What these figures measure
Statcounter uses its website network and search-engine referrals. This is not a census of every search, a query-volume count or a complete measure of AI-answer usage. Coverage, platform and territory matter. Review the provider’s methodology before comparing it with another study.

Turn the comparison into a decision
The table is a reason to examine the engines your audience actually uses. It is not a rule for mechanically allocating a budget. Compare your own qualified visits, countries and landing pages using equivalent dates and definitions. An engine missing from this abbreviated table is not necessarily irrelevant to your business.
