Aliança's positioning report
Google has lost visitors to two out of three websites in Catalan
• The study analyzed the web traffic of 639 multilingual websites from the academic, public, media and business sectors.
• In 66.5% of the websites analyzed, the Catalan language option has seen its visibility reduced compared to the equivalent content in Spanish.
• There is a strong correlation (80% on average) between traffic in Catalan and Spanish, which means that the Spanish version gains almost one page view for every page that the Catalan version loses.
• The loss of visits is caused by a worse positioning of Catalan content on multilingual pages in Google searches, from May 2022.
