Where Is My Traffic Coming From?

How to see your website traffic sources in Google Analytics and why syncing with diib makes it even easier.

Understanding where your website visitors come from is one of the most powerful things you can do to grow your business. When you know which channels are bringing people in (whether it’s Google searches, social media, or referrals from other sites), you can double down on what’s working and spot new opportunities to reach your audience.

Checking your traffic in Google Analytics

If you use Google Analytics (GA), you can see your traffic sources in just a few clicks:

  1. Log into your Google Analytics account.

  2. In the left menu, click Reports.

  3. Go to AcquisitionTraffic acquisition (in GA4) or Source/Medium (in Universal Analytics).

  4. You’ll see a breakdown of your visitors by source, such as:

    • Organic Search – people finding you in search engines like Google or Bing

    • Direct – people typing in your web address or using a bookmark

    • Referral – visitors coming from links on other websites

    • Social – traffic from platforms like Facebook, Instagram, or LinkedIn

    • Paid Search – visits from ads you’re running
