Google's search results have sucked for a long time, well before the onset of AI. Everything is hyperoptimized for SEO, pure content slop to rank on the first page, making Google pretty frustrating. Despite this, everyone (including myself) thought Google's search business was.

Truth. One more I'd add:. Be large. Size matters, a lot.
Want to sell your business for a great multiple? Here’s the recipe:. Be profitable. Be growing. Be diversified (customers, channels, products). Hire a good investment banker. That’s it. If you nail the above, you’ll almost always find a buyer willing to overlook anything else.
