Among all the AIs today, it\u2019s the only one capable of offering the integrations it does.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It was supposed to be the only one to offer a search system along with generative AI, but OpenAI, not wanting to be left behind, also integrated its own search system into ChatGPT.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Still, among all the alternatives on the market and even compared to ChatGPT itself, <strong>there\u2019s no AI today capable of competing with what Google is offering.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It takes courage to say that! But it\u2019s true, and I\u2019ll prove this point now, throughout the article.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ready to start? First, let\u2019s go over the basics: what does Google\u2019s AI offer, and why is it the best so far?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Then we\u2019ll discuss in more detail the future of SEO with Google AI\u2019s arrival. Let\u2019s go!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Does Google\u2019s AI Offer?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"750\" height=\"400\" src=\"https:\/\/getleadster.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/O-que-e-Growth-Marketing.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2523\" srcset=\"https:\/\/getleadster.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/O-que-e-Growth-Marketing.webp 750w, https:\/\/getleadster.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/O-que-e-Growth-Marketing-300x160.webp 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Google\u2019s AI, or Gemini (let\u2019s refer to it this way from now on), is a complex system with three main fronts:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Search:<\/strong> Gemini is directly integrated into the SERPs, answering user questions before all organic and paid results. This is currently the greatest fear of organic traffic.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Google Workspace: <\/strong>Google also offers a Gemini subscription for Workspace, where you can use generative AI directly in Google documents.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Google Ads:<\/strong> In addition to these areas, Google also provides a chatbot with Gemini for Google Ads. You can ask the chatbot anything related to Google Ads campaigns and get real-time instructions.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Being a <a href=\"https:\/\/getleadster.com\/blog\/natural-language-processing\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Natural Language Processing<\/a> AI, Google\u2019s AI can answer any question and deliver any result a person requests, as long as the answer exists in its database.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The thing is, this database is Google itself, which today is practically synonymous with the entire internet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s precisely because of this database, this integration with Google products, and this chatbot on Google Ads that Gemini is the most complete AI on the market today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Let\u2019s go over each of these points in more detail now. Stay with me:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Gemini Directly in Google Search<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Gemini is already active in most Google searches today here in Brazil.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>See the screenshot below:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is the Gemini result. Its structure is quite simple:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>A main box with the result generated through Generative AI;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A side box with the sources used to display the result.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Gemini uses the first page\u2019s results to create its summary and displays the links used for the research on the right side of the page.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And here\u2019s something interesting: in addition to showing the links on the right side, they are also displayed again in the classic Google format, below the main result.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>This Gemini feature is the most controversial of all. It\u2019s what\u2019s \u201cthreatening\u201d SEO.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And not only SEO: ad performance might also suffer some impacts, as Google\u2019s <strong>very first result, once reserved for ads or the featured snippet \u2014 which wasn\u2019t as common as Gemini \u2014 now belongs to the AI.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is an issue of space, usability, and interface. What Google is doing is directing all user attention to the AI \u2014 everything else comes after.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This has actually been happening for some time now. Featured snippets, Google Shopping, and video resources \u2014 <strong>all are part of Google\u2019s strategy to keep users on the search engine.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And that\u2019s what\u2019s happening with Google\u2019s AI, too, the prioritization of users within the search engine itself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>No judgments yet! We\u2019ll talk more about the future of SEO throughout the article. For now, let\u2019s take a closer look at the other two Gemini functionalities:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Gemini in Google Workspace<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Gemini in Google Workspace <strong>works in Gmail, Google Docs, Google Sheets, Google Meet, Google Slides, and in Gemini\u2019s dedicated app \u2014 <\/strong>similar to ChatGPT.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Its primary uses for creativity and collaboration are in Docs, Sheets, Meet, and Slides.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For documents (Docs, Sheets, and Slides), the AI functions almost like a ChatGPT for the document and platform.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For example: instead of searching the internet for the formula to organize a column, you can ask the AI to provide it based on a simple description.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If someone asks you to add a VLOOKUP in a Google Sheet, but you\u2019re unsure how or what the corresponding function is in Google, the AI can tell you the appropriate function and even show you how to use it directly in the document.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For creative production, Gemini can perform research directly in the document and deliver the result already formatted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In emails, Gemini helps you craft the ideal message, as it\u2019s directly incorporated into the editor and even the inbox, helping you filter received messages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In Google Meet, its primary function is to offer transcriptions, but it also provides in-call support \u2014 no more screen sharing to Google something, just ask the AI.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The main drawback of Gemini in Google Workspace is that the service is paid.