📈 Oct 6, 2025: Google processes around 14 billion searches daily, 210 times more than ChatGPT's 66 million "search-like" prompts. ChatGPT's growth largely stems from API integrations rather than direct searches. Only 21% of ChatGPT's interactions are search-like. AI-driven referrals constitute less than 1% of online traffic. Users embracing AI tools also increase their Google use. Despite AI search growth, Google maintains its dominance in discovery and information access.

📚 Zero-click outcomes dominate Google searches, with AI Overviews (AIO) appearing above organic results, drastically reducing top organic click-through rates. AEO prioritizes answer citations. Google and AI engines still drive site traffic, but future clicks may shift to high-intent actions. Use SSR and schema for discoverability; llms.txt is not yet standard. Fresh content remains crucial, especially as AI rotates citations. Backlinks remain important, but entity authority is growing. AEO strategies enhance citation chances, not guarantees.
