Google Search Console Data

To view the data you need, choose the date range you want to analyze. You can pick any particular date or date range. On top of that, you can choose to compare two periods of time by setting the necessary date range manually or picking one of the suggested options.



You have the following options to choose from:

• Today
• Yesterday
• Last week
• Last month
• Last 7 days
• Last 30 days
• Custom

If you tick the “Show previous values” checkbox, the graphs will show you the difference in performance between the two selected periods in percentage. When unchecked, the difference will be displayed in numbers. You can also remove data for the previous period from the graphs. To do so, simply drag the slider.

Once you set the date range, all the data charts and graphs will be updated accordingly.



You can analyze the following graphs:

• Clicks — shows how many times users clicked through to your website;
• Impressions — shows how many times users saw a link to your website in the search results;
• CTR — percentage of impressions that resulted in a click;
• Average position of your site in the search results.

The meaning of the color markings is explained in the legend right below the graphs.

You can filter the data using one metric or several metrics at the same time:

• Search type (web, image, video);
• Device type (Desktop, mobile, tablet);
• Country;
• Search Appearance: (rich results, product results, review snippet, etc.);
• Query (you can exclude queries containing a certain keyword, or get a list of queries containing certain keyword);
• URL (you can exclude some URLs or get data on certain URLs).

1. Keywords that generated impressions for your website in Google SERPs.
2. Keyword ranking positions that have been added to the project.
3. Average ranking position in Google for the specified keyword (not including the target region).

The numbers in the “Position” and “Average position” columns may differ. Under the “Position” column, you can find the most recent ranking positions of the keywords that have been added to SE Ranking projects. Under the “Average position” column, the system displays data from Google (average position in Google for the specified keyword, not including the target region ).

    4.  Number of clicks to the site for the specified keyword.

    5.  Number of impressions in Google search for the specified keyword.

    6.   CTR (%).
