Sudden spike in traffic, what could it be?

It's a UK based Shopify store (not drop shipping, just a normal apparel store).

It's not an insane amount,700+ visitors with about 10-30 live at one time, but this is a lot for my store as even when I'm running ads daily traffic is only 150 - 250. I've never seen this much.

No sales and only a handful of ATC's.

The majority of traffic is coming from "search" (500+) and is for this one collection page, although a few others are also getting some traction but no where near as much. The large majority is from all over the US (400+), the rest is UK and some other European countries. Bounce rate for today on average is around 45%.

I did search my store and also that specific collection page, it doesn't seem like we've been mention anywhere.

The surge happened while my ads were paused, I just started running a campaign (trying to test reels) but it links to a specific product page and the CTR currently is quite low so I don't believe its from this. Also there's not much traffic from socials.

Unfortunately I didn't have google analytics set up, I'm currently in the process of doing this though.

Does this sound like it could be bots or spam?

It's making me feel a little anxious to be honest, since it has seemingly come from no where.

Legit Reviews

The google review thing is insane I have gotten 2 legit verified reviews that i ask client to screenshot and observe goolge not post them, pretend like they never happened and when i sent them the image a policy message was sent . As I was browsing through the google forum a lot of ppl are getting hit with legit reviews being removed. While all this is going on i have observe a company go from 12 reviews to 65 reviews in a two month period with some stuff that dont make sense on some of them. Seems like a new business or profile is being limited while aged accounts can have a free for fall but who really knows. Still waiting for a resolution on a if any. submitted by /u/Ok-Bowl-6167 [link] [comments] from Search Engine Optimization: The Latest SEO News https://ift.tt/zkbfgDH

Local seo vs. natiowide seo?

I've done SEO for local businesses but I recently got my first client that sells an item nation wide. ​ Any suggestions for doing nationwide SEO? ​ I am used to making geopages for local towns. I was going to do the same with some input from the client about what cities or towns he would like to show up in? submitted by /u/Letmeinterviewyou [link] [comments] from Search Engine Optimization: The Latest SEO News http://bit.ly/2JHy0k0

7 SEO Lessons I've Learned in 2025 (So Far) - From Building a Competitor Analysis Tool

Hey r/SEO , I've been spending a lot of time lately building a competitor keyword research tool (more on that below!), and it's really forced me to dig deep into how SEO works today . Here are some of the key lessons I've learned – hopefully, they're helpful to you too: Keyword Gaps Are Gold: It's not enough to just know what keywords your competitors rank for. You need to know what they rank for that you don't . This is where the real opportunities lie. Focusing on these "gap" keywords has been a game-changer for my own site. (This is actually why I built the tool – to make finding these gaps easier). Relevance > Volume (Sometimes): High search volume is great, but relevance is even more important. A keyword with 100 searches per month that's perfectly aligned with your niche and audience is often more valuable than a keyword with 10,000 searches that's only tangentially related. I've seen much better results targeting tho...
