Understanding the Search Report​

The Search Report provides detailed information about your website. It includes three types of data: Web, Image, and Video.

  • Total clicks: This is the number of times a user clicked through to your site. The way this is counted depends on the type of search result.
  • Total impressions: This is the number of times a user saw a link to your site in search results. The calculation method varies for images and other search result types, depending on whether or not the result was scrolled into view.
  • Average CTR: This is the percentage of impressions that resulted in a click.
  • Average position: This is the average position of your site in search results, based on its highest position whenever it appeared in a search. The position of individual pages is available in the table below the chart. Position determination can be complicated by features such as carousels or Knowledge Panels.
