Google AI Mode queries grow fast, but monetization still trails traditional search
What happened
The Verge reported on November 4 that Google's AI Mode queries are growing strongly, but monetization still lags traditional search, and the company has not shown the new search format can be profitable. In the third quarter, Google search revenue growth slowed to 12% year over year from about 17% the prior quarter, and paid-click growth fell to 8% from 13%. Google says exchange rates were the main cause of the slowdown, with the AI shift also playing a part. AI Mode query growth has not yet come with monetization on par with traditional search.
