3) Google: Zero-Click Searches hit 68% in early 2026 A new study from SparkToro shows that Google zero-click searches hit 68% in early 2026. That means that only 30% of searches on Google are leading to external websites. If this isn’t part of your digital marketing strategy, it needs to be. You should be putting as much effort into how your business appears in Google and AI-powered search as you put into your website itself. Is your website traffic declining? It could be that customers are learning everything they need to about you from inside a Google search, without ever clicking on your website link.
