Is SEO dying in 2025? Not really—but it’s changing fast.
You must have noticed: ChatGPT, Google Gemini, Perplexity.ai—sab ke sab answer dete hain bina kisi website pe click kare. Marketers are losing traffic to AI Overviews and chatbots. Itna paisa lagake blog likhne ka kya fayda, right?
But here’s the twist—if you adapt your marketing to Gen AI + AEO (Answer Engine Optimization), you’ll lead the race. This guide will walk you through everything from real brand case studies (like Unilever and Vanguard), to hyper-personalization tips, tool stacks, and ethical rules. Straight, desi style.
Ready? Chalo shuru karte hain.
Understanding Generative AI in Marketing
What is Gen-AI and Why It Matters in 2025
Generative AI means tools that can “generate” content—text, images, videos, even ads. In 2025, it’s not just ChatGPT. Brands are building their own AI copilots. Example? LVMH built MaIA, which handles over 2 million creative marketing queries per month.
Market Size, Growth & Adoption Stats
- The Generative AI market will hit $62.8B in 2025, and $356B by 2030 (source).
- Over 56–88% of marketers already use some form of AI. 92% plan to increase spend in 2025 (source).
- 79% of consumers will use AI-enhanced search this year (source).
Still lagging behind? Not paisa vasool.
Core Strategy Pillars
From SEO to AEO – Optimizing for AI-Powered Answers
Search engines are shifting. Google’s Search Generative Experience (SGE) means fewer clicks, more direct answers. Your strategy must focus on:
- Structuring content for Featured Snippets
- Including long-tail Q&A for chatbots
- Adding schema markup & speakable tags
- Writing in voice-search-friendly Hinglish
AEO = jugaad for the future.
Designing Hyper-Personalized Experiences at Scale
Gone are the days of “Dear Customer”. AI lets you:
- Segment audiences by behavior, intent, geography
- Auto-personalize ads, emails, landing pages
- Use AI copy for each segment (Copy.ai, Jasper)
Brands like Vanguard used Gen-AI for LinkedIn ads and saw a 15% jump in conversions (source).
