URL and Top Valued Topic help to recognize what the page is about.
Share of Site Traffic divides the Organic Traffic Est. for the page by the Organic Traffic Estimate of all the site’s pages and displays this as a percentage.
Organic Traffic Estimate is an estimate of the amount of traffic this page currently receives. MarketMuse estimates the traffic for each topic for which a page ranks, taking into account its position in the search results and any SERP features as they impact click-through rates. The results are then summed to create the traffic estimate for the page.

Organic Traffic Δ – Delta is represented by a triangle. The number, color, and arrow indicate the direction and amount of change from one period to the next. Typically this is monthly, depending on your plan.
Potential Traffic is an estimate of the traffic a page could achieve if it was optimized. This metric calculates the potential traffic for each topic for which a page ranks and rolls that up to the page level. To calculate potential traffic we look at topic volume and potential rank, which is based on the current rank and personalized difficulty.
