Understanding Your SEO Analytics Metrics

After successful integration of your SEO account, your Analytics application will display a tab labeled 'SEO'. Let's understand what these metrics mean for your analysis.

1. Average Position Changes

This visualization represents the cumulative changes in your website's rankings within Google's search results for the chosen time frame. Your net position shift will be displayed in bold text underneath the label. It will be accompanied by a downward-facing red arrow for net position loss, or an upward-facing green arrow for net position gain.

For particular dates, you can monitor your comprehensive position by hovering over the corresponding point on the graph, which reveals the specific date and the ranking on that day.

Note: Throughout this section and all subsequent sections, the date range can be modified via the calendar widget located at the top of the page.

When opening up the date selection option, you can select a pre-set range from the left column to instantly adjust your analytics for that period. Alternatively, determine a custom date range by clicking once to set the beginning date and again to set the ending date. Your analytics will then be updated to mirror these changes.

2. Average Position

This metric represents the average ranking for all your keywords for the selected date range.

As mentioned earlier, the tracked date range can be altered using the above calendar widget. Additionally, hovering over the graph reveals the average change for particular dates.

3. First Position

This graph indicates the total count of your first-position keywords amongst all your tracked keywords. The bold text indicates the current quantity of first-position keywords, followed by a downward-facing red arrow or an upward-facing green arrow suggesting a decrease or increase respectively over the period.

Again, the calendar widget allows for adjustments in the tracked date range, and hovering over the graph can reveal the count of first-position keywords on a specified day.

4. Current Positions

This section offers a straightforward breakdown of your keyword rankings, segregated into five (5) categories:

  • Position 1

  • Positions 2-3

  • Positions 4-10

  • Positions 11-30

  • Positions 31-100

The number of keywords fulfilling each category's criteria is displayed on the right.

Reviewing Tracked Keywords

The lower portion of this page is dedicated to your tracked keywords, providing a simple table that lists:

  • The keyword

  • Its position at the start date

  • Its position at the most recent date

  • The net ranking change over time

  • The page featuring the keyword

  • The location targeted for the keyword

As with the above graphs, altering the date range with the calendar widget will revise the information in the table.
