How to Review a Course's Website Traffic & SEO

Read a single course's public page performance — Google Analytics traffic, Search Console clicks, and top search queries — from its Analytics tab.


How to Review a Course's Website Traffic & SEO

Open a course from the Courses list and go to its Analytics tab, then the Website Traffic & SEO section. It shows how that course's public page is performing in Google Analytics and Google Search Console — separate from enrolment and revenue analytics.

Use the 7d / 30d / 90d switch at the top right to change the reporting window; every number on the page updates for that range.

Website Traffic & SEO page for a course, showing Page Views, Visitors, Avg. Session, Bounce Rate tiles, a page views chart, traffic sources, search clicks, impressions, and top search queries


Top Stat Tiles

  • Page Views — total views of the public course page
  • Visitors — unique visitors to the page
  • Avg. Session — average time a visitor spends on the page before leaving
  • Bounce Rate — the share of visits that leave after viewing just one page; lower is better

Course Page Views Over Time

A line chart plots daily page views (and a secondary trend line) across the selected date range, so you can spot spikes — for example after a promotion or a social post — at a glance.


Traffic Sources

A breakdown of where visitors came from, each with a bar and a raw count:

  • Organic Search — arrived via an unpaid Google (or other search engine) result
  • Direct — typed the URL or used a saved bookmark
  • Organic Social — arrived from an unpaid social media post or profile link
  • Unassigned — traffic Google Analytics could not attribute to a channel
  • Organic Video — arrived from a video platform such as YouTube
  • Referral — arrived by clicking a link on another website
  • AI Assistant — arrived via a link surfaced by an AI chat/assistant product

Search Console Data

  • Search Clicks — total clicks from Google Search results to the course page
  • Impressions — how many times the page appeared in Google Search results
  • Top Search Queries — a table of the actual search terms people used, each with:
    • Clicks — how many of those searches led to a click
    • Impressions — how many times that query showed the page in results
    • CTR — click-through rate, clicks divided by impressions
    • Position — the page's average ranking position for that query (lower is better; 1 means top result)

Use the Top Search Queries table to see which keywords are already bringing students in, and which high-impression, low-CTR queries could use a better Meta Title or Meta Description — see How to Configure SEO.

If neither Google Analytics nor Search Console is connected for your site, this section stays empty. Connect them from Integrations — see Manage Integrations.
