Top 40 Netflix Movies & TV Shows; Based on International SEO Numbers

Back in February 2020, Netflix added a new feature to its platform that allows its users to to see the top 10 trending movies and TV shows in their specific country each day. The concept has been a wonderful way for me to discover new content to watch.

Being the SEO nerd that I am, Netflix’s “top 10 trends list” inspired me to take a look at what their most popular movies and TV shows are internationally — based on SEO data pulled from their website.

While most of their SEO visibility cones from the US (based on AHREFS keyword data) we can also see that the site gets a lot of visibility from India, the UK, Canada, Australia, France, and more:

So without further ado, the following is a list of the top 40 movies and TV shows on Netflix, globally. Check out each movie/show’s SEO stats, below!*

The biggest caveat of this data is that it only reflects SEO website traffic. It does not reflect organic clicks to the Netflix app or OTT — which are likely much bigger pieces of the traffic pie. Another caveat is that it is only based on Ahrefs estimate numbers. Though quite reliable, it is not as accurate as actual Google Analytics or Adobe Analytics numbers. 

Even after considering these limitations, it’s fun to look at what Netflix movies and TV shows drive the most traffic, keyword rankings, and backlinks to the website on a global scale. 

I hope you found this SEO “top trends” list interesting, and was able to add another show or two to ‘Your List’!
