Organic Web Search Traffic

I am trying to report on organic leads that found our website by searching in a search engine.  Any tips on how best to do this?  There doesn't seem to be a standard out of the box report to show organic lead traffic.

Thanks

Todd, if you're going to start checking the referrer, leads must end up on the HTTPS version of your site, or else you will see rampant "direct" traffic that is actually from secure search engines or other secure sources.

I see that your site does have an HTTPS version available, but users are not redirected to the HTTPS version if they land on http://www.synthesio.com/​.

You can use a referrer page filter that uses a wildcard for google, yahoo etc....
