Website owners and marketers are experiencing significant drops in both SEO? and paid search traffic as AI Overviews and zero-click results answer user queries directly on the SERP?. Rankings and impressions may hold steady or even improve, yet actual clicks and sessions are declining sharply—sometimes by 50-100% year-over-year. Existing analytics tools don't isolate AI-driven traffic loss from other factors, leaving marketers unable to diagnose, quantify, or respond effectively.
A monitoring platform that integrates with Google Search Console, Google Ads, and web analytics to automatically detect which queries and pages are losing clicks to AI Overviews and zero-click results. It quantifies the revenue impact of lost traffic, identifies which content is most vulnerable, and recommends specific recovery actions—such as restructuring content for click-through, shifting budget to less AI-impacted queries, or diversifying to alternative traffic channels.
Google's AI Overviews rolled out broadly in 2025 and are rapidly expanding across query types, accelerating zero-click search behavior. Marketers are seeing the impact in real-time but lack dedicated tooling to measure and respond to this specific, fast-growing threat to their primary growth channel.

A client doesn’t really care that an AI crawler requested their pricing page 80 times. They care whether people eventually show up. The more useful view seems to be bot activity + human traffic from AI together, which is something we’ve been looking at through Lightsite AI. One shows what’s being accessed, the other gives you a signal that something is actually being surfaced. Still early, but much easier to explain than a made-up visibility score.
Answer Engine Optimization (AEO): The AI Search Podcast Let's get into the mechanics then. How does Google Search Console actually help us diagnose this, and what does it tell us about how AI systems are evaluating content? [Guest] This is where the diagnostic really shines, and it’s why Search Console is so central to the 'it's just S.E.O.' Argument. Per Goodie, the workflow is straightforward: You open Google Search Console, and you identify your highest-impression, lowest-CTR pages. These pages are the ones being surfaced in AI Overviews where users aren't clicking through. They are the highest-priority candidates for what's sometimes called A.I.O. Optimization. This is the operational basis: AI visibility is measured using the same tools and metrics – impressions, CTR – as traditional S.E.O.
