FAQ

Competitor Analysis: common questions

How accurate are traffic estimates?

They are estimates: rankings × search volume × the expected click-through rate. They are good for comparing competitors and spotting trends, not for exact visit counts. How traffic is estimated.

Do you show referral, direct or social traffic?

No. Our estimates cover search (organic and paid) only. We do not use clickstream data, so we do not show other channels for other people’s sites.

Can I save a competitor report?

Yes. Save Site Explorer reports, take snapshots and compare them later, or export any table to CSV.
