New Study from HigherVisibility Reveals How Search Behavior Is Changing in 2025
Saturday, February 15, 2025
HigherVisibility has released a new study revealing how search behavior is changing in 2025.
MEMPHIS, Tenn., Feb. 7, 2025 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Is Google losing its grip on search? With the rise of AI tools like ChatGPT and shifts in user behavior, many have speculated that traditional search is on the decline. A new study from HigherVisibility, How People Search Today: A Study on Evolving Search Behaviors, takes a data-driven look at how Americans are actually searching in 2025--and the results challenge many industry assumptions.
HigherVisibility surveyed 1,500 U.S. consumers to explore how search habits are evolving. While AI tools are gaining traction, they are not replacing traditional search engines. Instead, users are adapting their search behavior based on intent, blending platforms like Google, ChatGPT, and social media to find the information they need.
Key Insights from the Study:
-- 71.5% of respondents have used AI search tools, but only 14% rely on
them daily. AI is a tool for specific needs, not a full search engine
replacement.
-- Search behavior varies significantly by intent. Google still dominates
for general information and local searches, while AI tools are preferred
for detailed explanations, and social media plays a growing role in
product discovery.
-- Generational differences are smaller than expected. While younger users
lead AI adoption, older demographics are also experimenting with AI
tools.
"This research highlights that search isn't dying--it's diversifying," said Adam Heitzman, Co-Founder and Managing Partner of HigherVisibility. "Businesses need to understand how different platforms fit into the customer journey and optimize accordingly."
