Hello friends,

What is the Dwell Time on SEO?


Hitesh Patel

the dwell time means total time spent on the page by user or calculation of time duration which user spent on the page.Google has not officially released any statements about dwell time and rankings but released a patent in which they specify the measurement of the duration of a user on the page.

Dwell time is the actual length of time that a visitor spends on a page before returning to the SERPs. In theory, the longer the dwell time the better, as this indicates that the visitor has consumed most (if not all) of the content on a page before either returning to the SERPs or performing another action on the site.

dwell time is a Google ranking factor. I didn't believe it for a long time but Google has multiple dwell time patents from high level Google engineers and more patents have come out recently.

If by dwell time, you mean time spent on site... not directly. The answer to this is tricky though because the better user experience on your site, the more search engines want to show your website to their users.

Dwell time is a very critical metric that calculates user engagement, session duration, and SERP click through ratio.

"Dwell Time is a mixture of bounce rate and time-on-site metrics". Since it is not an accessible metric, we can only speculate as to the precise formula used to determine the dwell time number.

Suffice it to say, an optimal bounce rate, a healthy session duration, and a strong SERP CTR are all factors that improve dwell time. More on that later.
