What organic traffic measures
Organic traffic is the sessions search engines send you without paid placement, split here into branded search, non-branded search, and other organic sources. Summing its sources gives both the channel total and the mix beneath it, so you can see not just how much organic traffic you have but where within the channel it originates.
Traffic sits at the top of the funnel, so this channel's level and growth bound every conversion and dollar that follows from it.
How to read your result
The headline is current organic traffic. The scenario lens then projects it at a benchmark and an optimized monthly growth rate, pricing the gap in concrete sessions so a growth target for the channel is explicit.
Use the source split to see which part of the channel to lean on.
Organic traffic sources
The channel's sub-sources behave differently. Treat these as orientation.
| Context | Typical median |
|---|---|
| Branded search | Existing demand & recall |
| Non-branded search | New discovery & intent |
| Other organic | Images, maps, video |
| Featured / AI results | Volatile, position-driven |
Levers that grow the channel
Non-branded growth comes from content and rankings; branded growth follows brand-building. Improve existing pages, target commercial intent, and earn authority — organic compounds once it takes hold. Model a higher growth rate as a scenario above to see the sessions it adds.
In context
Read organic traffic alongside the paid and social traffic tools and SEO ROI, which the related tools cover. Branded search often reflects demand created elsewhere, so separate it to judge true organic discovery.
