Our Traffic Potential Calculator is a free tool designed to help you estimate realistic organic traffic for your keywords. Unlike traditional keyword research tools that only show search volume, this calculator factors in:

Monthly search volume

checked icon

Your ranking position (or target position)

checked icon

The presence of Google AI Overviews

Position-specific click-through rates (CTRs)

This gives you a much more accurate picture of how many actual clicks you can expect, rather than just how many people are searching.

Select Your Ranking Position

Choose your current or target ranking position (1-10). Position 1 is the top organic result, position 2 is the second result, and so on.

UnderstandingYour Results

Once you've entered your data, the calculator will instantly show:

Estimated Monthly Clicks: The number of organic visits you can realistically expect

Click-Through Rate (CTR): The percentage of searchers likely to click on your result at the specified position

The calculator automatically adjusts CTR based on whether an AI Overview is present, as these features significantly impact organic click behavior.
