Google’s search engine is shifting faster than ever. Clicks are being pulled away by more powerful AI features, and overall organic traffic is under pressure. And yet, through it all, every client I’ve worked with has landed on page one of Google within six months. That’s not a promise as Google regularly makes changes to its algorithm. But, it’s a track record I’m really proud of.
In this post, I’m going to walk you through how that’s possible in 2025, why many businesses are seeing 25–30% drops in leads from Google, and how AI-driven tools like ChatGPT can become a new source of visibility for your business.
Our Track Record: Results + Responsible Language
From project one to today, we’ve kept a tight system of tracking:
-
- Regular reports, ranking snapshots, and audits
- Client feedback where leads tell us, “Google” or “ChatGPT is how I found you”
- Lead logs and attribution where possible
So when I say “every client we’ve worked with has reached Google’s first page within six months,” it’s based on data—not hype. That said, because Google’s algorithms are constantly evolving, I always include this disclaimer:
“While I cannot guarantee results (because of Google updates beyond my control), my experience shows a 100% success rate to date in achieving first-page rankings within six months for clients.”
That phrasing lets the results speak, without crossing into legally risky territory.
The Changing Search Landscape: Why Leads Are Dropping
To appreciate why my clients’ consistency is meaningful, we need context: the SEO environment is tougher now than ever.
AI Overviews & Zero-Click Searches
Google now often provides answers within the search results page itself (called AI “Overviews” or summary boxes). That means users get what they want without ever clicking through to your site. Studies report that this shift can reduce organic traffic by 15% to 64%, depending on query type and vertical.
These AI Overviews show up more often for informational or generic queries. For example, when someone asks “What is X?” Google may display a summarized answer above or instead of traditional search results.
General Declines & User Behavior Shifts
-
- Across many industries, organic traffic is under pressure as search behavior changes, including the growing use of AI chat tools and social media discovery.
- In one SEO industry article, the drop in click-throughs caused by AI Overviews was framed as “the 60% problem,” reflecting how dramatically search referrals are being disrupted. (Forbes)
- Even with these pressures, Google remains dominant in share—but the value of ranking isn’t what it used to be (i.e. clicks aren’t guaranteed just because you’re in position #1).
Bottom line: getting to page one is harder, and staying relevant is more complex. That’s why it matters how you rank, not just if you rank.
Why Our Clients Are Resilient (What We Do Differently)
So how do we beat these industry headwinds and still deliver consistent results? Here are the strategic advantages we bring:
Focus on Intent, Not Just Keywords
We prioritize commercial or transactional keywords—the terms that people search when they’re ready to take action—not just informational queries. Because even if AI Overviews dominate in informational space, people still click through when they want to buy or hire.
Brand Strength & Content Depth
Branded searches (when someone types your brand name + service) are less susceptible to AI summarization. We help clients build content and reputation so brand queries grow.
Also, the content we publish is deeper, more useful, and designed to go beyond what AI can automatically summarize—so that the content itself remains click-worthy.
Agile & Adaptive SEO Execution
At My Business Blitz, we don’t set and forget. We monitor results, adjust for algorithm updates, and pivot to new tactics when the landscape shifts.
We integrate a diversified strategy: content, backlinking, site tech, user experience, structured data, and more.
Emerging Visibility via AI / Chat Tools
Here’s where things get interesting: clients are already getting recommended within ChatGPT / AI search environments. That’s a new frontier of discoverability. Even though it’s harder to measure the attribution now, when leads come in, it reinforces the impact of our approach
-
- Here are anonymized screenshots where leads say that ChatGPT recommended my client.
- We treat this as a supplemental channel—not a replacement for Google—but one that strengthens overall visibility




What This Means for Businesses Today
Here’s what you should take away (and what you can test immediately):
- Don’t dismiss SEO just because rankings are harder. The rules are changing, not dying.
- Work with someone who has both proven results and the flexibility to adapt with evolving search paradigms.
- Ask your SEO provider how they handle AI overlap and generative search visibility.
- Use this mindset: visibility = not just position, but how many ways people can find you (Google, Chat, brand searches, etc.).
