reward authentic brand quality more than the click optimization era ever did.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Conclusion<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">OpenAI is preparing those conversion focused ads for ChatGPT, and it\u2019s not just another monetization update, no. It feels more like the start of a new contest layer where brands will be competing for AI mediated recommendations instead of only chasing search rankings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The likely winners probably wont be the ones that complain the loudest, or push the most noise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">They\u2019ll be the companies that AI systems trust enough to recommend, again and again, over time. Thats a pretty different game, and a lot of businesses havent caught on yet that it already started.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For years, marketer<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>For years, marketers chased search intent.
