AI vs. Google isn’t theoretical anymore; your buyers are already switching how they search.

In this episode, Marcus Sheridan (author of They Ask, You Answer and Endless Customers) shares fresh data from ~3,000 pros on how often they now use ChatGPT instead of Google, what that means for SEO, content, and lead gen, and how car dealerships can pivot now to stay discoverable.

You’ll learn:

• Why “extremes get clicks” (and how to win with balanced, trust-first content)
• The real timeline for AI in customer service (and why “faster, friction-free” always wins)
• What “legacy Google is dying” actually means (and what still works today)
• A pragmatic playbook to future-proof dealership SEO with AI search behavior in mind
• The 4 pillars from Endless Customers to become the most known and trusted brand in your market
