Nobody outside a site can see its analytics. Treat the output as an order of magnitude rather than a measurement, and be wary of anyone who presents figures like these as exact. ## Why the split matters more A site living on branded searches has an audience that already knows it exists. A site living on unbranded local terms is winning people who were still deciding. The second kind is who you are actually competing with, whatever the totals say. ## What to do with it Mostly, calibrate. Local businesses routinely assume a competitor is far ahead because they seem visible everywhere. Checking often shows a smaller gap than expected, and occasionally the reverse, and either changes what is worth spending. ## Explore More Free Tools & Services [All Free SEO ToolsBrowse our full toolkit](/tools/)[Keyword Research ToolFind keywords to target](/tools/keyword-research-tool/)[Backlink CheckerCheck their backlinks too](/tools/backlink-checker/)[All Free ToolsGrow your organic traffic](/tools/) ## Frequently Asked Questions **Q: How accurate are the numbers?** Approximate. Read them as scale, not measurement. Anyone presenting them as precise is overselling them. **Q: Can I check my own site?** You can, but your own analytics are exact and this is not. Use this for sites you cannot see inside. **Q: What is the most useful part?** The branded and unbranded split, because it tells you whether a rival is winning new customers or serving people who already knew them. **Q: Why do tools disagree?** Different samples and different models. Use one consistently rather than comparing across them. ## Useful for scale, not for certainty An outside estimate is enough to tell you whether a competitor is ahead and roughly by how much. It will never be enough to report as fact. [Browse All Free Tools →](/tools/)[Check My Ranking](/tools/google-rank-checker/) ## Website Traffic Checker You can see your own traffic exactly. Everybody else you can only estimate, and estimates from outside are approximate by nature. They are built from sampled data and modelling, not from anybody's analytics. Used properly that is still worth having. Not for the exact number, which will be wrong, but for the order of magnitude and the shape. A competitor pulling ten times your traffic is a different problem from one pulling slightly more. The composition tells you more than the total. A site living on branded searches has an audience that already knows it. A site living on unbranded local terms is winning people who were still deciding, and those are the ones you are competing for. ## How to use it - Enter a competitor domain, not your own. Use analytics for yours. - Read the scale rather than the exact figure. - Look at the split between branded and unbranded traffic. - Compare two or three rivals.
