AI Search Ad Spend to Top $26B by 2029—Is Your Stack Ready?
AI-powered marketing automation is about to reshape one of the biggest digital ad channels: search.
According to a June 4, 2025 report by Reuters, global spending on AI-driven search ads is projected to skyrocket to $26 billion by 2029. Read it here →
Why? Because search is evolving—from static, keyword-based results to dynamic, AI-enhanced responses. Platforms like Google’s SGE (Search Generative Experience), Microsoft Copilot, and Perplexity are introducing conversational, intent-aware experiences that blend answers and ads.
For brands, this means one thing: if your infrastructure isn’t built for AI-first search, you’ll be outperformed by those who are.
Search Is No Longer Just a List of Links
The rise of generative AI has transformed the search experience into something interactive, predictive, and deeply personalized:
- Results are generated in real time based on intent and context
- Answers come embedded with suggestions—some organic, some sponsored
- User expectations are higher—they want immediate, relevant, trustworthy insights
Old-school PPC tactics and keyword stuffing won’t cut it anymore. Success now depends on how well your content integrates into AI responses, and how efficiently your ad spend aligns with those intent-rich moments.
