Google’s AI Overviews are reducing clicks to traditional search results by up to 34%.

A recent Ahrefs study sent waves through the SEO and digital marketing world.

That’s a significant shift.

This can look alarming, especially for content marketing teams, but let’s look at what this really tells us: AI is doing exactly what it promised: saving time, improving efficiency, and delivering direct answers.

The Rise of AI-Powered Answers

Think about how you use Google. If AI can summarize the top 10 articles into one reliable paragraph, why wouldn’t you find it useful and time saving?

While that’s tough news for some content-driven sites, it’s also a wake-up call: the future of information is not about where it comes from, but how fast and accurately it gets to the right person.

This shift isn’t the death of search, it’s evolution. And it’s a signal to businesses: you need to think about AI not as competition, but as a tool.

So How Does This Impact Your Business?

This shift also means that content marketing hasn’t died, it’s just changed. Instead of focusing purely on ranking for broad, simple keywords, we now need to think deeper about what people are actually asking. If your blog post answers can be summarized in a single sentence, chances are Google’s AI will do just that, and your content won’t get the click.

For example, a question like “What is a CRM?” will likely be answered instantly by AI with a brief definition. But a more strategic, layered question like “How do I choose the right CRM for a scaling B2B business with remote teams?” requires context, comparison, and nuance, something your blog post can deliver better than an AI summary. This is the kind of content that still earns clicks, trust, and conversions.

Most companies still waste countless hours digging through files, platforms, and dashboards to find the data they need. If AI can give users the right answer in one click, why are we still clicking through endless spreadsheets just to find last month’s sales data or a customer’s status update?
