AI Search Traffic Is Down!

from Total Authority Podcast: Be the Brand that AI Recommends · host totalauthority

AI adoption is exploding — so why is AI referral traffic going down? In this video, we break down new Ahrefs data across 75,000 websites, why AI assistants may be sending fewer direct clicks, and what the rise in direct traffic could really mean. The big shift isn’t just traffic volume — it’s intent, trust, and brand discovery. AI may not always send clicks, but when it does, those visitors can be far more valuable than traditional Google traffic.   🔗 Resources 👇 Get your AI Visibility Audit: ►► https://totalauthority.com/llm-visibility-audit Free AI Visibility Gap Calculator: ►► https://totalauthority.com/llm-visibility-gap-calculator   AI visibility is becoming the new front door to search.   #AIVisibility #SEO #AISEO #ChatGPT #DigitalMarketing
