Semrush and SimilarWeb's algorithms can’t detect the traffic accurately or may classify it as bot traffic. In any case, you should wait for the data to appear in those tools.

Semrush and SimilarWeb use estimates and might not count paid or bot traffic like Google Analytics does.

The traffic from spark traffic do not reflect on Semrush or SimilarWeb because they rely on external data sources and panels which may not capture bot or artificial traffic as effectively as Google analytics. so try on Google analytics to find the traffic you bought.

Yes, I agree with the others. SEMrush and SimilarWeb don’t pick up on that kind of traffic easily. They focus more on organic or real user behavior, not paid or bot traffic.

If you're purchasing traffic and it's not appearing on SEMrush, there could be a few reasons for this. SEMrush mainly focuses on organic search traffic, so paid traffic from sources like social media or direct purchases may not be tracked. For better insights, consider using analytics tools such as Google Analytics.

Sermush traffic is estimated on the keywords you're ranking for, based on the positions and average CTR for each,
So, if you're not ranking on Google or paying for Google ads, there's no way that Semrush would show traffic for your website,
Also, why do you want to show fake traffic in these tools in the 1st place?

To my knowledge, Semrush and Similar Web usually have longer data refresh time whereas Google Analytics tracks and displays traffic data in real time.

They'll exclude bot traffic for the most part
Ahrefs will do the same

Simply it is so because GA utilizes tracking script to measure actual traffic on your website, so it can most accurately measure traffic and its behavior on your website. But there is no way to check your competitors analytics, so here comes the role of other traffic audit tools, which are not script based but give estimation from their data of rank tracking and other sources.
I don't recommend buying traffic but if you are doing so to show higher SEMrush traffic of your website then specify it to the seller so that he can generate traffic that shows in SEMrush.

Semrush and Ahref show estimated traffic from organic keyword ranking and paid PPC like Google/Bing ads. On the other hand, similarweb shows all kinds of traffic in one platform like organic, email, paid, display, etc. if you need bot traffic should show on similarweb then I think you should connect GA4 with simiarweb.

Not sure about SimilarWeb but Ahrefs + Semrush measure traffic by your organic ranking position for certain keywords + search volumn.
So if you buy traffic directly to your website, Ahrefs + SEMrush won't have any ground to give you any insight.
SimilarWeb, SEMrush and Ahrefs all can somewhat track if you buy traffic from Google Ads but the result is often not accurate.
GA4 in another hand is installed on your website, hence the accuracy is a lot higher compared to the other 3rd party tracking tools.
