Why is Search Visibility declining but my Estimated Traffic is Increasing?
Estimated traffic and
search visibility are two metrics commonly seen in
research grid domains in the top summary box. Search visibility is the function of Estimated Traffic/Traffic Potential. Estimated traffic could increase when new keywords are added for example, but if the Traffic Potential for these keywords is much greater than the increase in Estimated Traffic, we would see Search Visibility decline.
| Metric | Month 1 | Month 2 | +/- % |
| Estd. traffic | 100 | 150 | 50% |
| Traffic Potential | 1000 | 2000 | 100% |
| Search Visibility | 10.00% | 7.50% | -25% |
