AI Organic Search CTR Drops 18% to 34% as Google AI Overviews Answer Buyer Queries Without Clicks
Analysis of 50 B2B SaaS keywords tracked through Q1 2026 showed that pages holding top-three organic search rankings experienced click-through rate declines of 18% to 34% once AI-generated answers appeared above the fold — even when rankings and impressions held stable.
