Event Description

If Apple makes a move, Perplexity could become the first real threat to Google’s dominance in decades. The AI-powered search startup is gaining momentum fast and reshaping how people discover information along the way. In this roundtable, we’ll break down what makes Perplexity different, why the stakes are high for both paid and organic traffic, and how brands can get ahead of the shift. We’ll also explore how to approach advertising when answers come before links.

BWG Connect & Coalition Technologies invite you to participate in an interactive discussion with your peers.

As always, there will be no sales pitches and there is no cost to join.

Discussion Topics

  • The rise of Perplexity and what makes it a legitimate challenger to Google
  • The talks between Apple and Perplexity, and why it's a big deal
  • The risks to paid and organic traffic if the shift to Perplexity is realized (and how you should address those risks)
  • How to advertise with Perplexity in mind?
