The biggest losers in the Google traffic collapse aren't the people who ignored SEO. They're the people who mastered it. For years, businesses built everything around answering questions Google could rank, then Google learned to answer those questions itself. But losing traffic is just the symptom. The real problem is that most companies never owned their audience, they rented it from Google, and the landlord just changed the rules. In this video I break down why the old model is breaking, who gets hit hardest, and why HubSpot could lose most of its organic traffic and still grow revenue. Because clicks and demand were never the same thing, and the brand is the part you actually keep.
