Details

A study analyzing 101,574 websites found that Claude's referral traffic share grew 386% in 4 months.

Currently, ChatGPT (78.23%) dominates the AI referral traffic market, followed by Perplexity (9.33%), Gemini (6.85%), and others. Claude holds a 1.40% share, but shows a clear differentiator in growth rate and usage patterns.

The key lies not in traffic volume but in the shift in usage patterns. Users are leveraging Claude not just for simple information search, but as a tool for actually performing work such as coding, data analysis, and automation. This is reflected in Claude Code's DAU doubling and enterprise subscriptions growing 4x.

As a result, business strategies are also changing. Beyond simply getting AI to cite one's own brand (Citation), integrating data into Claude's workflow via MCP (Model Context Protocol) has become important. Recently, Booking, Spotify, Instacart, and others have been attempting similar connections.
