Buyers used to research on Google, where you could see them. Now 70%+ of the decision happens before a sales conversation, inside ChatGPT, Perplexity, Reddit, podcasts, and peer DMs. The funnel didn't shrink. It moved somewhere most companies aren't measuring.

Across B2B, organic traffic is down double-digits year over year. Branded search is up, because buyers only Google you after AI has already recommended you. Demos are arriving more qualified, but fewer. The funnel moved upstream.
Catching up means rebuilding authority AI models have already learned to ignore. The companies winning the next decade are training AI to recommend them right now, while the cost of entry is still low and competitors are still debating whether it matters.
The buying journey didn't disappear. It just stopped asking permission to be seen. We make sure you show up anyway.
