Definition
Organic traffic is website visits from unpaid search engine results — users clicking your listing after a Google or Bing query without you paying per click.
Detailed Explanation
Measured in GA4 as session medium = organic. Grows through SEO: content, technical health, backlinks, and E-E-A-T signals.
Organic is compounding — unlike paid, you don’t pay per visit once ranked. Trade-off: slower to build, algorithm-dependent.
Nepal Context
Nepali businesses often over-index on paid social while ignoring organic — yet “near me” and “price Nepal” queries have strong local SEO opportunity with lower long-term CAC.
