In 2024, according to the American Customer Satisfaction Index (ACSI), the quality and reliability of mobile apps were identified as the most satisfying factors for U.S. customers using internet portals and search engines. Although all aspects saw improvements from the previous year, privacy and the presence of ads on the site received the lowest ratings in 2024, as each scored 79 out of 100 index points. Overall customer satisfaction with internet search engines and information reached 80 out of 100 points in the United States in 2024, and is one of the highest ratings ever registered for these platforms.

Supplementary notes
The source adds the following information: "The ACSI Search and Social Media Study 2024 is based on interviews with randomly chosen respondents who were contacted via email between July 2023 and June 2024. Those are asked to evaluate their recent experiences with the largest search/information and social media websites regarding visitor traffic, plus an aggregate category consisting of 'all other'— and thus smaller—websites in those categories."
