I tried to write a set of code myself, which constantly changes IPs and uses browsers, with each browser having a different User-Agent string. I’ve also attempted to simulate traffic through Google searches and mimicking Facebook clicks. However, I still don’t see any traffic showing up on SimilarWeb — only in Google Analytics (GA). Why is that? Can someone give me some advice or suggestions?
 
Because SimilarWeb doesn’t track your site directly — it relies on panel data, ISP data, and browser plugins. So even if GA shows traffic, SimilarWeb won’t catch it unless it's real users from their tracked sources. Fake traffic = invisible there.

I'm using dynamic IPs, along with different browser User-Agents. Doesn't that already make it look like traffic from different users? Do you have any way to get my traffic recognized by SimilarWeb?
 
I guess no. But, SW has a GA connector. If you connect SW to your GA code, you can see your real GA data inside SimilarWeb
But this way, SimilarWeb can only see the traffic from Google Analytics (GA), and the section below the SimilarWeb query page shows no other data at all.
 
SimilarWeb uses its own panel and partner data, not your site’s code, so small, scripted visits won’t show up. It only reports real user traffic once it’s big enough and after its weekly updates.

Even with thousands of visits per day, there's no effect?

Hi,
Do you know by any chance the exact browser extension names whose user data is used by SimilarWeb for traffic estimation?

Similarweb estimates a website’s average traffic over a certain period of time; it does not track traffic in real time.

This is a huge issue that I am facing. Looking forward to some suggestions. I hope this thread actually brings good inputs
