What is Zero Click? And how does it affect businesses and their SEO\/PPC strategies?<\/p>\n

Semrush\u2019s Marcus Tober joins me on the SEJ Show to discuss Semrush\u2019s recent Zero Click study and how this fits into a growing trend in Google.<\/p>\n

Get insights on how Zero Click reshapes expectations of traffic, multi-touch attribution, and other traditional Google KPIs.<\/p>\n

Zero Clicks for us means there was an initial search and nothing after that. There was no continuation. And we did is we defined a session in a two-minute window.<\/em> \u2013Marcus Tober, 09:42<\/p>\n

The biggest pivot probably in the past decade is that, to your point, someone may click on Google Maps, someone may click on Google Images, but that doesn\u2019t necessarily mean that you\u2019re not reaching the business goal of that user.<\/em> \u2013Loren Baker, 12:44<\/p>\n

As a marketer, we should aim for areas with a hybrid strategy. We need to show up for these transactional commercial searches, even if we know we don\u2019t get to click. We need visibility. We also need to invest in content that might trigger different search results, like, featured snippets, or maybe show up in more visual searches because we have lots of visual content.<\/em> \u2013Marcus Tober, 19:59<\/p>\n[00:00] \u2013 About Marcus.

Zero Click may mean Google may have answered the user straight away. So there was no need for the user to click to continue anything else.<\/em>\u2013Marcus Tober, 11:24<\/p>\n

I truly believe Google has now found enough motivation to compete against Amazon. That\u2019s why they\u2019re investing so much in all these different ecommerce integrations.<\/em>\u2013Marcus Tober, 36:58<\/p>\n

SEO will be very important in the near end and long term if we understand from which perspectives users are coming. Don\u2019t only optimize on transactional keywords because you can convert this traffic easily in SEO. And then, suddenly, Google launches popular products with checkout, and you lose every traffic. It would help if you diversified to succeed in SEO.<\/em>\u2013Marcus Tober, 23:45<\/p>\n
