Is search engine optimization (SEO) dead?

Local SEO industries like automotive, medical, home services, salons, spas, roofing, flooring, countertops, renovation contractors, etc., still benefit tremendously from SEO. We're busier than ever. Our clients are seeing huge spikes in traffic because we specialize in getting them to dominate in the local three-pack and with the highest overall combination of star rating and quantity of reviews.

Gemini will get that, too. Look how it works now: It selects the top 5 businesses on Google Maps with the highest star ratings. Bad luck if Google won't verify your virtual address. You will be nowhere! Backyard service businesses will disappear.

They know what they're doing for their revenue, which is only going up. However, the users have lost focus and aren't paying attention to their needs. The latest search results are not useful and sometimes completely irrelevant. This is not good for users. Of course, there are way more ads, so their revenue is up. If you own Google stock, you're good!
