The findings are wild: <strong>clicks to websites are crashing<\/strong>, most users <strong>only skim the top of AI answers<\/strong>, younger searchers vibe with AIOs while older ones cling to traditional links, and <strong>trust in sources is now everything<\/strong>. This post dives into the study\u2019s major insights and serves up practical SEO strategies to navigate this new search reality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">AI Overviews Are Killing Clicks (Especially on Desktop)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>AIOs are gobbling up clicks that used to go to websites. The study shows that when an AIO pops up, <strong>click-through rates (CTR) to external sites take a brutal hit<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><code>\u25cf<\/code> <strong>Desktop<\/strong>: CTR plummets from ~28% to 11% &#8211; fewer than 1 in 8 users click a traditional result.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><code>\u25cf<\/code> <strong>Mobile<\/strong>: CTR drops from 38% to 21%.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Why? AIOs often deliver enough info to satisfy users without needing to click further. While 4 out of 5 users eventually click something, those clicks often hit other Google SERP features &#8211; think maps, YouTube videos, Reddit threads, or \u201cPeople Also Ask\u201d boxes &#8211; rather than classic blue links. For transactional or commercial queries, users still turn to organic links, forums, videos, or local listings, but AIOs are siphoning off a huge chunk of clicks that websites used to bank on. To dive deeper into how AI Overviews are reshaping search trends in 2025, check out our detailed analysis <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mindbees.com\/blog\/seo-2025-ai-overviews-google-trends\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>What this means for SEO<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><code>\u25cf<\/code> <strong>Expect less traffic<\/strong>: Organic clicks, especially on desktop, could get sliced in half (or worse) when AIOs appear.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><code>\u25cf<\/code> <strong>It\u2019s about visibility now<\/strong>: <em>Growth Memo<\/em> calls this a shift from a \u201cclick economy\u201d to a \u201cvisibility economy.\u201d Even a #1 ranking might not drive traffic if an AIO steals the spotlight.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><code>\u25cf<\/code> <strong>Actionable tip<\/strong>: Optimize to get your content or brand cited <em>inside<\/em> the AIO to stay in users\u2019 line of sight.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Most Users Only Read the Top of the AI Answer<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Users treat AIOs like a quick cheat sheet. The study found that <strong>70% of people never read past the top third<\/strong> of the AIO content, with a <strong>median scroll depth of just 30%<\/strong>. Anything buried lower might as well be invisible. The <strong>initial lines and sources cited at the top<\/strong> get nearly all the attention.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>How users engage:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><code>\u25cf<\/code> <strong>88% click \u201cShow More\u201d<\/strong> when the AIO is truncated, showing they want the full answer.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><code>\u25cf<\/code> Yet, <strong>86% just skim<\/strong> the content, spending only <strong>30\u201345 seconds<\/strong> on average before bouncing to something else.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><code>\u25cf<\/code> One user summed it up: \u201cI like AIO, but I still prefer Reddit,\u201d signaling that after skimming, many seek community answers for depth.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>What this means for SEO<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><code>\u25cf<\/code> <strong>Top placement is everything<\/strong>: If your brand or content isn\u2019t cited early in the AIO, most users won\u2019t see it.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><code>\u25cf<\/code> <strong>Craft AI-friendly content<\/strong>: Use concise, scannable formats (think bullet points, tight paragraphs, or FAQs) to boost your chances of being featured high up.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><code>\u25cf<\/code> <strong>Actionable tip<\/strong>: Add \u201cKey Takeaways\u201d or structured data to make your content easy for both AI and skimming users to digest.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Trust Is the New Filter: Authority Outranks Relevance<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Relevance used to rule, but now <strong>trust is the first gatekeeper<\/strong>. Users apply a two-step filter: <strong>1) \u201cDo I trust this source?\u201d<\/strong> then <strong>2) \u201cDoes it answer my question?\u201d<\/strong> Brand authority and trustworthiness are now the top priority.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Key findings:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><code>\u25cf<\/code> <strong>58% of the time<\/strong>, users picked a known brand, authority site, or trusted domain (.gov, .edu) first, saying things like \u201cI trust Yelp\u201d or \u201cUS News is trustworthy.\u201d<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><code>\u25cf<\/code> <strong>39% of results<\/strong> were skipped if the snippet seemed off-topic, even from a trusted site.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><code>\u25cf<\/code> <strong>Trust in AIOs themselves is solid<\/strong> &#8211; users rated it ~3.4 on a 1 (low) to 4 (high) trust scale.

