Google Search ConsoleComing soon
Find the searches
that pay off.
Connect Search Console to see the Google search terms behind your traffic, next to the revenue traffic.cx already measures. Find the terms that earn money, not just the ones that bring clicks.
The integration is being built and is not in the dashboard yet. This page describes the plan; details may change before launch.
| Search term | Clicks | Position | Est. revenue |
|---|---|---|---|
| invoice app for freelancers/pricing | 240 | 6.2 | $720 |
| freelance invoicing software/pricing | 100 | 8.9 | $300 |
| recurring invoice tool/pricing | 60 | 11.4 | $180 |
| free invoice template/blog/invoice-template | 520 | 3.1 | No revenue |
/pricing earned $1,200 from Google visitors. Each term gets a share by its clicks: 240 of 400 clicks is 60%, so $720. The template page brings the most clicks and no revenue.
In your dashboard
Search terms next to your visits
A Search terms report sits beside Sources and Pages. It follows the dashboard’s date range and filters, so filtering to one page shows the searches that led people there.
- Search terms
- What people typed into Google before they saw or clicked your site.
- Clicks
- How often someone clicked through to your site from the results.
- Impressions
- How often your site appeared in someone’s results.
- CTR
- Click-through rate: the share of impressions that became clicks.
- Average position
- Where you usually rank for a term. Lower is better; 1 is the top.
- Estimated revenue
- Roughly how much revenue each term brings, worked out from your pages’ measured revenue.
Our take
Revenue per search term, honestly estimated
Search tools usually stop at clicks. traffic.cx already links payments to the visits that brought them, so it can estimate what each search term is worth.
- 01
Measure each page’s revenue
Add up the revenue from visits that arrived from Google Search and landed on that page.
- 02
Split it by clicks
Share that revenue across the search terms that sent clicks to the page, in proportion to each term’s clicks.
- 03
Add up each term
A term’s estimate is its share across every page it brought people to, shown with revenue per 1,000 impressions.
It is always labelled estimated. Google doesn’t say which visitor searched what, so the estimate assumes every click on a page is worth the same. The page’s measured revenue is shown alongside, and terms whose pages earned nothing show “—”, not $0.
Nothing about individual visitors
Google groups Search Console data before it reaches us: totals of clicks and impressions for each search term, page, country, device and day. traffic.cx stores those totals and works the estimate out from totals too. It never ties a search to a person, a visit or a payment.
Access is read-only: traffic.cx can’t change anything in your Search Console. Read the privacy details.
What you’ll need
Your site verified in Google Search Console, and a Google account with Owner or Full user permission on that property. In traffic.cx, a team member who manages the site connects it; everyone on the team can read the report.
Estimated revenue also needs the tracker installed and your payments connected.
Know the limits of Google’s data
It runs 2–3 days behind
Google publishes search data a few days late and keeps revising the most recent days. The report says so when your date range includes them.
Rare searches are hidden
Google leaves out terms that very few people searched, to protect their privacy. The terms you see can add up to fewer clicks than Google’s total for a page.
A click isn’t a visit
Google counts the click; traffic.cx counts the visit when the page loads. Visitors who leave early or block scripts appear in one and not the other.
Only searches you appeared in
Search Console reports terms your site was shown for. It doesn’t show how often people search for terms where you don’t appear.
Start measuring revenue today
Search Console isn’t available yet; which plans include it will be confirmed at launch. Revenue attribution works now, so the revenue your search terms will be matched against starts building up from your first tracked visit.
