Google’s new Generative AI Overviews (AIOs) are rapidly changing the search landscape in Australia. They’re influencing which content is seen first, how users navigate results, and what businesses need to do to stay visible.

"None of this might have happened if it hadn't been for seeing Andrea that day." 

As 2024 winds down, we look to the horizon of 2025, a year projected to redefine digital marketing.  To anticipate the trends ahead, we asked our team leads, managers and executives to share their insights on what's next for the industry.
