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.

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

GMB territory inching with service company

Seeking advice on extending our service area, while our main GMB profile states SD County, we only rank in our neighborhood but we have the team to service much more jobs. The boss wants us to get addresses in these hot territories within the county and use call rail numbers to validate the GMB profile. Question: Does this still work? Will it catch up with us? OR is there a better way to rank in a territory for a service. We are 4.9 stars with 120+ reviews submitted by /u/SoCal619TradesPro [link] [comments] from Search Engine Optimization: The Latest SEO News https://ift.tt/9RWmh6i
