The Insight Graph gives you the freedom to create graphs with blended metrics, date ranges, chart types, etc. choosing from Average Rank, Keyword Rank, Domain Backlinks, Landing Page Social Signals, Social Analytics, Google Analytics / Search Console & SERP Features, and Visibility Score options.
Compare results to previous period, same time last year or select your own custom date range, and view with your choice of Main or Secondary Axis options.
Color Palette and Display Settings let you create a custom graph design.
When you're finished creating a graph, save a personalized version and then create additional
versions using different metrics, variables and styles of that graph for the same campaign using our Preset feature. Export your creation to a variety of image types or PDF, or add it directly to an existing scheduled White Label PDF Report.
December 2016 update: Majestic and Moz landing page metrics have been deprecated from metric options because they are no longer available via the API.

Average Rank Insight Graph
Trending competitor average rank is one of the many ways you can use the average rank metric in Insight Graphs.
Average Rank Options
Average Rank is the average rank of all campaign keywords combined for the selected time period. When you select the Average Rank Metric Type, you have a variety of options and filters to utilize for customizing your Insight Graph.
Metric Name
Enter the name that you want displayed as the legend label
Domain
Select from the list of domains being tracked for the campaign
Search Engine
Select a Search Engine
Keyword Tags Select the keyword tags you want to filter rank data by for display in the graph
Frequency
Display rank data by Day, Week or Month
Results Select all Rank results or filter Rank results by Top 10, Top 20, etc.
Average Rank Rules
If you want Average Rank calculated differently than actual rank, then enter a Rank Threshold number.
Rank Value enter the value you want Rank Ranger to use for keyword rank that is higher than the Rank Threshold you've chosen. Keyword rank value will then be calculated based on the number you set in the Rank Value field.
Enter 0 if you want the keyword ignored completely when calculating average rank.
Leave the Threshold at 500 and Rank Value at 0 to have the actual rank value used in calculating Average Rank, this is our default method.
Example:
In the screenshot, Rank Value is set at less than or equal to rank position 50, with a Rank Value of 0. This combination would cause keywords ranking in position 51 to 500 to not be counted at all in the Average Rank calculation.
Blending Metrics
One of the benefits of the Insight Graph is the ability to blend metrics to tell a marketing story. In this example, Average Rank and Traffic Sessions are trended over a 6 month period.

Visibility Score, Search Console Impressions and Clicks
Site Visibility Multiple Search Engine Comparison
If you're tracking rank in multiple countries for an e-commerce site, for example, the Insight Graph has an enterprise feature that allows for cross-campaign metrics to be added. In this example we've compared the search engine visibility in the UK and US on Bing organic, and Google organic and mobile.
Visibility Metrics Options
Visibility is based on the position of ranking keywords and average search volume. The Visibility Score takes into account all tracked keywords for a website, but can be adjusted to exclude certain keywords or search engines by using filters, however, the default settings will show the average of all keywords across all search engines being tracked for a website.

Device
Filter results by Desktop, Mobile or Tablet traffic, or select All.
Browser
Select All or filter results by Browser: Chrome, Firefox, Internet Explorer, Safari.
Frequency
Display data by Day or Month
Chart Display Date
For Google Analytics metrics in Insight Graphs, when the Frequency is set to Month, there is an option in Chart Display Settings that you can select a Display Date, either the 1st or 15th of the month. That setting determines the position (for comparison with other metrics) in the graph where the marker displays the metric number, however, the actual metric date is based on the report settings. If the report dates cover a 12 month period and the graph is set to monthly frequency, then the number that displays is the month's total - it displays the same number whether the marker is on the 1st or the 15th.
The system requires a date be selected because Insight Graphs allow the mixing of multiple metric types, so if for example daily or weekly Visibility Score or Average Rank were added to a graph along with Analytics data, the Analytics data needs to match with a date of those metrics during the month.
Google Analytics Custom Filters
The Custom Filter option is intended for expert level Google Analytics users who prefer to build their own filters. For the Custom Filter syntax, please refer to Google's support documentation:
In this example 4 metrics were selected with 2 displaying with the Area chart type and 2 with the Line option.
GMB Search Queries, Search Views & Post Views in Google Search
In this example we charted 2 metrics using the Column chart option and 2 using the Curved Line option.
Google Search Console Insight Graph

Refine the data you want displayed in the Insight Graph by selecting a Filter (e.g., Country, Device, Page or Query) and defining Option (e.g., Contains, Equals, Not Contains or Not Equals) and complete the filter by entering a Value, then click the Add Filter button. Filters & Options are available for current Search Console data (not archived data).
Please note that there can be a 3 to 5 day delay between the time Google compiles and releases this data via their API.
Archived Search Console Data
If you have selected the Enable RangerBot to store your monthly Search Console history in our Big Data center in the Campaign Settings, then you can add that data to an Insight Graph for visual trending by selecting Type: Search Console Archive and selecting either Clicks, Impressions, CTR or Position in the Metric field.
Search Console data is stored based on calendar months without filters. The options include:
Daily totals for Clicks, Impressions, CTR and Position
Unfiltered Keyword totals for up to 5000 queries
Unfiltered Landing Page totals for up to 5000 pages

Google Sheets Data in Insight Graph
Integrate Google Sheets data with marketing metrics in an Insight Graph
Google Sheets integration makes it possible for you to produce a graph with internal company data (e.g., sales, offline advertising, net profit, etc.) that is not available via third-party integration. That data can easily be blended in a graph with our search engine rank and backlink data, search traffic, social media and email campaign performance, and more.
In this example, we've used Google Sheet data for the Total Sales and Offline Advertising expense, and added Website Sales (from Google Analytics tracking) and AdWords Spend per month (AdWords must be linked to your Google Analytics profile - refer to Link Google Analytics and AdWords).
Insight Graph displaying data from Google Sheets, Analytics and AdWords
