Organic Search Traffic Estimator — Similarweb Alternative

What is Organic Search Traffic Estimator?

Estimate organic Google search traffic for a list of domains. Each dataset record is one domain report with estimated organic traffic (organicEtv), organic keyword count, ranking-position counts, paid search estimates, top ranked keywords, overlapping SEO competitors, and an optional site card (title, public emails, social URLs, detected technologies).

Scope: the figures are organic search estimates from a managed SEO data route. They are not total website visits, traffic-source splits, visitor geography, or panel data, and they are not a site's private analytics. The visits, bounceRate, and globalRank fields are filled only when an optional visits feed responds; that feed is frequently unavailable, so plan on those fields being null.

Workflow: put the results to work

Submit the domains and choose consistent market settings before comparing search-traffic estimates. Inspect top keywords and competing domains to understand each estimate's context, then export JSON or CSV.

Best fit for this Actor

• Score competitor websites on organic search traffic, keyword coverage, and overlapping domains in one row per domain.

• Enrich a lead list with domain rank, public emails, and detected technologies before outreach.

• Feed organicEtv and topKeywords into a research workflow that later checks live SERPs.

• When you need a deeper keyword or competitor list for one domain, then use SEO Competitor Analyzer — Semrush Alternative; it returns one row per ranked keyword or competitor.

• When you need the live Google results those keywords rank on, then use Google SERP Scraper.

  "paidEtv": 0,
  "visits": null,
  "globalRank": null,
  "topKeywords": [{ "keyword": "apify", "searchVolume": 5400, "rank": 1, "etv": 1200 }],
  "competitors": [{ "domain": "github.com", "intersections": 13010, "avgPosition": 11.57 }],

}

Field	Meaning
organicEtv	Estimated monthly Google organic traffic volume (search estimate, not measured visits).
domainRank	Domain rank from the site card, when the site card is available.
visits / globalRank	Filled only when the optional visits feed responds; usually null. similarwebAvailable tells you which case applies.
status	OK when any useful metric was found; NO_DATA when the domain is unmatched.

OUTPUT and RUN_SUMMARY in the default key-value store hold outcome, itemsPushed, and chargedEventCounts. Download the dataset as JSON, CSV, Excel, or HTML.

Use through the API

curl -X POST "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/khadinakbar~similarweb-alternative/runs" \

  -d '{"domains":["apify.com"],"mode":"free_tier","countryName":"United States","languageCode":"en"}'

Use with AI agents through Apify MCP

Estimate organic search traffic for apify.com in the United States. Return domain, organicEtv, organicKeywordCount, domainRank, topKeywords, competitors, similarwebAvailable, status, and fetchedAt. Read OUTPUT.outcome and itemsPushed for scope.

Connect via https://mcp.apify.com. Start with free_tier so agents can confirm the output shape before a bulk_paid list.

Connect the workflow

• When you need the live SERP those keywords rank on, search with Google SERP Scraper.
• After you pick a brand or category to watch, continue with Google Trends Scraper.

How it works

1. Normalize hostnames and URLs, then cap the list for the selected mode.
2. Optionally request the website-visits feed. If it is unavailable, continue with null visits fields.
3. Request the organic rank overview, then optional competitors, ranked keywords, and technologies.
4. Charge domain-report and write one validated row per input domain.

Best results

• Provide a focused list of public websites you are authorized to research; start with free_tier to confirm the output shape.
• Use full country names such as United Kingdom and language codes such as en.
• Treat organicEtv as a Google search-traffic estimate. visits and bounce rate appear only when the optional visits feed responds.
• Keep keyword and competitor limits at the defaults unless you have a specific reporting reason.

Builder's note

I built this around the organic search estimate as the dependable core of every domain report, with visit and bounce fields added only when the optional visits feed responds. That keeps each row comparable across runs, makes organicEtv the primary signal, and lets optional competitor, keyword, and technology sections deepen a report without changing its shape.
