These findings are based on a new Semrush analysis of more than 10 million keywords from January to November.<\/p>\n<p><strong>AI Overviews surged, then retreated<\/strong>. Google didn\u2019t roll out AI Overviews in a straight line in 2025. A mid-year spike gave way to a pullback, suggesting Google moved fast to test the feature, then eased off based on user data:<\/p>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>January:<\/strong> 6.5% of queries triggered an AI Overview<\/li>\n<li><strong>July:<\/strong> AI Overview visibility peaked, <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">app<\/a>earing in just under 25% of queries.<\/li>\n<li><strong>November:<\/strong> Coverage fell back to less than 16% of queries.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Zero-click behavior defied expectations.<\/strong> Surprisingly, click-through rates for keywords with AI Overviews have steadily risen since January. AI Overviews don\u2019t automatically reduce clicks and may even encourage them.<\/p>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>AI Overviews still appear more often on searches that already tend to drive no clicks.<\/li>\n<li>But when Semrush compared the same keywords before and after an AI Overview appeared, zero-click rates fell from 33.75% to 31.53%.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Informational queries no longer dominate. <\/strong>Early 2025 AI Overviews were almost entirely informational:<\/p>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>January: 91% informational<\/li>\n<li>October: 57% informational<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Now, AI Overviews are appearing for commercial and transactional queries:<\/p>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Commercial queries: Increased from 8% to 18%<\/li>\n<li>Transactional queries: Increased from 2% to 14%<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Navigational queries are rising fast.<\/strong> In an unexpected shift, AI summaries are increasingly intercepting brand and destination searches:<\/p>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Navigational AI Overviews grew from under 1% in January to more than 10% by November.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Google Ads + AI Overviews. <\/strong>Earlier this year, ads rarely appeared next to AI Overviews. Now they\u2019re common:<\/p>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Ads alongside AI Overviews rose from about 3% in January to roughly 40% by November.<\/li>\n<li>Ads show at the bottom of around 25% of AI Overview SERPs.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/sciencee\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"5\" title=\"Science\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Science<\/a> is the most impacted industry. <\/strong>By keyword saturation, Science leads all verticals for AI Overviews at 25.96%. Computers &amp; Electronics follows at 17.92%, with People &amp; Society close behind at 17.29%.<\/p>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Since March, Food &amp; Drink has seen the fastest growth in AI Overviews of any category.<\/li>\n<li>Meanwhile, Real Estate, Shopping, and Arts &amp; Entertainment remain lightly affected, with AI Overviews appearing on fewer than 3% of keywords.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Why we care. <\/strong>AI Overviews are unevenly and persistently reshaping click behavior, commercial visibility, and ad placement.
