Today I’m breaking down a jaw-dropping development from Google that could fundamentally reshape how we think about paid traffic, brand control, and the role of landing pages in e-commerce. After reading a standout piece from Jo Lambadjieva's AI for Ecommerce and Amazon Sellers newsletter (link to Jo's article below), I knew I had to share it with you.
