Search results that answer a query directly on the SERP without requiring a click to a website.
Zero-click searches are queries where the user gets the answer directly in the results (snippets, maps, knowledge panels, AI modules) and doesn’t click through. This can reduce traffic for informational queries, but it increases the importance of being cited and building brand demand.
