Count Organic Traffic

To calculate Organic Search Traffic, count the number of visitors that arrive at your website through unpaid search engine results.

Best Practices

Segment by landing page to identify high-performing content, and track conversions to evaluate traffic quality. Regularly update content to maintain rankings, focusing on high-converting keywords and topics, and monitor algorithm changes to adapt accordingly. Make sure to optimise for mobile, as it's a significant ranking factor.

Common Misconceptions

Don't equate high OST with high quality traffic; quantity does not imply a qualified or conversion-ready audience without considering behavioural metrics. A smaller volume of highly targeted traffic can be more valuable than large volumes of unqualified visitors.
