The Great Declick

We studied 18 B2B accounts using first-party Google Search Console data, comparing Q2 2025 to Q2 2026. Informational click-through rates fell 38% year over year with ranking position held constant. 82% of page-one informational queries now produce near-zero clicks. Branded search was essentially flat. The data has direct implications for how B2B teams measure and invest in organic search.
