just saw that zero-click searches are sitting at 68% now because of how google is handling ai answers. it feels like
click through rate is being killed by these overviews and the new ai mode making everything a dead end for organic traffic. i was checking
ahrefs data and noticed our impressions stay high but spoentertraffic is flatlining/spoiler.
>users find what they need without ever leaving the search results pageit makes me wonder if we should stop obsessing over
keyword volume and start focusing more on brand searches or directs. anyone else pivoting their strategy toward instead of relying on search?
