3. Change Time Period

4. Web Analytics

a. Performance overview

The organic performance gives an overview of your website traffic for a specific amount of time (7 days, 30 days, 90 days or 180 days). The rapport has 4 metrics:

  • Impressions: The number of times your pages appeared in search results.

  • Clicks: The number of clicks to your site from search results.

  • Position: The position of your site in search results, where 1 is the topmost position, 2 is the next and so on.

  • CTR: The percentage of impressions that resulted in a click.

The report can also be toggled between keywords and pages.

Further down is the click performance that gives more in-depth information regarding which keywords/pages are top-performing, growing or most declining.

The Position performance shows the keywords in ranking 8 - 10 because they offer a lot of potential when used in content.

The Most Improved Rankings is one of the go-to reports as it gives all the keywords with the greatest rise in ranking. This could be new keywords, but also updated content or content that suddenly got a spike in traffic.

The Key Position Breakdown presents a list of keywords/pages for a specific bucket, making it easy to keep track of rising or declining keywords per position group.

Finally, the Click Through Rate performance gives a scatter graph on the growth opportunities of keywords/pages. This helps to evaluate a content strategy and create actionable steps to update or remove specific content.
