02 · What you can borrow
Betterment SEO Keywords, Sitemap Pages & AI Referrals
Betterment’s acquisition moves across pages, search terms and AI referrals, each with its data source.
Search · source keywords — Non-brand terms bring 1.4% of search traffic
Non-brand terms are traffic anyone can compete for; higher CPC means higher commercial value.
| Keyword | Traffic | CPC | Rank |
|---|---|---|---|
| bettermentBrand | 109.2K | $5.29 | 1 |
| betterment loginBrand | 14.6K | $4.43 | 2 |

| bettermnetNon-brand | 1.1K | $5.63 | 4 |
| bettementNon-brand | 690 | — | 5 |
Borrow: Search traffic is mostly branded, riding existing awareness; the non-brand needs it does not cover are open to you.
AI referrals · ChatGPT, Copilot… — AI referrals are early — not a growth source yet
15.5K visits from AI assistants (previous month 15K), 0.8% of all traffic.
