Results: how search traffic has grown

Four examples of how clicks from Google Search develop when a website’s content and technology are improved to a plan.

How to read the charts

The line shows how many clicks the website received from Google Search during each month. The figures come from Google Search Console. The most recent month, which is still in progress, is not included.

Search traffic also reflects seasons and holiday periods. In many industries people search less in July and around Christmas, and that is to be expected. That is why we always look at a longer period than a single month.

Example 1: traffic grew almost sixfold in 11 months

The first months go into groundwork, and the line does not move much yet. In spring the work starts to show, and over the summer growth is fast. By autumn traffic has settled at a new level several times higher.

Example 2: traffic almost doubled in 15 months

This is what long-term work looks like. Growth is fastest during the first six months, and after that traffic holds steadily at the new level through the holiday periods too.

Example 3: traffic doubled in five months

When the foundation of a website is in order, results can show quickly. In this example traffic grew steadily month by month from summer to autumn.

Example 4: growth in step with the seasons

In this industry search quietens around Christmas and during the July holiday season, and the line shows it. The overall direction is still clearly upward: traffic grew by more than 60 per cent in 15 months.
