Google's AI Overviews are summarizing your content and keeping the traffic for themselves. Pew Research found that clicks on traditional results drop from 15% to 8% when an AI summary appears. Ahrefs estimates AI Overviews cut click-through rates for the #1 organic result by 58%.

This episode breaks down what's happening, who it affects, what the research says, and what you can do about it. We cover the economic scale of the problem (the internet is $2.6 trillion in U.S. value alone), the Munich court ruling that held Google liable for false AI-generated claims, the UK Competition and Markets Authority's push for publisher protections, what a better model for AI search could look like, and practical steps you can take right now to protect your business from the traffic bleed.

If you run a website, publish content, or depend on search traffic to reach customers, this one is for you.
