▼ Summary
– Google Gemini’s referral traffic to websites more than doubled over a two-month period.
– ChatGPT’s referral traffic declined from its peak during the same timeframe.
– This data on AI tool traffic comes from an analysis by SE Ranking.
– The findings were reported in an article by Search Engine Journal.
– The report indicates Gemini now sends more traffic to sites than Perplexity AI.
Recent data from SE Ranking reveals a significant shift in how AI platforms direct users to external websites. Google Gemini has dramatically increased its role as a traffic source, more than doubling the volume of referrals it sends to other sites over a two-month period. This growth stands in sharp contrast to the trajectory of ChatGPT, which has seen a measurable decline from its previous peak levels.
The performance of Gemini notably surpasses that of another prominent AI, Perplexity, in terms of generating clicks to third-party content. This development highlights the evolving competitive dynamics within the AI search and assistant space, where the ability to drive real user engagement beyond the platform itself is becoming a key metric. The data suggests that Google’s integration and presentation of web sources within Gemini is effectively converting user queries into outgoing traffic, establishing it as a growing channel for website visibility.
