Do visitors from LLMs stick around longer or less than traditional search engines?
Based on data from 300 businesses, people from LLMs like ChatGPT stay for an average of 2 minutes and 13 seconds.
Visitors from traditional search engines like Google stay for 1 minute and 37 seconds.
You won’t get as much traffic from LLMs, but the traffic tends to be stickier.
Heads-up, this should jump the traffic levels in GA4 and other analytics tools for ChatGPT. That's because ChatGPT finally added utm parameters for "More" sources versus just the citations. Those links used to be standard links without utm parameters. Now they contain utm_source=chatgpt. I'll be checking analytics shortly, but I'm sure I'll find an uptick for chatgpt... :)

"As part of the changes, Amazon will use AI to rewrite product listings that are deemed non-compliant and replace such content with “compliant, high-quality bullet points,” according to the forum post. "We’ll share any AI-generated quality-related improvements with you for review before we publish them to your listings,” the company also said. The changes will go into effect on Aug. 15. https://t.co/vT9Iy3Zsvg
