Semrush Studied 10M+ Keywords

Semrush analyzed 10M+ keywords and 200K SERPs to understand how AI Overviews affect SEO, visibility, and clicks.

Informational Content at Risk

AI Overviews mostly appear in top-of-funnel queries, threatening traffic to informational blog posts and guides.

Click-through rates fall when AI answers everything. Zero-click behavior is growing—but not across the board.

High-Trust Topics Hit Hardest
