2. Channelswhere new users come from and what the traffic looks like
New-user source: SEO (Non-brand search). Search 45.7%, direct 39%, referrals 9.1%; about 18% of new users come from non-brand search, but the main terms are the Korean brand name '세타웨이브' and the misspelling thewaveai, so it is still effectively brand search.
