Sometimes you just wanna know how much potential traffic a site could get if its rankings improved. Well now you can with my simple local SEO traffic estimator template. And if you have the sites conversion rate, you can estimate conversions as well. Of course, this template is over-simplifying things but I wanted to make it as easy as possible to get an estimate on potential traffic and conversions.
