A company targeting \u201cCRM for SaaS\u201d might have a strong category page. Google may still use other sources when answering the longer query. One could provide integration information, another could offer a useful product comparison, while another might contain implementation data.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;335551550&quot;:6,&quot;335551620&quot;:6}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">This means the depth and breadth of a company&#8217;s information can influence its visibility across an AI-assisted search journey.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;335551550&quot;:6,&quot;335551620&quot;:6}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">There is another factor marketers need to account for: clicks.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;335551550&quot;:6,&quot;335551620&quot;:6}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Pew Research Center analyzed 68,879 Google searches conducted in March 2025. When an AI summary appeared, users clicked a traditional search result in 8% of visits. When there was no AI summary, that figure was 15%. Links included directly within AI summaries received clicks in only 1% of visits.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;335551550&quot;:6,&quot;335551620&quot;:6}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Ahrefs reached a similar directional conclusion using a different dataset. Its 2026 analysis estimated that the presence of an AI Overview correlated with a 58% lower click-through rate for the top-ranking organic result.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;335551550&quot;:6,&quot;335551620&quot;:6}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">The methodologies differ, so these figures should not be treated as universal CTR benchmarks. They do show why rankings and traffic alone provide an increasingly incomplete view of search performance.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;335551550&quot;:6,&quot;335551620&quot;:6}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">A business can rank strongly for an important query while Google answers a significant part of the user&#8217;s question directly within Search. At the same time, that business may appear as a cited or supporting source within the AI-generated response.<\/span><span
