Ranking #1 isn’t the endgame anymore. With zero-click searches and voice assistants dominating, visibility now means showing up even when people don’t click.

‍

The Zero-Click Reality

Over 60% of searches end without a click (source: SimilarWeb). Why? Because Google gives the answer directly. Featured snippets, knowledge panels, People Also Ask — they steal clicks, but not visibility.

‍

Voice Search and Conversational SEO

“Ok Google, how do I…” is different from typing “best X 2025.” Voice queries are longer, conversational, and require clear, structured answers.

• Example: instead of “SEO tips,” optimize for “What are the best SEO tips for small businesses in 2025?”

‍

Real-World Inspiration

Local businesses in Romania have already felt the shift: Google’s AI Overviews feature was rolled out and then temporarily suspended in Romania, highlighting just how disruptive zero-click results can be. Meanwhile, voice search adoption is on the rise, particularly for finding local services (“near me” searches), making local SEO optimization and conversational content more critical than ever.