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But this is common among today\u2019s AIs. Many other AIs on the market offer similar services and charge even more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Speaking of prices, I\u2019ll let Gemini answer this one itself. Here\u2019s its time to shine:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>G<strong>emini Advanced: Access to the Gemini 1.0 Ultra model for R$96.99 per month.<\/strong> This advanced version is recommended for complex actions, such as programming and logical reasoning.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Gemini Business: Costs USD 24 per user<\/strong> <strong>per month<\/strong> on a flexible plan or USD 20 per user annually.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Gemini Enterprise: Costs USD 36 per user<\/strong> <strong>per month<\/strong> on a flexible plan or USD 30 per user annually.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Gemini Code Assist: Costs USD 19.00 per user per month<\/strong>, with a 12-month commitment.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Gemini 1.5 Flash: Costs USD 35 for 1,000 requests, <\/strong>with a daily limit of 1 million requests.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Gemini in Google Ads<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>In Google Ads, Gemini operates as a chatbot with Natural Language Processing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In fact, here at Leadster, we have a chatbot that does the same thing, but instead of being in Google Ads, it\u2019s applied on your site and uses your database.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The functionality in Google Ads is fascinating and isn\u2019t any simpler just because it\u2019s \u201conly\u201d a chatbot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>In fact, it\u2019s precisely because it\u2019s a chatbot that it\u2019s even more advanced.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Google Ads is a highly complex tool that becomes more complicated as you learn to use it and discover its deeper functions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A chatbot in this case works almost like Copilots for programmers, such as those by ChatGPT, GitHub, and even Microsoft, which, although not as popular, is still an incredible tool.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But instead of coding, it\u2019ll help you create campaigns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As with these Copilots, Gemini for Google Ads works best if you have at least a good understanding of Google Ads\u2019 functioning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Knowing what a campaign is, for example, will help a lot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, even if you ask \u201cwhat is a campaign?\u201d the chatbot can guide you on a hands-on discovery journey that\u2019s much more interactive than watching Google\u2019s courses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Alright, now that we\u2019ve discussed the main features of Gemini on Google, we also need to understand what it represents in the Brazilian market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>What changes? How is it being accepted? Let\u2019s dive deeper into this conversation now.

Most people trust the information it provides.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Unfortunately, we don\u2019t yet have enough data to determine the level of acceptance of Gemini in the search engine directly, but we know enough to speculate a bit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>How about we do just that now?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The SEO Paradox<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>At some point in the early 2000s, SEO was \u201cdiscovered\u201d \u2014 it gained immense popularity and became the primary way Google brought articles on various topics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>At the same time, though, SEO brought a serious problem: the possibility of gaming Google.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For a long time, SEO really was a game \u2014 you got the technical aspects right, used a certain number of keywords, distributed them well, included links, and voil\u00e0: your article was ready to be indexed in the top positions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And with many people buying and selling backlinks \u2014 a significant factor in Domain Authority, the main metric for indexing at the time \u2014 the top results weren\u2019t always the best articles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This gradually changed in some niches, but in others, the situation reached extreme levels, making it difficult to find accurate information on Google, even when all content was 100% human-written.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ranking on Google has always been the main goal of SEO, but instead of focusing on informative ranking methods, many brands concentrated on technique.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This created a paradox: Google and its wealth of information were built through SEO over the years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But even though we now have a vast sea of content in front of us, we realize it\u2019s a shallow one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This has actually contributed to the rise and popularity of AIs. The way AIs write today was trained using internet content, which wasn\u2019t created with information as the primary goal but with an overwhelming need to rank at all costs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Decline in Google Quality Could Make AI a Savior<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the most common complaints against Google is the low quality of search results.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At this point, AI doesn\u2019t help much: it doesn\u2019t deliver results better than organic ones. <strong>AI text isn\u2019t necessarily better than the articles published and indexed on the first page.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Mainly because, as we\u2019ve seen, AI provides a summary of the indexed articles in good positions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But AI provides a summary not optimized for SEO, whereas most first-page results prioritize SEO.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In other words,<strong> the AI article ends up being better than the SEO article because it\u2019s more concise and well-presented.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you want to know why your refrigerator is making noise, AI responds without beating around the bush, while many SEO articles will start by explaining what a fridge motor is, what insulation is, how the gas is transported, etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This leads to comments like this on Reddit:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Or even more colorful ones like this:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Even older discussions about the \u201cstate of Google\u201d come with AI recommendations that do precisely the job of summarizing articles:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At that time, Google AI didn\u2019t even exist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The truth is, Google as a search tool has been criticized for some time, much of it also due <strong>to SEO, which contributed to the decline in result quality.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Yes, we\u2019re going to discuss this in this article.

