Google Zero-Click search study: for every 1,000 searches, 360 go to the open web

SparkToro and Datos (a Semrish company) have compared searches that end with a click with those that don’t, giving us insight into the former too:

Here are the key numbers (for American searches):

• 41.5% of searches feature a click (70.5% of which go to the open web, 1% to ads, and the rest to Google properties)
• 37.1% end up with.. no click
• 21.4% end up with another search

So, 58.5% are considered Zero-Click searches.
