There is a lot of fervor in the SEO industry for Python right now.<\/p>\n

It is a comparably easier programming language to learn and has become accessible to the SEO community through guides and blogs.<\/p>\n

But if you want to learn a new language for analyzing and visualizing your search data, consider looking into R.<\/p>\n

This article covers the basics of how you can produce time series forecasts in RStudio from your Google Search Console click data.<\/p>\n

But first, what is R?<\/h2>\n

R is \u201ca language and environment for statistical computing and graphics,\u201d according to The R Project for Statistical Computing<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n

R isn\u2019t new and has been around since 1993. Still, learning some of the basics of R \u2013 including how to interact with Google\u2019s various APIs \u2013 can be advantageous for SEOs.<\/p>\n

If you want to pick up R as a new language, good courses to learn from are:<\/p>\n

But if you grasp the basics and want to learn data visualization fundamentals in R, I recommend Coursera\u2019s guided project, Application of Data Analysis in Business with R Programming<\/a>.<\/p>\n

And then you also need to install:<\/p>\n

What follows are the steps for creating traffic forecasting models in RStudio using click data.<\/p>\n

Step 1: Prepare the data<\/h2>\n

The first step is to export your Google Search Console data. You can either do this through the user interface and exporting data as a CSV:<\/p>\n
