2026, SEO is no longer the same, and our SEO agency in Montreal becomes a AEO agency, as our expertise expands. A few figures to whet your appetite:<\/p>\n

ChatGPT now handles more than 2.5 billion<\/strong> queries per day and exceeds one billion weekly active users, (yes, billion), a figure that, in some segments (especially 18-34 year olds), far exceeds that of Google. Perplexity, on the other hand, continues to grow by 25% per month and is becoming the daily reflex of hundreds of thousands of Quebec professionals and consumers who want accurate, sourced and instant answers.<\/p>\n

En d\u00e9cembre 2025, les chiffres de Seer Interactive, sur 25,1 millions d’impressions organiques entre juin 2024 et septembre 2025, r\u00e9v\u00e8lent que le CTR organique s’effondre de 65%<\/a> (de 1,76% \u00e0 0,61%) sur les requ\u00eates o\u00f9 Google affiche un AI Overview. Le CTR pay\u00e9 s’effondre de 68% sur ces m\u00eames requ\u00eates.
\nCette diminution est comparable au Qu\u00e9bec o\u00f9 Google pr\u00e9sente l’AI Overview sur 58% des recherches desktop et 71% mobile.<\/p>\n

\"SEO<\/p>\n

Where has organic traffic gone?<\/h2>\n

In other words, traditional organic traffic is rapidly turning into zero-click searches. The user has their answer in the AI interface, sometimes with your brand prominently displayed, sometimes with that of your smartest competitor. Being first on Google is worth nothing if you are not cited, picked up and recommended by ChatGPT<\/a>, Perplexity or AI Overviews.<\/p>\n

For Montreal businesses, it’s simple: if your brand isn’t named in the answers from ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini or AI Overviews, you lose 30 to 60% of your organic visibility, even with impeccable classic SEO.<\/p>\n
