Frequently Asked Questions

Strengths

Every figure carries its publisher and year, so a number survives the follow-up question in a meeting.
It keeps the small-but-real findings, like AI referral traffic driving 12.1% more signups off 0.5% of total visitors.
Where the research is thin, the page says so instead of filling the gap.

Limitations

Slate is a TripleDart product and sells AI visibility tracking.
Most figures are other people's, so the sampling and definitions vary between rows.
A statistics page ages fast, and several of these come from 2025 datasets.

Skip this if

Skip it if you already keep a sourced statistics doc for AI search and update it each quarter.
