# Glossary

## Channels

The channel overview breaks down the traffic source information which tells you the different ways that people can find your website.

### Organic&#x20;

Visitors who are considered organic find your website after using a search engine like Google or Bing and click on a non-paid search result.&#x20;

### Direct Traffic

Direct traffic is most often the result of a user entering the URL into their browser or using a bookmark to directly access your website. This channel often accounts for existing patients, direct referrals from other physicians or other offline forms of advertising.&#x20;

### Referral Traffic

Visitors that find your website from a source outside of a search engine would be considered referral traffic. When someone clicks on a hyperlink to go to a new page on a different website, Google sees that as referral traffic. Example: new stories, social media, review sites, hospital websites&#x20;

### Local Traffic

Local traffic is a result of someone that interacted with your site via an online directory or local listing. This also includes your Google My Business listing.

### Paid Traffic

This is the traffic that you purchase via AdWords or pay-per-click ads. These listings typically show above the non-paid results and are indicated as ads to the end-user.
