What is the average user time on Google's search results?

Dejan Marketing team surveyed 1,500 Australian Google users and asked how long they review search results before they decide which website to visit.

• 53% of our respondents stated they take up to five seconds
• 25% click between six and ten seconds
• 16% take longer, up to half a minute
• 6% up to a minute
• 1% over a minute
• The remainder has been filtered out as nonsensical

With nearly 80% of Google users making their selection within ten seconds, it becomes clear that snippet attractiveness plays incredibly important role as a traffic generator. Things that impact snippet attractiveness include:

• User Intent Match
• Special Features
• Snippet Geometry
• Content Clarity
• Brand Recognition
• Power Words
• Differentiation
