Introduction
Direct traffic is often overlooked in the realm of digital marketing, yet it plays a crucial role in brand recognition and SEO. This article aims to demystify direct traffic and provide a step-by-step guide on how to set up direct traffic in your project's settings effectively for your website.
What is Direct Traffic?
Direct traffic refers to visits to your website where the user has not arrived through any other source such as a search engine or a hyperlink from another site. This usually happens when a user types your URL directly into the browser or accesses your site via a bookmark.
Why Direct Traffic Matters
Direct traffic is a strong indicator of brand recognition and loyalty. When users go directly to your website, it often means they are already familiar with your brand or have had a positive experience with your site. Moreover, search engines like Google consider direct traffic as a positive ranking signal, which can improve your website's SEO.
How to Set Up Direct Traffic
To switch your traffic source to 'Direct,' navigate to your project settings and locate the 'Traffic Type' section. Within this section, you'll find a dropdown menu. Select the first option labeled 'Direct,' as illustrated in the screenshot below.
