Organic Traffic
Visitors who reach your website through unpaid search engine results rather than ads or other channels.
Organic traffic refers to the visitors who land on your website by clicking an unpaid listing in search engine results. It is distinct from paid traffic (from ads), social traffic, and direct visits. Growing organic traffic is the core goal of most SEO work because it is essentially free and tends to be highly targeted.
You can track organic traffic in tools like Google Analytics and Google Search Console. Watching it over time tells you whether your SEO efforts are paying off, which pages attract visitors, and where there is room to grow.
