AI Overview Impact by Search Intent

Real data from 1,403 keyword rankings across 29 domains

Most Affected

Informational
56%
"how to...", "what is...", "why does..."

Users seeking answers get them directly from AI. Focus on unique insights AI can't summarize.

Commercial
56%
"best...", "X vs Y", "top 10...", "review"

Comparison content is increasingly summarized. Add original testing and proprietary data.

Safer Zones

Transactional
56%
"buy...", "pricing", "download", "sign up"

Users need to click through to complete actions. These keywords remain valuable.

Navigational
56%
"[brand] login", "[company] support"

Users want a specific site. Your brand keywords are generally protected.

Key Takeaway: Even top-ranking keywords lose 40-60% of clicks when AI Overviews appear. Focus on keywords where users still need to visit your site.
