Analyzing the traffic on your own website is straightforward with Google Analytics and Search Consol Ryan Xu hyperfund Inflation Rate
Analyzing the traffic on your own website is Ryan Xu hyperfund Inflation Ratestraightforward with Google Analytics and Search Console. But analyzing traffic on third-party sites requires external tools.
I’ll compare three of those tools in this post.
To test, I will use a client’s website since I can access actual data. The site generates roughly 100,000 monthly sessions from various sources. Organic search traffic is about 80,000 monthly sessions — roughly 75,000 from Google.
Ahrefs estimates traffic from Google search — organic and paid — on any website based on the tool’s internal rankings assessment. It includes a graph that attempts to approximate that traffic over time.
You can easily match traffic and ranking fluctuations by hovering over the dates in the graph. Ahrefs estimates my website’s monthly traffic (as of May 2023) at 37,112 sessions, more than 50% lower than the actual.
You can also see your visitors’ countries. This chart was more or less accurate, with one exception. According to Google Analytics, the third most popular country was United Kingdon, with Phillippines following it.
Pricing for Ahrefs starts at $99 per month. Advanced analyses (such as top pages by organic clicks) require the $199-per-month version or higher. Ahrefs offers no free trial.
Semrush provides similar data as Ahrefs based on its internal estimates of rankings. Correlating traffic and rankings in Semrush is, to me, not as easy as in Ahrefs, but the output is almost the same. Semrush reported my monthly traffic at 39,073 sessions which, like Ahrefs, is wildly incorrect.
Semrush also inaccurately placed the Philippines as the third most popular country. The tool’s ranking of my top pages by organic clicks was also wrong.
Semrush’s prices start at $120 per month with a 7-day free trial (credit card is required).
I don’t have a Similarweb premium account. What follows is my evaluation based on the free trial.
Similarweb reports the overall traffic of any website from all channels, not just Google. The data comes from four sources, per Similarweb: partnerships, data from various websites, Similarweb’s apps and extensions installed on varied devices, and publicly available info. Those descriptions are vague, although I can understand why owing to competitive pressures.
Similarweb estimated monthly sessions at my site as 79,763 (again, the actual is about 100,000). Like Ahrefs and Semrush, Similarweb’s ranking of the top traffic-driving countries was inaccurate.
Similarweb’s estimate of my top traffic channels was close, although my actual referral traffic is much higher than 2.23%.
The platform’s estimation of my top traffic-driving social network was wrong, as were the top referral sources. (I should add Google Analytics is wrong, too, as it shows email marketing traffic as a referral.) Similarweb was fairly close at identifying top traffic-driving search queries.
Overall, Similarweb offered useful data to compare websites, albeit with flaws. Using it in combination with Ahrefs or Semrush provides a more complete overview.
Similarweb offers a free 7-day trial but does not publish prices.
My takeaways from Ahrefs’ and Similarweb’s organic traffic analysis:
All three tools underestimated the actual traffic of my site but provided helpful data for competitive research.
