    THE SHIFT

    Most Searches End Before Anyone Clicks

    The majority of Google searches now end without the user clicking on any result. They get their answer directly from the search results page — through featured snippets, People Also Ask boxes, knowledge panels, and AI Overviews.

    For most businesses, this feels like a threat. For businesses optimized for Answer Engine Optimization, it's the single biggest competitive advantage available in search today.

    When your content is the featured snippet, you don't need the click. You've already delivered your brand, your expertise, and your answer directly to the searcher. You're positioned as the authority. And when they do need more — when they're ready to buy, hire, or contact — you're the name they remember.
