Our team collected data on the market share of each of the major generative AI chatbots in the U.S. as of March 10, 2026.

For the purposes of this study, the term “generative AI chatbot” refers to LLM-based web & mobile applications used by the public to seek answers or create content.

Our team compiled data from 16 unique sources to estimate ChatGPT’s usage as of March 2026. Because each source had a different methodology for calculating usage, our model used a weighted average of all sources, with the weights based on the source’s longevity, credibility, and reputed accuracy. Further, we applied our model to the trailing 12 months to create a picture of the last year’s ChatGPT usage trend.
The following table shares the number of unique users of ChatGPT as of March 2026. We break out standalone ChatGPT (website + app), Microsoft Copilot (which is powered by ChatGPT) and the combination of both. Afterwards, we share the 12 month trend.

When deciding between SEO agencies, we recommend asking the below questions before deciding on a partner. These questions are crafted through our experience meeting with clients, and extensive trial and error working with clients in several B2B SaaS niches.
| Question | Ideal Answer | Red Flags | Reasoning |
| What B2B SEO services do you provide? | “We place an emphasis on thought leadership content marketing, beginning with technical SEO, keyword research, and strategic SEO planning.” | “We only do technical SEO.”“We do initial keyword research and write a few blog articles each month” | If you want to get the most out of an SEO campaign in terms of ROI, technical SEO and some occasional blog articles will not be enough to improve domain authority and consistently drive lead growth. |
| How do you create SEO content? | “We provide each client a team of specialists, including an SME, graphic designer, conversion optimizer, and analytics specialist.” | “We have a team of on-staff copywriters who write for all our B2B SEO clients.” | Many SEO firms have teams of writers that create cookie-cutter content for a wide variety of content, which can compromise industry authority while reaping sub-par results. |
| How do you measure B2B SEO results? | “Our main KPI is marketing qualified leads (MQLs) or new revenue; secondary KPIs are rankings for commercially valuable keywords and traffic-to-lead conversion rate. We always strive to measure our success by our clients’ success.” | “We measure success based on search ranking positions and organic traffic.” | If an SEO firm only measures success by search placement and organic traffic, they will likely neglect vital SEO principles like conversion optimization essential to growing revenue. |
The best SEO firms will:
If a B2B SEO firm fails to meet one of these standards, they fail to achieve significant results, stripping SEO services of the channel’s uniquely high ROI. Combined with SEO’s relatively long lead time before seeing results, clients can be left dedicating months or years to a campaign that provides subpar outcomes.
