🙌 Let My Traffic Go! Fighting for Visibility in the Age of Google AI

That ancient cry from Moses is echoing once again — but this time, it’s not about escaping Pharaoh. It’s small creators, bloggers, and entrepreneurs — crying out to Google to let their traffic go.

In the era of AI Overviews and Search Generative Experience (SGE), many are waking up to an invisible revolution: websites losing traffic, creators getting buried, and Google quietly becoming both search engine and content kingpin.

📉 The Exodus of Organic Traffic

Since Google rolled out its AI Overviews, creators have reported traffic drops of 30% to 60% overnight. Some bloggers have lost half their income in weeks. Entire niches travel blogs, recipe sites, health and finance blogs are seeing Google answer questions without sending anyone to their site.

It’s like setting a table... only to watch Google eat your meal and thank itself for the recipe.

• 50% fewer clicks on organic results (source: SparkToro)
• Rising bounce rates as users never leave Google's ecosystem

🤖 What Is Google AI Mode & AI Overviews Doing?

When you search for something now, Google often answers right in the search box using AI-generated summaries. No click required. No website visited. No ad viewed. No credit to the original creator.

Even worse? Google's AI trains on your content, then rewrites it — and keeps the traffic for itself.

This isn’t search. It’s suppression disguised as convenience.

⚔️ Small Creators Are the Casualties

We’re not giant corporations with billion-dollar SEO budgets. We’re Jamaican entrepreneurs, indie bloggers, YouTubers, recipe creators, wellness coaches — fighting for every click, every view, every share.

And now, that fight feels rigged.

When Google becomes the destination, creators become collateral damage.
