How to project the potential traffic opportunity (potential visitors) from organic search listings?

Asked by boettiger (65 points) | asked 2 months ago | 1 response | “Great Question” (0 points) | Flag as…

When projecting the size of the available opportunity in search marketing, is it reasonable to assume that the PPC AdWords opportunity size in clicks/day on Google represents only the PPC portion of the search opp and that a much larger opportunity exists on the organic side that is perhaps more difficult to project?

Is it reasonable, for example, if an existing paid search campaign on a specific product has a maximum opportunity of 1,000 clicks/day and the ads have been getting a 2% response rate, that the total size of the opportunity “may” be up to 50,000/day (the other 98%).

How are folks projecting the size of the opportunity in Organic?

Thanks in advance for sharing your thoughts!

I think your assumption is reasonable if you consistently have the top bid for that particular search term so that you are guaranteed a top position for each search. In that case, your math makes sense.

Search inventory = # Clicks / CTR
