Getting started
Sign in, connect Search Console and read your first dashboard.
Using the dashboard
Your sites, the site tabs, number cards, the chart, date ranges and tables.
Your sites page
Every active site with its last 28 days of clicks, impressions, CTR and position, the change against the 28 days before, a 90-day trend and its import status.
The site dashboard
A tour of a site dashboard from top to bottom, with links to the page that explains each part.
Site tabs: Overview, Queries, Pages, Countries & devices, Opportunities, Google updates
The tabs of a site, how to filter by clicking a query or page, and the countries and devices breakdown.
Opportunities
Four ready-made lists of what to work on next - queries close to page one, pages with a weak click-through rate, pages losing clicks and pages competing with each other.
Google updates, winners and losers
Confirmed Google core and spam updates shown as bands on the chart, and a view of the queries and pages that won or lost clicks around each one.
Annotations
Add dated notes for a launch, a migration or a campaign. They show as markers on the chart, in a list, and on page and query detail.
Number cards
Four cards show clicks, impressions, CTR and average position with their change, and choose what the chart draws.
Content groups
Group pages by URL rules (like /tents/ or /blog/), filter every report to a group, and compare groups side by side.
Performance chart
The trend chart on the Overview tab: one panel per metric, a 7-day average, a dashed comparison line, a hatched preliminary area and hover details.
Chart gestures (zoom)
Drag across the chart to zoom into a date range, reset with the Reset zoom button or a double-click, and cancel a drag with Escape.
Comparison windows (A and B)
Shift-drag two date ranges on the chart and compare window B against window A, with synced lengths, weekday matching and draggable edges.
Global controls
The bar at the top of a site's dashboard that sets the search type, date range, comparison, granularity and smoothing, plus the Ctrl/Cmd+K site switcher.
Command palette (site switcher)
Press Ctrl K or Cmd K on any page to jump to a site or to a tab of the site you are on.
Date range
Pick 7D, 28D, 3M, 6M, 12M or 16M to set the dates every number, chart and table follows.
Comparisons
Choose whether your date range is measured against the previous period, the same dates last year, or nothing.
Floating comparison rail
A small panel that follows you down the page and reminds you what the numbers on screen are being compared with.
Queries and pages table
Search, sort and filter the queries or pages behind your numbers, with changes against the comparison and a click change bar.
SEO tests
Find out whether a change to your pages moved your traffic, by comparing them with similar pages you left alone, before and after the change.
Branded and non-branded split
Set your brand terms and view all queries, only branded ones, or only non-branded ones.
Filters
Narrow every number, chart and table to the queries, pages, countries or devices you care about, with all-of and any-of groups, plain-language chips and a live preview.
Monthly heatmap
See the last 12 months for every query or page as a grid of shaded tiles, and spot content that is fading.
Saved filters
Save a set of filters under a name and bring it back in one click, replacing your current filters or adding to them.
Saved views
The Views menu, with a few ready-made filter sets, and how it differs from saved filter sets and from the full saved views the product plans.
Suggested filters
One-click starting points in the filter builder, such as long-tail, questions and buying intent, each with a live count of matches.
Account, sites and plans
Settings, connections, which sites are active, plan limits and deleting your account.
Account and settings
Rename your workspace, see plan usage, disconnect Google, choose which sites are active, saved or excluded, and delete your account.
Plans and limits
What Free, Pro and Agency include: active and saved sites, the 14-day swap lock, read-locked sites and how much history you can see.
Weekly email digest
A Monday email with last week's clicks, impressions, CTR and position for each active site, what grew and decayed, new opportunities, Google updates and your notes. Pro and Agency.
Metrics and concepts
What the numbers mean and why some of them look incomplete.
Metrics and how they add up
What clicks, impressions, CTR and average position mean, and how daily numbers become weekly and monthly ones.
Preliminary data
The most recent days in Search Console are incomplete and get revised, so the chart draws them dotted and hatched with a Preliminary label.
Anonymized traffic
Why the clicks in your queries table add up to less than your total.
Branded queries
Which searches count as "branded" (they include your brand name), how to filter them out, and how brand rules will work.
Contribution
How much of the total change in clicks one query or page explains, why it can pass 100 percent, and how the bars are drawn.
