Branded Search Traffic is a key performance indicator (KPI) that measures the volume of website visits generated from branded keywords—search terms that include a company’s name or close variations—on search engines like Google or Bing. This metric tracks how much traffic comes specifically from users actively searching for a particular brand, reflecting the level of brand awareness and customer interest. Branded search traffic is typically monitored over time to assess brand growth trends, and it often results in higher click-through rates, as users searching branded terms are more likely to engage with the company’s content or offerings.
