Our latest research study delves into the volatility of Google’s search results, focusing on AI Overviews, organic rankings, and SERP layout shifts. Over a two-to-three-month period, we found that 70% of ranking pages in AI Overviews change, highlighting a significant fluctuation compared to organic rankings. Interestingly, AI Overview rankings and snippets evolve independently of organic results, and changes in SERP layout have minimal impact on ranking stability. With AI-generated search results constantly shifting, understanding SERP volatility is critical for SEO strategies. Read our full report to explore key insights, methodology, and actionable takeaways.

This unique AI Overview research conducted with Dave Cousin (DavetheSEO & Co.) analysed 10,000+ keywords to reveal how AI Overviews appear differently across search intents. Problem-solving and specific question intents dominate AIO appearances (74% and 69% respectively), while topic research shows surprisingly low rates (3.37%). The findings suggest SEOs should prioritise intent-specific optimisation strategies, especially for problem-solving and specific question content.

Our analysis of over 60 million keywords reveals that Google groups all search volumes into just 60 predetermined buckets, making search volume data far less precise than most SEO professionals realize. By examining monthly search volumes across all countries, we discovered that keywords need to show dramatic changes (often 20-30%) before moving to a different bucket, explaining why many search volumes appear static for months.
