Zero-Click Search

When users get answers directly from AI without clicking through to websites.

DEFINITION

What is Zero-Click Search?

Zero-click search refers to queries where users get complete answers from AI without needing to visit external websites. AI assistants provide synthesized answers, potentially reducing website traffic for informational queries. This makes being mentioned and cited in AI responses increasingly important—if users don't click through, you need visibility in the response itself.

IN PRACTICE

We optimize for visibility in zero-click responses, ensuring your brand is present even when users don't visit your site.

WHY IT MATTERS

As AI provides more complete answers, traditional traffic may decline for informational queries. Being mentioned in zero-click responses maintains visibility even without website visits.

EXAMPLES
01

AI fully answering 'What's the best email marketing tool?'

02

Users getting product comparisons without visiting comparison sites

03

Complete how-to answers without clicking to tutorials
