You kind of said everything but nothing all at once. If not Google then where?

Depends on what you're selling. If you do it right, Google will give you plenty of organic customers who want to buy your product - no ads needed. You can market as much as you want on Meta also without having to pay for ads.

But if you need stronger marketing than that, there will always be willing affiliates.

		If you're selling something, you love having the AI talking about your product. The move to AI is not a negative for businesses wanting to reach customers organically - on the contrary.
