(AKA The Holy Grail.)<\/p>\n<p>And one of the best ways to see if you\u2019re on the right track is <strong>knowing how big a slice of the attention pie you\u2019ve got<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>That, my friends, is traffic share in a nutshell.<\/p>\n<p>This is a comprehensive look into how to use traffic share data to boost your digital marketing strategies. We\u2019ll also show you how to get yourself a bigger slice of that attention pie using Similarweb <a href=\"https:\/\/www.similarweb.com\/corp\/web\/strategy\/\">Digital Marketing Intelligence<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Off we go.<\/p>\n<h2>What is traffic share?<\/h2>\n<p>A super straightforward way to define traffic share is <strong>the share of traffic that your website gets out of the total traffic in your industry<\/strong><strong><em>.<\/em><\/strong> But there\u2019s so much more nuance to it than that, so let\u2019s go into a little more detail.<\/p>\n<p>When it comes to traffic share in the digital world, it\u2019s not quite the honking, hustle and bustle of road traffic you join every day to get where you need to be. <em>Or is it?\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n<p>In many ways, understanding traffic share is very similar to how a car on the road (an individual internet user), drives to places like restaurants and shops (different websites) in a busy city (your industry).<\/p>\n<p>So if every website is a shop or restaurant in the city, then <strong>the number of cars that drive to <\/strong><strong><em>your <\/em><\/strong><strong>particular shop compared to the total number of cars driving around<\/strong> <strong>= your traffic share.<\/strong><\/p>\n<h2>How to calculate traffic share<\/h2>\n<p>Traffic share is calculated by <strong>dividing your website\u2019s visitors by the total number of visitors to all sites in your sector, then multiplied by 100<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Here are the formulas you can use to calculate traffic share for websites, marketing channels, and keywords:<\/p>\n<p><strong>Website: <\/strong>Traffic to a specific website \/ Total traffic to the competitive set x 100<\/p>\n<p><strong>Marketing Channel:<\/strong> Traffic generated by a specific marketing channel \/ Total traffic to the site x 100<\/p>\n<p><strong>Keyword: <\/strong>Traffic generated by a specific keyword \/ Total search traffic to the site x 100<\/p>\n<h2>Why is traffic share important?<\/h2>\n<p>What\u2019s all the fuss about? Why should you care how big or small your percentage is?<\/p>\n<p>In general, understanding your traffic share is a great indicator of how popular your website is compared to others within your sector or industry. <strong>It&#8217;s a snapshot of your relative <a href=\"https:\/\/www.similarweb.com\/blog\/research\/market-research\/market-positioning\/\">market position<\/a>, and whether your SEO, content marketing, social media, and other digital strategies are drawing in the right crowd.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Are you the front-runner, the underdog, or one of many smaller contenders? It goes without saying that the more popular your website, the more website visits, and sessions you receive, which in turn leads to more engagement, more conversions, more leads, more sales\u2026. You get it.<\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s more to it than gauging popularity, though. Here are just a few reasons why traffic share needs to be on your radar:<\/p>\n<h3>1) Spy on the competition<\/h3>\n<p>Knowing your traffic share lets you sneak a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.similarweb.com\/blog\/marketing\/marketing-strategy\/competitive-analysis\/\">peek into your competitors&#8217; performance<\/a>. If their slice of the pie is looking bigger than yours, it may be time to activate your inner Sherlock Holmes and find out why with a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.similarweb.com\/corp\/web\/competitive-analysis\/\">competitive analysis tool<\/a>. What are they doing differently?<\/p>\n<h3>2) Rethink your strategy<\/h3>\n<p>Whatever you discover that other companies are doing better can help guide your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.similarweb.com\/blog\/marketing\/marketing-strategy\/digital-marketing-strategy\/\">digital marketing strategy<\/a> back on track. It may be time to up your SEO game, rethink PPC ads, or mix things up with your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.similarweb.com\/blog\/marketing\/content-marketing\/content-marketing-strategy\/\">content strategy<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h3>3) Track the tides<\/h3>\n<p>Watching your traffic share over time is crucial for analyzing your marketing efforts.
