Organic traffic potential is search volume times the share of searchers you expect to click your result. You supply both numbers, so the estimate is only as strong as they are.

Also called: Keyword traffic potential calculator, SEO value calculator.

## Inputs
- Monthly search volume (default 12000)
- Expected click-through rate (unit %; default 8)
- Organic conversion rate (unit %; default 2; optional)
- Value per conversion (default 150; optional)
- Currency

## Results
- Estimated visits per month
- Estimated visits per year
- Estimated conversions per month
- Estimated value per month

## Formula

```
Visits = Search volume × CTR;  Conversions = Visits × Conversion rate;  Value = Conversions × Value per conversion;  Annual visits = Visits × 12
```

Where:
- Search volume: monthly searches for the target keywords
- CTR: clicks ÷ impressions you expect at your ranking position
- Conversion rate: conversions ÷ organic sessions

## Worked example
1. Visits = 12,000 × 8% = 960 a month (11,520 a year).
2. Conversions = 960 × 2% = 19.2.
3. Value = 19.2 × 150 = $2,880 a month.

**Result:** At an 8% CTR, 12,000 monthly searches would bring about 960 visits and $2,880 a month at your conversion rate and value.

## What the result means

Run it with a low and a high CTR to see a range, and use it to rank keyword opportunities against each other rather than as a promise of traffic.

## Assumptions and limits
- Search volume is steady across the year.
- You achieve and hold the ranking that produces the CTR entered.
- No click-through-rate curve is built in: CTR varies widely with search features, brand and intent, so it must come from your own data.
- Keyword tool volumes are estimates and are often rounded or grouped.

## Questions

### Where do I find my real CTR by position?

In Google Search Console’s performance report, filter to queries where your average position is close to the one you target.
