Organic search traffic fell only 2.5 percent, not the 25 percent collapse some forecasters claim
Position Digital reviewed 150 AI SEO statistics from Previsible data covering February 2024 to November 2025. Organic traffic declined 2.5 percent across tracked domains. The study focused on YMYL verticals and rejected predictions of 25 to 50 percent drops.
Marketers stop chasing phantom traffic crashes and instead audit real ranking factors. They allocate budget to measurable tasks rather than speculative panic fixes. The result is steadier campaign planning.
Position Digital published the dataset at position.digital/blog/ai-seo-statistics and showed clients that traffic remained stable after algorithm updates.
Step 1: Visit https://www.position.digital/blog/ai-seo-statistics and download the CSV of 150 statistics. Step 2: Filter rows for your vertical and compare your site traffic change against the 2.5 percent benchmark. Step 3: Adjust quarterly targets in your analytics dashboard to match the observed decline rather than the rumored collapse.
