5. How to read position

Google says position is "averaged across all queries" in charts, and in the table the value is the average "for the specific URL or grouping dimension", so each position above is that row's query and page average for the date range. Google also says "A link must get an impression" for a position to be recorded. Results are "specific to the time, place, device" of the searcher, so a manual search can show a different spot than the report.

6. Questions for you

  1. Can you paste or link the title, main heading and opening text for the pages you want to start with? Then the checks above can become concrete edits.
  2. Do you want the band or the 100 impressions cut changed? Rows just outside it are listed in the Row filter table.
  3. Over which later date range should we compare the same report after any change?
