User engagement metrics, including average session duration and bounce rate, reveal how effectively your AI-optimized content addresses visitor questions. When visitors spend more time on your site and interact with multiple answer-driven sections, it's an indicator that your pages are ranking well in AI overviews and delivering relevant value. Monitoring organic lead inquiries tied to specific service keywords further strengthens campaign targeting.
