SEO
Organic Traffic
The short answer
Organic traffic is visitors who arrive at your website from unpaid search engine results, as opposed to paid ads, social media, or direct visits.

It's the primary metric SEO work aims to grow, though as zero-click search and AI Overviews expand, organic traffic alone increasingly understates real visibility — some queries now get answered without a click at all.
