The customer who finds you through ChatGPT is roughly nine times more likely to buy. Your problem is not traffic. Your problem is not being found by AI.

In this Fargo Walks episode, Jeff Fargo explains why the gap is that wide. Someone who reaches your site from an AI answer has already had the comparison done for them. The AI narrowed the field and handed them a short list. They arrive at the end of the decision, not the start of it.
Google traffic arrives earlier. More of it, further from the buy.
The numbers come from Seer Interactive, which measured 15.9% conversion from ChatGPT referrals against 1.76% from Google organic, October 2024 through April 2025. Read it as directional. It is one client's data, AI sent under one tenth of one percent of that site's traffic, and Seer itself points out those visitors were already high intent.
The direction is what matters. Small numbers of AI-referred buyers convert at rates ordinary search traffic does not touch.
