Hi John
There's a couple of ways you can do this...
-
Login into Google Analytics
-
Select the profile you want to check
-
Select the date range
-
In your left sidebar menu, goto "Acquisition" - click it
-
Go down to All Traffic - click it
-
Go down to Channels - click it
-
Above your graph, you'll see a box that says "All Sessions" above your graph - click it
-
Learn more about Segments here
-
A box will appear with a list called Segment Name
-
Scroll down to, or search in the box, "Mobile Traffic"
-
Click "Apply"
-
Now, where it says "All Sessions", there is a carrot down button in the upper right hand corner
-
Click it and select "Remove"
-
You should only have "Mobile Traffic" as your segment
-
From here you can see your Mobile organic performance, as well as other channels, including Direct
-
From there, you can also, in your left sidebar menu, goto "Acquisition" - click it
-
Go down to Campaigns - click it
-
Go down to Organic Keywords - click it
You can also do this...
-
In your left sidebar menu, goto "Audience" - click it
-
Goto Mobile - click it
-
Goto Overview - click it
-
Click "Advanced" above "Conversions"
-
In the box that appears, type "mobile" - click apply
-
Then, above "Device Category" click "Secondary Dimension"
-
Type in "Medium" - click it
-
Then, go to "Edit" above "Conversions" in your table
-
Click "+Add a dimension or metric"
-
Type in "Medium"
-
In the box that appears next to it, type "organic"
-
Click "Apply"
-
From here you can see your Mobile organic performance
-
If you do this off of the Segment you set up previously, you shouldn't have to set up those filters
Hopefully this helps! I would check out the Google Analytics Academy - particularly Digtial Analytics Fundamentals & Google Analytics Platform Principles. Both are great resources and help immensely with understanding how to use Analytics to find the data you need.

Hi John,
First click on Audience=>> Mobile ==> Overview on left hand side in GA. After Choose 'Direct traffic' segment from segment
list. You will get direct traffic data. For Search engine data select 'search traffic' from segment list.
Hope this helps
Thanks

GA4 account & property not showing in traffic property setup list.
Hi there, I've connected multiple client accounts to GA4 already, but three of our accounts that we have administrator rights to in GA4 are not showing up in our selectable accounts/properties list when logged in via Moz to add to the traffic settings area. Anyone else have this issue and find a fix?

Seeing very few pages analysed re: Mobile usability, in Google Seach Console - why?
Hi Mozzers, Under Mobile Usability, in Google Search Console, I am seeing very few website pages getting analysed - 10 out of 40 static pages, on the website in question. Is this to be expected or does this indicated an indexing problem on mobile?

Tracking 301 redirect traffic in Google Analytics
if I 301 redirect www.mywebsite.com to go to www.yourwebsite.com, how can I track the traffic in Google Analytics that is coming from mywebsite.com?? I don't think that's a referral traffic, is it?

Direct / (none) Spam Traffic Help
In July 2015, we experienced an over 1,000% increase in traffic and it has remained like that ever since. It's all spam traffic and I have no clue how to get rid of it. I added in your typical .htaccess blocks from known culprits with little to no effect. Read up on Ghost traffic and applied filters to no effect. The spam is completely distributed as far as I can tell both geographically as well as by network providers. Where once we had pretty decent bounce rates of around 50%, now, since all my Analytics data is meaningless - it's around 90%. I could apply a filter but beyond my GA account providing no insights, I'm also concerned about the increased use of server resources. I'd ideally like to stop the traffic completely. The only distinguishing feature of the traffic that I have been able to determine is browser size. Comparing June 2015 to July 2015 we saw the following: Browser size visits: 620 x 460 = 6,828 vs 0, 610 x 450 = 175 vs 0, 1330 x 630 = 71 vs 1, 1890 x 940 = 67 vs 0, 780 x 580 = 58 v 5. Other than that, I can find no unifying theme to the traffic beyond being traffic hitting our homepage and having no medium. Nothing special that I am aware of happened in July. We didn't do any sort of...really anything. We did have our network compromised by ransomware in the beginning of June, which we promptly ignored and restored backups - at no point did we try to contact the criminals, but I am doubtful there is any connection considering that our website is remotely hosted. If anyone has any suggestions or has seen anything like this before, please let me know. spam-traffic.jpg

Tracking Organic Traffic and Conversions from multiple TLDs with Google Tag Manager
Hello Guys, I want to track traffic / conversions from different domains (basically same brand - but a lot of different TLD's). The "problem" is that the main conversion which I want to track always happens on the .com TLD and all other TLD's link to there. The problem is, that now the traffic always counts as Referral Traffic, even after setting up cross domain tracking over the google tag manager... So example: Sessions begins on example.co.uk/landing-page11 after User searched on it on google. He decides to buy the product and therefore moves to example.com for the checkout process. No I will have the conversion in my google analytics under referral with example.co.uk. --> but I want to have it under organic, and not under referral. How I can manage this? Thanks for you Help!

Does traffic coming from Adwords increase overall Domain Authority or Page Rank?
If I'm setting up an Adwords campaign, will setting my homepage as the landing page boost my domain rank? and will the Page Rank of the landing page get boosted because of the high click rate coming from the Adwords campaign?

Rank #1 for a 110,000/month query search, but barely any traffic?
Hi guys, As it says in the title, we've recently reached the absolute #1 position for a certain key phrase in the travel industry which the Google Keyword Tool tells me averages 110,000 local (165,000 global) searches a month... however we have received barely any traffic at all over the past TWO months for it and I'm trying my best to determine why. We've checked on multiple different devices with all forms of personalisation off, different browsers, 3G connections as opposed to office Wi-FI etc. and it still returns us as the #1 rank. Meta descriptions and title tags are pretty much pristine if I don't say so myself, however what should be a very lucrative key phrase is currently returning little to no traffic results. Has anyone had experience in a similar situation to this? Any possible causes that I might be missing? Would greatly appreciate any help. Thanks.

Can you get local search numbers/traffic out of Google Analytics?
With Google's new local search I am more curious as to market penetration on keywords that are now localized to my different US cities. I understand that you can separate out Google traffic based on regional Google domains, but I am curious if there is an effective way to separate out searches and keywords based on a my local US Metros? If google cannot do this, any recommendations on products that can? Thanks.