Other brands we consulted faced the same problem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Every year someone kills SEO. The Helpful Content of 2022 and 2023 killed SEO, then ChatGPT killed SEO, and now Gemini is killing SEO again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The truth is that SEO will only die the day Google dies<\/strong>. It depends on other brands\u2019 article production to exist. Even Gemini: it only responds based on information already on Google.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Our CMO, Gustavo Luby, even recorded a super interesting video on this topic. It\u2019s worth watching below.

But it emerged in a time when YouTube didn\u2019t have as much prominence, TikTok didn\u2019t exist, social media wasn\u2019t dominated by influencers, etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In other words, Google was the only research source.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Today, this has changed a lot. People are using other tools for search. Reddit and TikTok are prime examples.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Traditional Google content is lengthy and often drags on for 700 words to deliver a 50-word answer.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This model is dying, but not because of Google. Gemini is a response to this. It doesn\u2019t want people searching \u201chow to remove ingrown toenail Reddit\u201d or \u201chow to get a driver\u2019s license TikTok.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It wants people to just ask and for the search engine to deliver a better answer than these other tools.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So what happens to sites, landing pages, and extensive content? That\u2019s what we\u2019ll discuss now:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Google is Begging for New Forms of Content<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Alright, this may be colorful language, but it\u2019s true, and you\u2019ll agree with me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Google literally asked brands to focus on creating informative content with user experience as the primary concern in the 2023 Helpful Content Update, the largest in the series, which later became part of the Core Update.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>It even went as far as adding an extra E to the E-A-T standard \u2014 the E for Experience. Now, this parameter that had existed for years is called E-E-A-T.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Google has never done this before. It has always had its general guidelines and set content rules, but it rarely specified what made good content, and it never asked for differentiated content.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This came after the launch of ChatGPT. The first Helpful Content update even specifically mentioned \u201cAI-generated content,\u201d stating that it would be deprioritized and, in extreme cases, deindexed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In 2023, following the Helpful Content update, Google carried out a massive cleanup of spam sites, review farms, and many others that used SEO almost as a hack to gain more traffic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And this resulted in a new requirement, accompanied by this request: please, create unique content!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The New SEO and the Future<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>There\u2019s nothing \u201cnew\u201d in the SEO of the future. Not at all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In fact, the new SEO is a return to more traditional forms of copywriting and journalism.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We need to understand that Google is so ingrained in our lives that we\u2019re not exactly writing for it but rather for the people who use it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>So, the future of SEO is to focus on those people.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Everything that\u2019s written needs to have interactive elements, deep research, examples, screenshots, videos, and, most importantly, it needs to understand the search intent of readers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Why would someone search for information on Artificial Intelligence, for instance? Why would someone click on my result about the topic? To dive deeper into the subject. In our case, to dive deeper and gain a perspective focused on marketing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, we need to anticipate readers\u2019 needs. In this case, why write just anything explaining what AI is? Every article being read needs to be geared towards practical ways of using AI and its context in the market and in marketing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The issue is that this is much more challenging than it seems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Brands need to invest in good content and copywriting teams and do something they\u2019ve never dared to do before: go beyond the basics, beyond SEO, and take more risks.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p>Have you ever thought about activating the power of AI on your website today?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And I\u2019m talking about real power here: a chatbot similar to Gemini, but tailored to your website&#8217;s reality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Let\u2019s think of an e-commerce site: if someone has any question, they can chat with the chatbot about the product or category and receive natural responses, based on generative AI.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can have this feature on your website today.
