This was confirmed during the Google antitrust trial and is indicated by the findings of the Google Search leak. That said, it\u2019s important to remember that not all users want to click on a link and visit a website to get an answer. Also, many of those zero-click searchers were never your target user\/client in the first place, according to technical SEO consultant <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/pedrodias\/status\/1808037902850420896\">Pedro Dias on X<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Here are more findings from the study.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Clicks to Google properties. <\/strong>Nearly 30% of all clicks in the U.S. go to Google-owned properties (e.g., <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/social-mediaa\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"1\" title=\"Social Media\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">YouTube<\/a>, Google Images, Google Maps), according to the report.<\/p>\n<p>A few \u201cyes, but\u201d thoughts:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>If people click on Google\u2019s YouTube, they will see a video created by a business, brand or creator. In the case of searches with local intent, if someone wants directions to a restaurant or another type of business, does it matter if that person didn\u2019t visit the website to get the same information?<\/li>\n<li>Yes, Google is keeping people within its ecosystem, but that shouldn\u2019t necessarily be \u201cconcerning\u201d if you\u2019re optimizing for more than just Classic Search. Especially if searchers are getting what they want.<\/li>\n<li>It becomes concerning when Google expands into new verticals and essentially \u201ctakes over,\u201d leaving websites to fight for crumbs of organic search traffic.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong><em>Dig deeper. Search everywhere optimization: 7 platforms SEOs need to optimize for beyond Google<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Traffic to websites.<\/strong> For every 1,000 Google searches, 360 clicks in the U.S. go to the open web; in the EU that number is 374.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>While we don\u2019t know exactly how many Google searches are conducted per day, multiple sites estimate this number to be 8.5 billion. That would mean more than 3 billion clicks per day go to the open web in the U.S. That\u2019s still 3 billion more clicks than any other search engine or answer engine gets in a single day.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>AI Overviews. <\/strong>Desktop searches increased \u201ca little\u201d while mobile searches fell \u201ca considerable amount,\u201d when comparing May to the prior four months, the study found. Some context:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Google launched AI Overviews in May \u2013\u00a0which was followed shortly thereafter by numerous bad examples of AIO giving dangerous and wrong answers. This led to a big pullback as Google promised to improve the quality of AI Overviews.<\/li>\n<li>Google has told us that people love AI Overviews (previously Search Generative Experience) and that AI overviews increased search usage \u2013 despite offering no actual data to back up its claims. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong><em>Dig deeper.
