ChatGPT is now a standard part of how people use the web, as one piece of a complex, interconnected search journey. We dug into 17 months of clickstream data to map how ChatGPT usage is changing, how referral traffic is growing, and where that traffic goes. If you're a marketer, understanding how your audience uses ChatGPT and where it exists in this buyer journey is critical for understanding how best to reach them. Key takeaways: • Outbound referral traffic from ChatGPT to the rest of the web grew 206% in 2025. • Over 30% of all referral traffic from ChatGPT goes to 10 domains. And over 20% goes to Google. • ChatGPT enables its search feature on just 34.5% of queries as of February 2026 – down from 46% in late 2024 – meaning most responses still rely on training data alone. • Users are asking more prompts per session. After 12 months of flat engagement, average queries per session jumped 50% in the last four months of our study period. Full study: social.semrush.com/4bYbFdX.

Google released a major update to the Universal Commerce Protocol (UCP) in March 2026. UCP is an open standard that enables AI agents to communicate with ecommerce platforms and complete purchases on behalf of users. For example, when a user asks Gemini, “Find the best running shoes under $100,” the AI agent can run a search, browse products across retailers, and present relevant options. With user approval, it can then complete the purchase – all enabled by UCP. The March 2026 update introduces new capabilities, including cart support and access to product catalogs. Google has also simplified onboarding through Merchant Center to attract more retailers. UCP-powered checkout is currently available to eligible U.S.-based merchants, with global expansion planned throughout 2026. Here's how to prepare your business now: social.semrush.com/4rU7tRj.

In September 2025, ChatGPT suddenly began citing Reddit and Wikipedia – two of its most frequent sources – far less frequently. SEOs were quick to point out a correlation between the decline and a change in how Google serves search results. But is that really the cause? We analyzed prompt data across LLMs to see exactly what happened: social.semrush.com/4oLBEZl.

Today, we are excited to introduce a new feature in the Search Console Performance report: weekly and monthly views. developers.google.com/search… This new functionality allows you to adjust the time aggregation of any of the performance charts, helping you smooth out daily changes and focus on the overall trend of traffic to your website.
