These figures are estimates, not readings. Nobody outside a business can see its real traffic. The number comes from a model built on visible rankings and assumed click rates. That makes it useless as a precise figure and genuinely useful as a comparison, because both sites are wrong in the same direction.
Compare two sites fairly
Both measured the same way at the same time, which is what makes the comparison hold.
A sense of scale
Whether a competitor is a similar size to you or a completely different animal.
Keyword count too
How many terms a site appears for, which often says more than the traffic figure.

Why these numbers are estimates
Real traffic is only visible to the site owner. Every public figure is modelled from rankings that can be seen, multiplied by assumed click rates. The model is systematically wrong, which sounds bad and is fine, because it is wrong the same way for every site you check.
How to use them properly
Use them to compare, never to report. Checking your site and a competitor on the same day tells you something real about relative scale. Quoting the number to a client as their traffic does not, and it falls apart the moment they open their own analytics.
Why local sites read low
Local businesses rank in map results and for phrases with modest volume, and neither is captured well by these models. A local site with strong visibility often shows a small estimate. That is a limit of the model, not a verdict on the business.

Frequently Asked Questions
How accurate is this?
As a precise figure, not very. As a comparison between two sites measured the same way, useful. Never quote it as real traffic.
Why is my estimate so low?
Local businesses rank in maps and for lower volume phrases, and these models capture neither well.
Can I show this to a client?
Only as a comparison, and only if you say it is an estimate. Presenting it as their traffic ends badly when they open analytics.
What about the keyword count?
Often more useful than the traffic figure. It shows how broad a site's visibility is rather than guessing at visits.
Should I track this over time?
Not really. The model changes, so movement can be the model rather than the site.
Estimates compare, they do not report
Modelled traffic is a rough comparison. If you need to know whether your visibility is actually improving, measure your map position across your area and watch that instead.

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. Relative sizes are more reliable than absolutes.
Why it matters
Local businesses routinely assume a competitor is far ahead based on how visible they seem. Checking often shows a smaller gap than expected, and occasionally shows the opposite, which changes what is worth spending.
Questions people ask
How accurate are these estimates?
Approximate. Treat them as scale rather than measurement. Anybody presenting them as exact is overselling them.
Can I check my own site this way?
You can, but your own analytics are exact and this is not. Use this for sites you cannot see inside.
What is the most useful thing here?
The branded versus unbranded split. It tells you whether a rival is winning new customers or serving people who already knew them.
