Pages are indexed but get no traffic
Search Console says your pages are indexed. Your analytics says nobody arrives. Both are true and neither explains the other.
Indexed means eligible, not visible
A page at position 40 is indexed, served, and seen by nobody. Coverage reports confirm eligibility, not attention. The two get confused constantly because the coverage report is the one that says a reassuring number.
Sort your pages by impressions, not by clicks
Pages with impressions and no clicks are being seen and passed over, which is a snippet problem. Pages with neither are not being served at all, which is a demand or authority problem. Those need opposite responses, and the sort order is the diagnosis.
Some pages will never work, and that is fine
On this site 93 of 160 pages earned fewer than ten clicks in 224 days. They cost about twenty minutes each because the template existed. The mistake is not publishing them, it is leaving them unexamined once they have answered.
Most of your pages will never get traffic, and that is normal
On this site, 93 of 160 pages earned fewer than 10 clicks across the whole window, and 22 earned zero. Meanwhile 75.4% of all clicks came from just five pages. This is not a failure state, it is the ordinary shape of a search-driven site. The mistake is treating the long tail of dead pages as fixable rather than as the cost of finding the five.
Find the pages that deserve the effort
Sort by impressions, not by clicks. A page with 8,000 impressions and 40 clicks is telling you it is one title away from mattering. A page with 60 impressions and 2 clicks is telling you nobody is searching for this. The first list is your work queue. The second is a decision about whether the page should exist.
Measured, not asserted
6 of 85 generated pages produced 82.9% of all tool-page clicks. 22 produced zero clicks, and every one of those still produced impressions.
