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

Impressions clicks and traffic drop
Hello,
Reporting & Analytics | | SharonEKG
So something weird is going on, i run a few websites for clients, few different CMS. there has been a constant increase in traffic and ranking on one wordpress website and now the squarespace website is climbing up in rankings in the past few months. both has GTM installed for months, which has been optimized regularly.
for the wordpress website, in the past 2 weeks, starting June 4th, on google search console the clicks and impressions has started going down to the point that i lost 90% of clicks and impressions and traffic on analytics has started dropping a few days later, now at about 60% less traffic. for the Squarespace website, exactly the same thing, started June 7th and drop in clicks/impressions (though ranking increase) and then traffic drop. checked both GTM for recent changes incase of wrong code implement, no changes, no new major issues.
different hostings different CMS, no link between them. i just cant put my finger what is going on. anyone got any idea what is going on?0 -

Deleted Rarely Visited Pages - Traffic Dropped (Big Time)
Hi folks: I'd appreciate any thoughts you might have on a problem I am having with organic traffic. One of our sites has about 500 pages/blog posts. We had about 200 pages that no one was visiting, or only one to ten people had visited in an entire year. As a result, we decided to experiment, and delete any page which had fewer than 5 visits in a year. This resulted in a deletion of about 90 pages.We did this on April 6 or 7 of this year. Two days later, we had a substantial drop in visits to the site. We had been getting about 300 sessions a day. Now, we are lucky to get that in a month. I know there was an algorithm update in late March, but our traffic dropped about two weeks after that, and a day or so after the deletion of the pages. There is a clear demarcation on analytics. I gave it a month, the traffic did not recover, so we decided to restore the pages. Traffic has not recovered and it has been about 3 months now. Does anyone have any thoughts on why we might have experienced such a drastic drop as well as what we might do to recover from it? Thanks very much

Direct traffic decline
I've noticed a few of our sites (tour, hotel, and local attraction) which are very established and reasonably high brand recognition that have experienced a significant decrease in branded traffic (-20-30% compared to same period from the previous year) the past few months. There have been no changes in offline marketing though we are seeing a slight decrease in visitor arrivals (-5%) and higher hotel room rates. Is there a chance that Google's not set may be affecting direct traffic numbers? Any other thoughts on how we can figure out why brand traffic is dipping? Thanks

Viewing image search data in Analytics?
How do you view image search data in Google analytics? Do you need to apply tracking or can you drill down into the default data? Thanks.

Analytics, Traffic and Rankings. Something is wrong, can you answer it? ;-)
So I've been monitoring analytics to see where our clients are ranking for terms that have brought visitors to the site over the last month to find that the website isnt ranking in the top 100 for that keyword. What are your thoughts on this? Why do you think this could happen? One of the keywords has brough over 700 visitors in the last month yet is not in the top 100 for this term. I've also looked Google Webmaster Tools and have found that the exact same term hasn't had 700 impressions let alone 700 click throughs! Weird! Cheers, Sean

Mobile and Google Analytics
As my mobile numbers are going up in Google Analytics I'm trying to figure out what phone runs what browser. I see that 93% of mobile users have Safari which I believe is iPhone, iPad and iPods. There is a 6% usage of "Mozilla Compatible Agent". What cell phone would this be?
