How much did Google traffic grow, year over year?

We compare each month with the same month a year earlier, so the riding season does not inflate the numbers.

Which store is this, and where did the growth come from?

TeamMotorcycle sells motorcycle helmets, saddlebags, communication systems and other riding gear on Shopify. The catalog holds more than 2,000 products in about 430 collections, and about 82% to 85% of its Google clicks come from searchers in the United States.

The gains are in non-brand search. Searches for the store's own name stayed flat, at about 3% of the clicks we can see. Collection pages, the category pages that list products, brought in most of the extra clicks, ahead of product pages and the blog.

The store showed up in search less often in July and August 2026 than a year earlier, yet got more clicks. The extra clicks came from ranking higher, not from appearing more often.

Which searches moved up?

Six searches that now rank in Google's top 10, comparing July to October 2025 with July to October 2026.

What did Rank Ray work on?

This is the work in our dated records for the store. We list only what is on file.

Store audit and fix list

An ecommerce SEO audit, a search gap report and a review of the search results for the store's main categories in April 2026, turned into a ranked list of fixes.

Product markup

Product and Offer structured data fixed by August 2026, so Google can read price and stock on product pages.

Buying guides

29 long buying guides from January to September 2026, two to three a month, each linking to the products it covers.

Titles and product copy

An overlong homepage title cleaned up, and product titles, meta descriptions and product descriptions rewritten in rounds.

Keyword tracking

Daily position checks on the store's key searches from May 2026, to see which pages move and which need work.

What are the limits of this data?

  • Data starts in mid June 2025

    The store's Search Console history begins on June 16, 2025. There is no earlier year to compare with, and June 2025 holds only 15 days.

  • Clicks peaked in June 2026

    Clicks reached their high point in June 2026 and eased from July to October, in line with the low season for riding gear. October is still well ahead of October 2025, which was a weak month.

  • Same months, not low to high

    Comparing a winter low with a summer high, such as November 2025 with May 2026 (+188%), overstates growth. That is why we compare the same months year over year.

  • Clicks, not sales

    These figures are Google search clicks and rankings. We make no claim here about orders or revenue.

  • Linked, not proven

    Rankings also move with Google updates, the season and the store's own changes. We do not claim our work caused all of this growth.
