How is AI Search different from Organic Search?

Google still dominates the traditional search market share, whereas AI search is a new and much more diverse field. This change opens up new opportunities for brands to compete on a new playing field.

What does 'search intent' mean in AI Search?

Search intent has always been an "in-between" step, where a user is trying to accomplish some goal. AI search services now directly answer these intents - whether it's writing better email subjects or finding wedding venues - instead of just providing links to explore.

How much traffic are AI search engines driving to sites?

While AI search drives less traffic overall, it's much higher intent. AI services excel at providing direct "zero-click" answers, especially for informational queries. Users often research in AI services before making direct navigational searches, making traditional tracking challenging.

How big is the AI search market?

Surprisingly, it's larger than traditional search. Every Google search now potentially includes an AI overview response, plus there are entirely new types of searches and tasks that people are using AI services for, representing the first major expansion of search capabilities in years.
