      Hi!

      I am curious what is the Moz equivalent of "potential traffic" metric in Ahrefs? Is there any keyword metric I can check in Moz to receive data on potential traffic rather than only volume?

      Thanks in advance!

        Potential traffic refers to the maximum number of visitors or users that a website, app, or physical location could attract under optimal conditions. It is a metric used in marketing and business planning to estimate audience reach, evaluate market demand, and estimate potential revenue streams. Understanding potential traffic helps businesses develop strategies to effectively attract visitors and convert them into customers.

          @tuvanlamdep said in Potential traffic:

          "My website is reported as being blocked from indexing by Google Search Console, but I don't know why. I haven't intentionally blocked indexing in the settings of WordPress, nor have I interfered with the default robot.txt file. My website is https://tuvanlamdep.org. Can anyone help me investigate?"

          As a i said earlier to install a SSL, so that users & google can trust your website. A SSL (Secure Socket Layer) plays a vital role in sending organic traffic by google. As Users & google trust a a website such as https://www.spotifycorner.com/ . On this website SSL has been installed, & it is helping in organic ranking from google.

            In Moz, the closest equivalent to Ahrefs' "potential traffic" metric is the "Organic CTR" data point in the Keyword Explorer tool.

            The Organic CTR shows the estimated click-through rate for a keyword based on its current ranking position. This provides an indication of the potential traffic a keyword could drive if your page ranks well for it.

            While Moz doesn't have an exact "potential traffic" metric like Ahrefs, the Organic CTR can give you a sense of the traffic opportunity for a keyword. The higher the Organic CTR, the more potential traffic you could get from ranking for that keyword.

            So in summary, Moz's Organic CTR is the closest approximation to Ahrefs' "potential traffic" metric when evaluating keyword opportunities. It provides an estimate of the click-through rate and traffic potential based on ranking position.

              Hi

              It seems like SSL has been disabled/not installed on your website. Install SSL first, so that your website can become secure for google & potential visitors.

                  @Siir In Moz, the equivalent of Ahrefs' "potential traffic" metric would be the "Estimated Clicks" metric. This provides an estimation of the total clicks you might receive if you rank organically for a particular keyword. So, to assess potential traffic in Moz, focus on the "Estimated Clicks" metric rather than just volume.

                    Hi @Siir,

                    In Moz, you'll find a metric called "Keyword Explorer," which we may say that is similar to the concept of "potential traffic" in Ahrefs.

                    Keyword Explorer helps you understand how hard it might be to rank for a specific keyword as it considers factors like search volume, competition, and the strength of top-ranking pages.

                    Also the Monthly Volume which is under Keyword Explorer, will help to estimate a potential traffic for a given keyword.

                    Hope that helps

                        Long tail traffic only to category, should we make the title keyword rich?

                        Hello, Some of my client's internal categories only rank for long tail terms. Should we make the title keyword rich or should we stick to one very small keyword phrase and use that as the title. Also, is there any reason to write a full 500 words for category descriptions on weak, internal categories(PA 15)? Thanks

                        How do I do SEO for a client who is starting a website that is in a niche with very little to none search traffic?

                        I am helping a client do On-page optimization and link building. His website is rather like thoughtcatalog.com, where it is a collection of random articles, opinions and anecdotes with no fixed genre. He also has a section devoted to artsy pictures of women. To make things worse, I am in a country (singapore) where the population is small, and the search traffic for his kind of content is minuscule. I have trouble finding out good keywords for him to target and I am considering not undergoing any serious keyword targeting at all (because it will detract from the style of his content). I did a little competitor research, and most of the websites in such a genre do not seem to do any keyword targeting at all! In such a case, how do i continue to help him with SEO? should I abandon keyword research? What should i do to help him earn traffic?

                        Big discrepancy between search volume and actual traffic

                        I've been seeing this more and more... a page that ranks well for a great keyword but the traffic is much, much less than one would expect based on information from the Google Keyword Tool. The keyword gets 3600 searches locally, but the site, #9 on the SERP, got 11 visits last month. Does that sound like a plausible drop-off or is there something else at play? Thanks!

                        How to find keywords getting significant traffic

                        How can we  check with the Google Keyword Tool to figure out which keywords are getting significant traffic. Needs explanation for the bolded part. I am referring to the Q and A at - http://www.seomoz.org/q/is-there-a-report-in-seomoz-that-will-show-me-what-keywords-each-page-ranks-for-on-my-site The best way to see the information you're looking for is to take all keywords that sent you an organic search visit for a given time period in your analytics and run them through a rank checker. You can then cross-check this data with the Google Keyword Tool to figure out which keywords are getting significant traffic.

                        Keyword Traffic Estimator Tools

                        Hello, I'm relatively new to SEO and looking to find a good tool for estimating the search traffic volume of different keywords in order to focus efforts on higher yielding terms. Right now I'm using Google's traffic estimator but it doesn't seem to have much data for long-tail keywords. Is anything else out there better or more accurate? Thank you!
