Google Search Console Search Analytics Pages

The Search Analytics Pages report displays a combination graph and table detailing the Pages on your site that were seen most often in search results. Page URL with the corresponding number of Impressions, Clicks, Click-thru-Rate, and Average Position in either Google Web, News, Images, or Videos Search queries are displayed in a sortable table. The multi-axis graph charts the search metrics for each date.

Data provided in this report is filterable by the Search Types(tabs in Google Search): Web, News, Images, and Videos for all Locations and all Traffic queries. Please note that there can be a 3 to 5-day delay between the time Google compiles and releases this data via their API.

At the present time, Google's data storage policy is restricted to the past 3 months. In Rank Ranger's Campaign Settings > Webmaster Tools, you have the option to allow RangerBot to archive monthly snapshots of your Search Console data for historical comparison in this report.

Important! To view this report Google Webmaster Tools / Search Console must be configured correctly, please refer to Rank Ranger's Search Console documentation.

Search Analytics Total Queries and Graph

While viewing the graph, you can hover over any point to view the number of Impressions, Clicks, CTR, and Average Position for a specific date.

Landing Page with Column Sorting

You can click the arrows at the top of the Impressions, Clicks, CTR, and Position columns to change the sort to ascending or descending order. The default sort column is Clicks.

Custom Filters and Landing Page Tags

In this example, directly below the title, the Active Filters (refer to Report Options) are listed, with a quick Reset Settings option that clears the filters and generates the report with default settings.

In addition to a custom filter set to "Page contains 'hotel'", Landing Page Tags were utilized to define a specific set of site pages. Landing Page Tags are available only in Enterprise-level packages.

Campaign Settings > Landing Pages

Landing Page Tags can be imported in the Campaign Settings > Landing Page screen, and are useful for sites that have content relating to a specific location or topic spread across multiple directories. You may add landing pages that exist in the primary domain being tracked in the campaign, along with tags for grouping those pages.

Landing Page Tags Settings
In the Campaign Settings > Landing Pages screen:

URL Address: enter the full URL, e.g., https://example.com/page-name
Enter Tag: enter a Tag / Friendly Name for the URL as you want it displayed in the report options

Search Console Search Analytics Pages Report
After associating URLs with Tags, you can filter this report by Tag(s) to only display the URLs you want to be listed in the report. When the Landing Page Tags filter is enabled the chart is intentionally disabled because the filter will not apply to the chart.

View Snapshots

If in the campaign's Search Console settings you have selected the option that enables RangerBot to archive monthly snapshots of your Search Console data, then in the top right corner of this report you will see the View Snapshots option that allows you to select and view data from previous months. That Historical Data Storage option causes the following Search Console data to be stored based on calendar months without filters:

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

Assisted Conversions	Google's measure of any interaction, other than the final click, that led to a consumer converting on a website.
Assisted Value	The total value of the conversions assisted by the channel.
Attribution	The process of assigning credit for sales and conversions to touchpoints in conversion paths. Attribution allows marketers to quantify each channel's contribution to sales and conversions. For example, many people may purchase on your site after searching for your brand on Google. Refer to this Google Support document for more information.
Avg. Time on Site	Displays the average length of time a visitor spent on a particular page or set of pages.
Avg. Value	A calculation of Event Value / Total Events.

Completions	The total number of users who have completed all elements defined for a particular goal.
Conversion	A completed activity, online or offline, that is important to the success of your business. Examples include a completed sign-up for your email newsletter (a Goal conversion) and a purchase (a transaction, sometimes called an Ecommerce conversion). Refer to this Google Support document for more information.
Conversion Rate	The number of conversions is divided by the number of total ad clicks that can be tracked to a conversion during the same time period.
Cost	The total cost of Google AdWords campaigns, in currency units defined by the Google account user.
Channel Grouping	A roll-up of traffic sources in the Acquisition reports that groups several marketing activities together. Channel groupings allow you to view and compare aggregated metrics by channel name, as well as an individual traffic source, medium, or campaign name. Refer to this Google Support document for more information.
CPC (Cost Per Click)	Cost-per-click is the average cost an advertiser paid for each click on search ad(s).
CTR (Click Through Ratio)	Displays the Click-through-ratio for an ad. This is equal to the number of clicks divided by the number of impressions the ad received.

Values for the City Name dimension could be New York, London, etc. Refer to this Google Support document for more information.

Each time the tracking code is triggered by a user’s behavior (for example, the user loads a page on a website or a screen in a mobile app), Analytics records that activity. Each interaction is packaged into a hit and sent to Google’s servers. Refer to this Google Support document for more information.
Impressions (Ads)	The measurement of how many times an ad is shown.
Impressions (Search Console)	An impression is the display of a website link in search results or an advertisement. This metric accounts for the total number of impressions recorded by Google for a website or ad campaign.

This is a number that indicates whether this channel primarily results in last interaction conversions or is predominantly assisted conversions. Numbers of 1.5 and higher indicate that this channel is predominantly accounting for assisted conversions, while numbers closer to 0 indicate the channel’s contribution to conversions is predominantly as the last interaction.
Last Interaction Value	The total value of the conversions completed by the listed channels.
Metric	Individual elements of a dimension that can be measured as a sum or a ratio. For example, the dimension City can be associated with a metric like Population, which would have a sum value of all the residents of the specific city. Refer to this Google Support document for more information.
New Users	New Users is based on Google's ga:newUsers metric and represents the number of sessions marked as a user's first sessions.
