The traffic and revenue left on the table each month by sitting off page one for high-intent keywords.
For each striking-distance keyword, we compare your current click-through rate at positions 11-20 (~1%) against the top-3 reference rate (~12%). The difference, multiplied by monthly search volume, gives the missed visits. Enquiries assume a 2% visit-to-enquiry conversion rate. Ad spend equivalent uses each keyword's Google Ads CPC.

Several areas are limiting the site's organic growth potential.
Each of these barriers is addressable. The site already has strong brand authority and an excellent product range. Filling these gaps would move striking-distance keywords onto page one and capture the missed traffic identified in this audit.
A phased approach to capitalise on the site's existing authority and close the gaps.
Based on current keyword positions, addressing these barriers could move 15 striking-distance keywords onto page one, capturing approximately ~19,085 additional visits and ~381 additional enquiries each month. The equivalent paid traffic cost would be $11,476 per month.
This audit shows the opportunity. The next step is a focused conversation about which wins to pursue first and the timeline to get there.
