If you've looked at your Google Analytics recently and noticed your organic traffic slowly bleeding out — even though your rankings haven't dropped — you are not crazy.

This week, LinkedIn made a stunning public admission: Google's AI Overviews have slashed their non-brand B2B traffic by up to 60%. The click is dying, and the way we measure marketing success is fundamentally changing.

In this episode, Jacob Campos breaks down exactly why this is happening, why LinkedIn just fired their traditional SEO team, and the 10-minute audit you need to run today to see if your brand is surviving the shift to AI search.

Also covered: Netflix coming for your performance ad budgets using Amazon purchase data, a shocking influencer pay transparency gap, and the one social media habit that boosts engagement by 42%.