It\u2019s not enough to match search intent; you need to scream <strong>authority<\/strong> so users feel confident clicking you. As <em>Growth Memo<\/em> notes, <em>\u201cthe new currency is authority, which now outranks search intent relevance.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>What this means for SEO<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><code>\u25cf<\/code> <strong>Build E-E-A-T signals<\/strong>: Get expert endorsements, earn links from .edu\/.gov sites, and flaunt credentials (e.g., \u201cTrusted by [Industry Leader]\u201d).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><code>\u25cf<\/code> <strong>Get cited in AIOs<\/strong>: Being a cited source boosts visibility <em>and<\/em> lends the AIO credibility, reducing the chance users look elsewhere.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><code>\u25cf<\/code> <strong>Actionable tip<\/strong>: Highlight trust signals upfront in content (author bios, certifications) to pass the \u201ctrust check\u201d reflex.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Younger Users Embrace AIO, Older Users Stick to \u201cBlue Links\u201d<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The study revealed stark generational and device differences in AIO adoption:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><code>\u25cf<\/code> <strong>Younger users (25\u201334, mobile)<\/strong> are AIO super-fans, choosing the AI answer as their <em>final<\/em> answer <strong>50% of the time<\/strong>. They scroll more too &#8211; <strong>54% of the AIO panel<\/strong> vs. 29% on desktop.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><code>\u25cf<\/code> <strong>Older users (55+)<\/strong> are skeptical, preferring traditional blue links. They voiced doubts about AIOs for high-stakes queries (e.g., \u201cI\u2019d go straight to PayPal for accuracy\u201d for a bank transfer question).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><code>\u25cf<\/code> <strong>Mobile vs. desktop<\/strong>: Mobile users pick the first screen of results (AIO or top organic link) <strong>71% of the time<\/strong>, while desktop users click AIO citation links less often (<strong>7.4%<\/strong> vs. <strong>19%<\/strong> on mobile).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>What this means for SEO<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><code>\u25cf<\/code> <strong>Know your audience<\/strong>: If targeting younger, mobile users, expect many to stop at the AIO. For older or YMYL (Your Money, Your Life) audiences, traditional rankings still matter.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><code>\u25cf<\/code> <strong>Prioritize mobile<\/strong>: Top spots (AIO or organic) are critical on small screens where users rarely scroll.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><code>\u25cf<\/code> <strong>Actionable tip<\/strong>: Tailor strategies by device &#8211; use desktop for brand exposure in AIOs, mobile for driving actual clicks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Users Still Double-Check via Reddit, YouTube &amp; Forums<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Even with AIOs, users crave validation. The study found <strong>18% of users opened Reddit threads, YouTube videos, or forums<\/strong> to double-check info after seeing an AIO or top result. Social proof and community content are huge for building confidence, especially for decisions needing extra assurance (e.g., \u201cbest months to buy a car\u201d).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><code>\u25cf<\/code> Users often seek <strong>Reddit<\/strong> for personal experiences, <strong>YouTube<\/strong> for visual demos, or <strong>forums<\/strong> for niche discussions.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><code>\u25cf<\/code> One user said, \u201cI still prefer Reddit,\u201d showing a preference for human perspectives over AI summaries.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><code>\u25cf<\/code> <em>Growth Memo<\/em> notes: <em>\u201cMany outbound clicks go to Reddit, YouTube, or forum posts &#8211; social proof seals decisions.\u201d<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>What this means for SEO<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><code>\u25cf<\/code> <strong>Own the validation step<\/strong>: Be present where users double-check &#8211; create YouTube content, engage on Reddit, or contribute to forums.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><code>\u25cf<\/code> <strong>Don\u2019t spam<\/strong>: Provide genuine value (e.g., helpful answers, quality videos) to build trust in these spaces.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><code>\u25cf<\/code> <strong>Actionable tip<\/strong>: For key topics, produce complementary content (e.g., a YouTube video for a blog post) to capture users seeking social proof.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Adapting Your SEO Strategy for the AIO Era<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>AIOs aren\u2019t the death of SEO, but they demand a pivot. Here are <strong>data-driven strategies<\/strong> to stay ahead:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><code>\u25cf<\/code> <strong>Shift Your KPIs from Rank to Visibility<\/strong>: Rankings are losing their edge. Track <strong>AIO visibility<\/strong> &#8211; are you cited in the AI summary? Are you a top source? Tools to monitor AIO presence are emerging, so stay tuned.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><code>\u25cf<\/code> <strong>Invest in Instant Trust Signals (Authority)<\/strong>: Bolster E-E-A-T with expert quotes, high-quality backlinks, and clear credentials. If users see you as trustworthy, they\u2019re more likely to click.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><code>\u25cf<\/code> <strong>Optimize Content for Skimmers and AI Extraction<\/strong>: Use <strong>headings, bullets, and concise summaries<\/strong> to make content AI- and user-friendly. FAQs or \u201cKey Takeaways\u201d boxes are gold for AIO inclusion.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><code>\u25cf<\/code> <strong>\u201cOwn\u201d the Validation Click (Reddit, YouTube, etc.)<\/strong>: Seed helpful content on platforms users turn to for confirmation. A YouTube channel or active Reddit presence can keep your brand in the loop.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><code>\u25cf<\/code> <strong>Adjust Strategies for Desktop vs. Mobile<\/strong>: Treat desktop as a <strong>branding play<\/strong> (AIO exposure) and mobile as a <strong>traffic driver<\/strong> (fight for top spots). Forecast lower desktop CTRs in your plans.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Conclusion: From Rank to <em>Visibility<\/em> \u2013 The New World of Search<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Growth Memo\u2019s UX study confirms it: search is now a visibility-driven trust economy. If you\u2019re not in the AIO (ideally near the top), you\u2019re invisible to many users. SEO isn\u2019t just about ranking #1 anymore &#8211; it\u2019s about being seen and trusted when Google\u2019s AI answers the query. Authority is the new king, so invest in E-E-A-T, optimize for AI inclusion, and meet users where they validate info. Need help adapting your SEO strategy for this AI-driven landscape?
