Search Is Changing

The Shift to AI Search Is Already Here

Informational queries are increasingly answered inside Google AI Overviews, ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Gemini. Brands that optimize for AEO and GEO are winning visibility, citations, and qualified pipeline while competitors watch organic clicks decline.

~60% of Google searches now end without a click (SparkToro and Datos).
25 to 50% of US searches trigger AI Overviews (Bain and Company).
800M+ weekly active users on ChatGPT alone (Reuters).
