1. Your Website Traffic Is Down
   Why it’s happening: People are getting answers directly from AI like Google’s summaries or ChatGPT instead of visiting websites.

Try this: Start an email newsletter. Share helpful tips, offers, or stories weekly so you stay in touch directly with your audience.

2. Fewer People Are Seeing Your Social Media Posts
   Why it’s happening: Social platforms are showing your posts to fewer people unless you pay for ads.

Try this: Boost your most important posts with paid ads, or invite people to follow you on email or WhatsApp so you can connect without the algorithm.

3. Your Blog or Posts Sound Like Everyone Else’s
   Why it’s happening: AI is creating lots of similar-sounding content, making it hard to stand out.

Try this: Share your real experiences—tell a personal story, show behind-the-scenes photos, or give advice only you can offer.

4. Your Brand Feels Bland
   Why it’s happening: If you rely too much on AI tools, your content might sound robotic.

Try this: Use your own voice and humour. Add a personal touch, like how you’d speak to a friend. Use AI to help but always add your personality.

5. People Ask AI Instead of Googling You
   Why it’s happening: More people are using tools like ChatGPT to get answers, so your blog or website might be skipped.

Try this: Create things AI can’t replace – like videos, workshops, podcasts, or free checklists that people can download.

6. Everyone Is Posting Too Much
   Why it’s happening: AI helps people pump out more content, so your audience feels overwhelmed.

Try this: Focus on quality over quantity. Post fewer things but make them really useful or entertaining.

7. You’re Getting Fewer Shares or Mentions
   Why it’s happening: AI pulls info without crediting the original source, so you get fewer backlinks.

Try this: Share original ideas, tips, or stats, and ask people to link back. Or collaborate with others and swap shout-outs.

8. It’s Hard to Know What’s Real Anymore
   Why it’s happening: With so much AI-made content, people don’t know what’s fake or real.

Try this: Be transparent. Show your face, speak in your own words, and share your story. People trust real people.

9. You Can’t Keep Up With Posting All the Time
   Why it’s happening: Big companies post content every day using AI tools – but you’re just one person.

Try this: Pick one or two good posts a week and recycle them into stories, reels, or emails. You don’t have to do it all.

10. Your Content Isn’t Showing Up on Google
    Why it’s happening: Google favours websites with lots of content and authority.

Try this: Focus on one topic at a time and go deep—write or post about it in different ways (blog, video, tips). You’ll build trust over time.
