18. 1) How to find traffic opportunities?
CTR and Missed Clicks
Publisher, top 500 rankings = 30%+ of clicks
Ecomm, top 500 = 10% of clicks
Click from chart, position 8
Filter to crawled
Add keyword position for URL, CTR, avg position, is main keyword
Could then filter on some of these to refine set, such as main keyword = yes, CTR < 10
From keyword explorer, filter to organic visits from Google > 100 to get top pages
Add column for Google organic visits to get perspective on top page and keyword’s clicks relative to total visits

Note decline in visits for caesar dressing … maybe there’s another, better page that is relevant for that.
Baked potato has low CTR
Toggle through some metrics, see small amount of unique content.
Click into URL to explore.
Click content quality section and affirm low uniqueness
Look at inlinks and point out top anchor text may not be as helpful.
Point about checking for use of keyword in major HTML tags, especially for companies with teams who use a CMS to edit copy.
Filter is main keyword = yes, in title = no
Notice AMP URLs have titles that aren’t descriptive
Choose ”camping meals” for example
Sort desc by position to find keywords where the page isn’t as relevant, but could either be made more relevant by updating copy or perhaps new pages could be created to address those opportunities.
