Over the past month, that share fell further.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The measure here is organic search share: the percentage of a website&#8217;s visits that came from unpaid Google and other search engine results over a 30-day period, as reported by Google Analytics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What the data shows<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>A low share.<\/strong> Across 184 <strong>casual apparel<\/strong> websites, the median share of visits from search was <strong>9%<\/strong> in the 30 days ending in late October 2026. Across roughly 65,500 websites in all industries, it was <strong>21%<\/strong>.<\/li><li><strong>A recent drop.<\/strong> Thirty days earlier, the casual apparel median was <strong>12%<\/strong>. The median across all industries slipped only about one point, from 22% to 21%.<\/li><li><strong>Some exceptions.<\/strong> The top quarter of casual apparel sites still got <strong>29% or more<\/strong> of their visits from search.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What this does and doesn&#8217;t tell you<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>These figures are aggregated from websites connected to Diib. The two readings are 30 days apart, and the set of sites with data can shift slightly between them. One month is a short window, so this may be seasonal or temporary. A falling share can also mean other sources, like social media or email, grew, not that search visits dropped. The data doesn&#8217;t show which happened.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What it does show is that the typical casual clothing store leans on search less than most businesses, and that its reliance on search shrank faster than average over the past month.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The typical casual apparel website got 9% of its visits from search engines in the latest 30 days, down from 12% a month earlier.
