Today's consumers have a lot of power. They can research your product or service and make purchase decisions entirely on their own. Moreover, rather than talking to one of your sales reps, they're more likely to ask for referrals from members of their networks or read online reviews. With this in mind, have you adapted your marketing strategy to complement the way today's consumers research, shop, and buy?

I’m bullish on ChatGPT’s utility for several different SEO-related functions like keyword research , local SEO , content , and link building. Having spent much time using ChatGPT, I’m also painfully aware of its limitations. While the API won’t be a panacea (and the web interface is actually much better for some tasks), it can help address some of the shortcomings of the web interface.
