Google Denies AI Search Features Are Killing Traffic to Publishers’ Sites

Google has recently denied claims that the shift to AI search features and the use of AI chatbots are negatively impacting traffic to publishers’ websites. In a blog post by Google VP and Head of Search, Liz Reid, the search giant stated that total organic click volume from its search engine to websites has remained relatively stable year-over-year, with an increase in average click quality.

Despite Google’s assertions, the company acknowledges that user behaviors are changing, leading to a shift in traffic from some sites to others. While AI chatbots like ChatGPT are gaining traction, Google maintains that the search landscape is not significantly being reshaped by AI features.

Google has been incorporating AI into its search engine for years, offering AI Overviews at the top of search results and enabling interactions with AI chatbots for certain queries. However, the company suggests that users are now gravitating towards sites with forums, videos, podcasts, and authentic content for their information needs.

Interestingly, Google revealed that social media platforms like TikTok and Instagram have been competing with its core products like Search and Maps for user attention. The company has also made efforts to enhance Google Shopping and address user concerns about declining search quality.

While Google emphasizes the increase in average click quality and opportunities for websites to gain exposure through AI features, reports indicate a rise in zero-click searches leading to a decline in traffic to news websites. Moreover, Google has introduced new tools for publishers to monetize their traffic through alternative means like micropayments and newsletter sign-ups.

Despite these developments, Google’s reassurances that AI is not the sole cause of declining search traffic may not alleviate concerns among publishers. The company’s efforts to support publishers in adapting to changing user behaviors reflect the evolving landscape of online search and content consumption.
