Organic traffic refers to user visits to a product card or a shop front without paid advertising: via the marketplace internal search, external search engines, or natural links in social media. It’s important to distinguish Kaspi.kz internal organic traffic from external traffic coming from search engines and social networks.
How organic traffic works on the platform
Organic traffic comes from three main sources:
- the marketplace internal search and category catalogs;
- external search via search engines (for example, Google or Yandex) and direct visits to the seller's indexable pages;
- accumulated visits from natural links in social media, blogs and reviews.
On Kaspi.kz, most organic clicks for the majority of sellers come from internal search. The internal ranking algorithm orders cards by a combination of relevance (category, attributes, title), commercial metrics (price, stock availability, delivery options) and behavioral signals (CTR, conversion, returns, seller rating).
Typical position dynamics in search results for similar categories among sellers in Kazakhstan: the first position gets about 20–40% of clicks in the results, positions 2–5 get 10–20% each, then share drops sharply. Conversion rates for cards in the top of internal search often range from 10–25% depending on category and price.
Why organic traffic matters for a seller on Kaspi.kz
Organic traffic provides sales stability without continuous ad spending. For local businesses in Kazakhstan this is especially important: a large share of buyers come via the Kaspi mobile app and make quick purchase decisions.
- Lower CAC. Organic sales don’t require paid campaigns, so customer acquisition cost decreases.
- Resilience to advertising budget changes. If marketing spend is temporarily reduced, cards optimized for organic will keep generating orders.
- Higher ranking via behavioral signals. The more organic clicks and orders a card gets, the higher its relevance in Kaspi search.
- Buyer trust. Cards with many orders and reviews convert better: for many categories Kaspi shoppers rely on ratings and sales numbers.
Which metrics and card elements affect organic
Almost every element of the product card and logistics influences ranking and attracted traffic. Below are the most critical elements from a seller’s perspective:
- Category and structured attributes. Correct category and fully filled attributes determine search relevance and filter visibility.
- Title. A title optimized for real user queries improves matching and CTR.
- Main photo and gallery. High-quality main photo, clear product shots and contextual gallery images significantly raise CTR.
- Price and promotions. Competitive pricing and visible promotions increase clicks and conversions.
- Stock availability and fulfillment. Actual stock levels and fast fulfillment reduce cancellations and improve ranking.
- Delivery options. Fast and reliable delivery options (including marketplace expedited services) positively affect conversions.
- Seller rating, reviews and number of sales. Higher ratings and more orders build trust and improve position.
- Behavioral metrics. CTR, conversion rate and return rate are direct signals for the algorithm.
- Detailed description and specifications. Honest, complete descriptions reduce returns and questions, improving user experience and performance.
- Return rate and cancellations. Frequent returns or cancellations lower ranking — work to minimize them through quality control and correct descriptions.
- Marketplace signals and badges (e.g., Buy Box eligibility). Eligibility for special placements and badges increases visibility and traffic.
- External indexing and links. If seller pages are indexed and get natural backlinks, external search can bring additional traffic.
Prioritize category/attributes, title, main photo, price and stock — these typically give the fastest positive effect on CTR and positions. Then focus on reviews, delivery speed and reducing returns to sustain growth.
